If you have completed your bachelor's degree with a final grade of "sufficient" or grade D equivalent to the German grade “ausreichend” (up to 4.0), you can still be admitted to a master's or MBA programme. For this, you need:

• A bachelor's degree (final grade 3.5 - 4.0) from a state or state-approved higher education institution/university
  and

• Relevant academic achievements from a master's/MBA programme at a state or state-approved higher education institution/university, relevant to the desired master's/MBA programme with a minimum of 20 ECTS credits or

• A relevant completed master's/MBA degree from a state or state-approved higher education institution/university
  or

• Relevant qualifications outside of academia which can be credited to you such as further education/training at GQF7 level or – for foreign qualifications such as postgraduate diplomas – equivalent to GQF7 level relevant to the desired master's/MBA programme, with a minimum of 20 ECTS credits

Tip: If you apply for recognition, we can review your relevant achievements and, where possible, credit them towards your study programme in a relevant field.

Proof of at least one year’s qualified professional experience completed prior to the start of the study programme. (Professional experience must be gained after the completion of your undergraduate studies).
