Standard period of study and the coronavirus pandemic
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the standard period of study is extended by one semester
To ensure that students in Hessen are not disadvantaged by the current corona restrictions, the Hessian state government has decided to extend the standard period of study by one semester for all students enrolled at Hessian universities in the summer semester 2020.
As a result, students of the Goethe University can also apply for support through the Germany Scholarship if they exceed the previous standard period of study within the coming support period. If funding is approved, the funding can be extended by one semester after the standard period of study has been exceeded, provided that this semester is still within the 2020/2021 funding period.
