If you do not sufficiently meet any of these requirements, but your overall grade is at least 2.3 (approx. “good”) and your studies, curriculum vitae and motivation indicate a particular fit for our programme, you may also be admitted upon consideration of the following factors:
- The scope and grades of the courses, which are particularly relevant for the master's program, as well as the final thesis of your first academic qualification.
- Your international experiences as they relate to the program.
- Your practical experiences and additional qualifications, which may be relevant to the program.
- Your individual areas of interest and reflections on the content and requirements of the master program, as indicated in your letter of motivation and your curriculum vitae, which inform the university about your background, knowledge, and skills as well as your personal goals and your capacity to study successfully.
The acquisition of credit points in qualitative and/or quantitative research methods can be made up as early as possible and at the latest by the 4th semester.
If, at the time of application, evidence of a professional qualification cannot yet be provided, it is possible to first document the given level of performance (at least 140 credit points) by means of a current transcript of records.
