Application Requirements
When you apply to a Master’s program in Psychology in Germany, universities will usually expect you to have an academic degree in a related discipline. Since a course in Psychology may focus on different aspects of social sciences, natural sciences, and the humanities, different degrees are accepted by different programs. For some courses, relevant fields may be natural sciences, Mathematics, Informatics, Neuroscience, Biology or Medicine, and for others these may be Philosophy or Linguistics. A first degree in Psychology should get you into most programs, however some programs may require students to have a certain amount of classes in Statistics or Clinical Research. Usually, application tests or interviews are not part of the admission process, students must simply submit required documents. In addition to standard certificates (e.g. first degree certificate, a transcript of records, a language certificate), a CV and a letter of motivation are typically required.
