The application documents must be submitted in due time to the student secretariat of Bielefeld University and contain:

1. The final certificate of a previous qualified degree and the associated documents (transcript, transcript of records, diploma supplement or similar) that provide information about the individual course of study, the modules completed, the achievements during the course and their assessments and about the individual professional profile of the completed course.

2. If there is no diploma from a previous qualified degree, a provisional final document and/or a current transcript of records or correspondingly meaningful documents within the meaning of point 1 will be submitted.
3. German language skills are beneficial for the course; however, proof of this is waived for enrollment.
4. Proof of knowledge of the English language for applicants who do not speak English as their mother tongue (see language requirements).

6. Study-related, English-language written work sample of 10 to 15 pages.
