Application Documents
- Proof of a general university entrance qualification or of a qualification recognized as equivalent by the responsible state body.
- Proof of the existence of a first professional qualification. If there was no graduation certificate, a preliminary certificate must be submitted, in which at least the grades of the first five semesters (corresponding to at least 150 credit points) have been received. If the university does not provide a provisional certificate, the transcript of records is sufficient for the time being. The graduation certificate must be presented upon registration.
- Evidence of sufficient language skills (see language requirements).
- CV in tabular form.
- Certified proof of the achievements and courses attended during the first-degree course (transcript of records).
- Short essay on a given topic from the field of "National and transnational studies". The topic will be announced on the homepage of the degree program at least two weeks before the application portal opens. The essay must be around 2000 words long. In addition to scientific standards and relevance, as well as adherence to standards of scientific work against the background of the applicant's previous study and focus areas, it should demonstrate the willingness essential for the study, also beyond the previously acquired technical certainty and the established academic canon a general question that is programmatic for the interdisciplinary field of National and Transnational Studies. The focus is not on the presentation of specialist knowledge, but on the self-critical production of transdisciplinary transfer services and the creative inclusion of non-specialist perspectives.
- If necessary, proof of stays abroad, practical work experience or other additional qualifications.
