BASIC ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The basic requirement for admission to a master’s program is the completion of a bachelor’s program and the successful passing of the state examination.

ADDITIONAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

• The relevance or connection of the study program to the completed bachelor’s degree.
• Applicants for master’s degree programs who have successfully completed their bachelor’s degree will be admitted based on their academic performance during their undergraduate studies, their results on the state examination, or their active participation in the Student Research Conference.
