Econοmiсs

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in economics.

Whether the criteria for acceptance into the master's program are met or not will be reviewed on an individual basis before the enrollment process.

A minimum requirement concerning the comparability of degrees from European universities is that the combined credits in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, statistics, and math core courses are at least 35 in the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). For applicants with degrees from universities outside the European Union and without a formal Partnership/Learning Agreement with the University of Bayreuth, similar credits in these core subjects are required, and, in addition, individual GRE General Test Scores that must be in the top 25%.

If you have a bachelor’s degree in, say, Business Administration, Management, Commerce, or Banking & Finance and the overlap with a quantitative BSc in Economics consists only of basic microeconomics and macroeconomics, with little calculus involved, then there is no point in applying. If, however, your degree was taught at a high mathematical level (e.g., you know what to do with a probability density function, how to maximize Cobb-Douglas utility subject to a budget constraint, you are familiar with the notion of a transitive preference relation, IS-LM diagrams, OLS regression, etc.) then you should applу.
