Depending on the university, the students are accepted in one of the following research subjects: Religious Studies, History of Religions, Didactics or History of Religions with an Islamic focus (Islamology) or Systematic Theology with a focus on Islamic Theology and Philosophy. The criteria for assessing applications are determined by the universities. The students follow the general study plans that apply in each subject at the respective university, and participate in the research environments that are established there.
