You can begin your studies in the winter or summer term. Click here for more details on the start, end, and other semester dates.

To apply successfully, please read the information below carefully.

Prerequisites

2) The overall grade achieved in the Bachelor's degree should be at least "good" (Grade: 2.5) or better. (If your undergraduate degree was given in a different grading system, your grade will be converted by Uni-Assist when you apply.)

3) All courses are taught in English. Therefore, applicants must provide proof of the language level B2 (or better) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. If your mother tongue is not English, language skills can be proven as follows:
