Admission and enrolment
Terms of admission
As a rule, outstanding bachelor’s degree qualifications are accepted for the Master programme. Candidates will be admitted without an entry examination if they have
- gained an FH-BSc in a related subject and graduated with grades of A, B or ≥ 5
- and/or demonstrated an equivalent qualification (e.g. FH-diploma or university degree)
Motivated students who do not fulfil the entry requirements entirely will be invited to an interview with the head of the programme.
Graduates of a previous course of studies from a science or technical institute of higher education (predecessors of the bachelor’s degree) with two years of career experience and graduates from post diploma studies can receive up to 30 credit points.
The language of teaching is English. This requires that beside the technical and scientific skills the applicants must be able to read scientific articles and books, to follow the lectures, to participate in discussions and be able to write the thesis in English on their own. Therefore, it must be emphasised that students who want to undertake the MSc programme need adequate skills in English.
