Application Documents
For your application, you need:
- A cover letter (1 page max.), stating at least that you are applying to the EEC program, but ideally also including a very brief summary of your background and your motivation for applying to the program.
- Your BSc certificate (or a certificate of an equivalent degree with at least 180 CP) including a transscript of records. If you do not have your degree certificate yet, you can also submit a transcript of records with at least 150 CP. Your degree certificate can then be submitted later if you are accepted to the program.
- A detailed CV summarizing your education and relevant work or internship experience.
- A Certificate of English. See language requirements for further information.
- Your solution to the entry exam question for the EEC program.
Applicants from non-German universities additionally need to supply:
- A full transcript of records with grades for each course including a syllabus/course catalogue which specifies the content of each course. All documents must be in German or English (if the original is not in German or English, you must provide a certified translation).
- Certificate of German language skills (at least A1). If you do not have this certificate at the time of your application, you can obtain it during your first year of study. If you are a citizen of a German-speaking country or went to school in a German-speaking country (e.g. Austria, Switzerland), this will also be considered as proof of your German language skills.
