    MasterStudy

    To be eligible for admission to a Master's programme, you must hold a Bachelor's or equivalent degree (e. g. Diplom or state examination). In addition, you must demonstrate proficiency in the relevant field, i. e. must demonstrate that you have acquired certain knowledge and skills in areas relevant to the respective Master's programme. In some cases, you must also go through an aptitude assessment procedure (i. e. must sit a test or similar) or the final grade of your Bachelor’s degree must be above a certain threshold. You will be informed about the specific entry requirements for the Master's programme of your choice during the application procedure. Information on specific entry requirements is also available in the FSB (subject-specific provisions) for the programme in question.

    To allow students to directly move on to a Master's programme after graduating from a Bachelor's programme, students may apply for admission to a Master's programme pending completion of their Bachelor's degree provided that they have acquired the required knowledge and skills and/or have achieved a certain number of ECTS credits at the time of application (please note that this option is only available for programmes with unrestricted admission).

    Due to the large number of applications, admission to some Master's programmes is restricted (see table below). If admission restrictions are in place, all applicants that meet the requirements for eligibility for admission to the respective programme will have to go through an admission procedure. 

    In addition, some Master's programmes require qualified work experience of usually no less than one year.

    Application deadline

    Applications for admission to Master’s programmes will close on 15 January (for summer intake) and on 15 July (for winter intake).

    Please be aware that some of the Master’s programmes that are taught in English and require application directly through the Faculty may have other application deadlines (indicated in the table below)!

    Where do I submit my application?

    Check the table below to find out where you will have to submit your application. Applications can be submitted during the designated application periods only. You can apply for admission to several Master's programmes.

    Aptitude assessment

    The aptitude of applicants will be assessed by the competent aptitude assessment panel at the respective Faculty. This panel will review the documents the applicants submitted per email (after having applied online via the University's web portal) and will make a decision as to whether they meet the requirements for eligibility for admission to the Master's programme of their choice. In addition, applicants might also be required to sit aptitude tests and/or attend selection interviews.

    Information on specific entry requirements is available in the FSB (subject-specific provisions) for the programme of your choice.

    Admission procedure

    The admission procedure for restricted admission Master's programmes is divided into two stages. In stage one, the competent body will assess whether applicants meet the general requirements for eligibility for admission. The actual selection process will then take place in stage two.

    Currently, places on all restricted admission Master's programmes are allocated on the basis of the overall grade awarded for an applicant's Bachelor's degree. If necessary due to the number of applications, a certain percentage of places will be reserved in advance for applicants claiming hardship (2 percent), for foreign nationals (5 percent), and for top athletes (2 percent).

    Therefore, only those applicants who have completed their Bachelor's degrees by 15 September (for winter intake) or 15 March (for summer intake) will be able to participate in the admission procedure. It will not be possible to admit applicants to restricted admission Master's programmes on a conditional basis.

    Admission thresholds for Master's programmes

     

    If you already have ECTS credits, you may apply for credit transfer. The decision on whether your previous study is eligible for credit transfer will be made by the competent aptitude assessment panel or examination committee. If your credits are recognised, it might be possible to admit you to a higher subject semester. For more information on credit transfer and the respective form, please refer to the Examination Office. If you are unsure whether certain qualifications/examination achievements are considered equivalent, please consult with the competent degree programme coordinator or course advisor.
