   • Computational Biology: Biology.
   • Earth System Sciences: earth sciences, meteorology, or physics.
   • Theoretical Chemistry: Inorganic Chemistry, Quantum Chemistry, or
   • Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics: Quantum Physics and Statistical Physics.

If the underlying study program has not yet been completed at the time of application, an application is possible if at least 80 percent of the credit points to be acquired or the achievements recognized as equivalent have already been proven and all examinations will have been taken by September 30 of the same year. In this case, a result calculated and certified by the examination office of the bachelor's degree program on the basis of the examinations taken up to that point shall take the place of the degree .
