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

The application deadlines for the individual Master's degree programs can be found in the table below under the respective degree program.

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.

The application can be made either via WueStudy, the faculty, the International Office or the university portal. However, the opportunity to apply is only activated during the application period.

Applications via the faculty: Follow the link to the master's degree program of your choice.

International Students

Foreign students without german academic background can find information about where to apply in the table on the International Office website under “Application procedure”.

Applicants with a foreign academic background ( foreign Bachelor)

Applicants for admission to a Master’s programme who completed their previous degree (e.g. Bachelor’s degree) in a country other than Germany please check here whether you need a VPD to apply for the respective degree program.

Requried Knowledge of German

Please check here  which level of german knowledge must be proven in your master´s programme.

How will I know whether my application was accepted?

You will be sent an email informing you of whether your application for admission was accepted or rejected.

Your letter of admission or rejection will then be available for you to download directly from the WueStudy portal.

If you receive an offer of admission and, at the time you enrol, you are not yet able to submit your Bachelor’s certificate, you will initially be enrolled into the Master's programme on a conditional basis. Please see your letter of admission for the deadline by which you must submit your Bachelor's certificate.

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 the end of the late submission period 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.

Clinical Psychology, Psychotherapy and Clinical Neuroscience - Master of Science: End of the late submission period WS 03.09./SOSE 03.03.

 

Media Entertainment - Master of Science: End of the late submission period WS 15.09./SOSE 15.03.

Psychology - Master of Science: End of the late submission period WS 03.09./SOSE 03.03.

Psychology of digital media - Master of Science: End of the late submission period WS 15.09./SOSE 15.03.

 

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.

You will be able to apply for admission to the following Master's programmes (either as a single-subject programme with 90 or 120 ECTS credits or as a major with 45 ECTS credits) through WueStudy or directly through the respective Faculty. Unless otherwise specified, we offer both winter and summer intake. In the ‘Intake’ column of the table below, ‘WS/SS’ stands for both winter and summer intake, ‘WS’ stands for winter intake only.
