Qualification Requirements

Previous Degree

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in the ethnology course (subject area ethnology at least 50%) or in courses with essentially comparable methodological, thematic and theoretical orientation.

MInimum standard period of study: 3 years.

For the master's degree in ethnology (120 CP), the proportion in the subject of ethnology must generally be at least 50% or 70 ECTS points and in exceptional cases at least 20% or 28 ECTS points. If the subject of ethnology is less than 50% or 70 ECTS points, a selection interview will be carried out to determine whether the applicant has the necessary professional qualifications to study the master's program in ethnology.

Admission can also be applied if the degree is not available by the end of the application period but it can be expected that the bachelor's degree must be met in time before the start of the lecture period for the master’s degree. In this case, it is sufficient to provide the university with a provisional certificate of the achievements actually made up to that point, with the promise that the bachelor's thesis is already submitted and is expected to be completed by the beginning of the semester for which admission is sought.

Additional information:
Evidence for German-language applicants (mother tongue and/or with a German-language university degree): German native speakers or applicants who already have a German university degree must demonstrate English language skills at level B2 of the European Framework of Reference. Alternatively, proof can also be provided by school certificates (which prove that the foreign language has been learned over a period of at least 6 years until graduation, which entitles the holder to enter higher education), proof of teaching at a secondary school where English is the primary language of instruction or other comparable evidence. Proof of English-language applicants (mother tongue and/or English-language university degree): English native speakers or applicants who already have an English university degree do not need proof of the German language. In this case, another modern language with knowledge of at least 2 years of school tuition is required or EU reference framework A2 or comparable knowledge. For non-German or English-language applicants: if the applicants are not German or English native speakers, sufficient English language skills must be demonstrated (tests mentioned above).
