A maximum of 16 ECTS can be substituted by additional ECTS in the fields of mathematics or statistics beyond the required 30 ECTS.
Candidates who do not fulfill the admission criteria (min. 30 ECTS in Economics/Math/Statistics, min. 40 ECTS in Business Administration) are allowed to participate in the selection process if they belong to the top 10% of their cohort and officially prove this.
You can apply for a place on the master’s course even if you won’t be completing your bachelor’s course until after the end of the ongoing semester. However, all your pending examinations must have been taken by September,30th. Until you have obtained your BA degree, your application for a place on the MA course will be deemed provisional.

The transcript must bear an official stamp or seal, as well as the signature of the Dean of the Faculty or a member of the Examinations Office or an online verificatiοn link.

Application Procedure & Selection
Application Documents
Applicants are required to submit the following documents with their application:
- Proof of completion of an undergraduate degree of professional qualification. If the applicant has not received their undergraduate degree certificate by the application deadline, the candidate may submit a preliminary certificate, confirming that the student will have earned at least 140 credits upon completion of the undergraduate course of study. The candidate must confirm their grade point average at the time of application. A statement substantiating that the content-based requirements have been fulfilled and which is signed by the responsible dean or an authorized representative on their behalf can also be recognized as a preliminary certificate. The undergraduate degree certificate must be presented at enrolment in the master’s program. Applicants who did not earn their undergraduate degree of professional qualification at a German- or English-language higher education institution must submit a German or English translation of the documents/certificates indicated above. If the candidate’s undergraduate degree certificate is based on a grading scheme that does not correspond to the grading scheme, the candidate must explain how the grades and final grades of the individual degree-relevant examinations listed on the degree certificate correspond to those provided in the Examination Regulations. If the candidate’s undergraduate degree certificate uses a credit point system that does not correspond to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), the candidate must specify how the point values of the listed required coursework and degree-relevant examinations correspond to the ECTS points.
- Confirmation of all required coursework and degree-relevant examinations (e.g transcript of records) completed in connection to the candidate’s undergraduate program (including coursework completed in the orientation phases and comparable study phases, irrespective of whether the resulting grades were used in calculating the bachelor’s grade), listing the respective credits awarded and the average grade at the time of application.
- Proof of sufficient language competence (see language requirements).
- Proof of sufficient GMAT or GRE test scores.
- If applicable, proof that the applicant is among the top 10% of the graduating class of their respective degree program.

Admission can be denied if the application is incomplete (i.e. if documents provided are missing), or is submitted after the given deadline. Incomplete or late applications and their accompanying documents cannot be considered in the selection process and are returned at the applicant’s expensе.
