The requirements of the course are
- An
economics degree from a German university with at least 210 ECTS credit
points or an equivalent qualification from a university in Germany or
abroad. A certificate must be submitted as proof. The Examination
Commission decides on equivalence. Proof shall be submitted in the form of
a leaving certificate/a VPD. Solely the examination committee decides
whether a particular degree or university is equivalent.
It is possible to apply for a master’s degree
with less than 210 ECTS (normally 180 ECTS); however, proof of compensation of
the missing 30 ECTS has to be provided no later than the end of the application
period by means of:
- Proof of practical experience
outside the degree course which corresponds to the practical semester of a
bachelor’s degree in terms of content and scope.
or
- Proof of practical or theoretical
studies and examinations passed at a German or foreign university in addition
to the student’s first degree which corresponds in content and scope to the
demands of a bachelor's degree.
Please note that where
documents are submitted to show evidence of practical professional experience
or either practical or theoretical achievements worth 30 ECTS – in addition to
a bachelor’s degree – the documents must clearly indicate that the 30 ECTS
were obtained over and above the bachelor's degree programme. Confirmation
can be provided by the university showing that the ECTS/internship were not
counted towards the first degree. The duration of the practical professional
experience gained outside the first degree should be equivalent to 20 weeks of
full-time work. Furthermore, the experience reference must be submitted on an
official letterhead together with a description of the tasks you hold.
- Successful
completion of an aptitude test for determining course-specific
suitability. The aptitude test consists of uploading further documents
within the application portal; there is no physical test/interview or
similar. These documents are:
- Proof of your knowledge in the relevant sector based on your pre-studies (transcript of records)
- Proof of relevant working experience (official working certificates)
- Proof of a project report/bachelor’s thesis in a relevant sector (cover sheet, abstract and table of contents)
An applicant is deemed to be suitable if at least 40 points of the maximum
achievable points are achieved in the aptitude test.
- Proof
of satisfactory knowledge of the English language (level B2 of the Common
European Framework of Reference of Languages). A list of all accepted
certificates can be found here: Englischtests und Nachweis für
Leve B2 (pdf)
This certification is not required of applicants who have completed their university degree in the English language or when the applicant is a citizen of a country where English is spoken as a first language.
