Bachelor/Bakkalaureus (and other qualifications, provided that they are recognised as being equivalent) Minimum requirements for first university degree: Minimum grade: 2.50 For this degree programme, you should have gained your first university qualification in one of the following subjects groups or areas of study: Economic Sciences, History, Ancient Studies, Philosophy Admission for graduates with a German university degree: The requirement for admission to the Master's programme in History & Economics is a university degree with a final grade of 2.5 ('gut') or better in the University of Bayreuth Bachelor's programmes Economics, European History, or Philosophy & Economics or a comparable degree. If you do not fulfil the requirement, you can still apply to study with us, but you may have to go through an additional interview process. A Bachelor's degree in Economics or History from a university in the Federal Republic of Germany with a final grade of 2.5 or better is recognised as a comparable degree, but admission may be subject to conditions. Applicants whose degree is not in economics or history, but is closely related (e.g., a major in Political Science, Ethnology, or Statistics with a minor in Economics) can also be admitted, subject to certain conditions. Typical conditions may stipulate that particular modules from the Bachelor's programme at the University of Bayreuth have to be successfully completed within one year. An admission committee will determine if the criteria for acceptance into the Master's programme have been met on an individual basis prior to the enrolment process. Admission for graduates without a German university degree: A Bachelor's degree in Economics or History from a foreign university will be recognised if we reckon that the implied chances of succeeding in the demanding Master's programme are at least as high as those of a student with a Bachelor´s degree in Economics, History, or Philosophy & Economics from the University of Bayreuth with a final grade of 'gut' (2.5 or better in the German grading system). This necessitates that the completed curriculum is sufficiently similar and the obtained grades are sufficiently good. An admission committee will determine if the criteria for acceptance into the Master's programme have been met on an individual basis prior to the enrolment procеss.
