Application for advanced/ higher semester

 

Besides the option to apply for the first semester in order to switch in one of our master degree programmes at the WiSo faculty, you might have the option to apply for an advanced semester in our Master’s degree programmes. But please note, that several requirements have to be fulfilled.

As our Master’s programmes only start in fall term, you can only apply for the 2nd semester in summer term and for the 3rd semester in fall term.

Further requirements for a successful application are:

  • There are free places available in the degree programme and in the relevant semester,

  • The master admission criteria for the 1st semester must be fulfilled,

  • The student has already passed examinations in her/ his current master degree programme and has gained ECTS credit points, which can be transferred. E.g.:

  • An application for the 2nd semester is only possible if at least 15 ECTS can be transferred from the current master programme,

  • An application for the 3nd semester is only possible if at least 45 ECTS can be transferred from the current master programme.

Important information:

  • Only a maximum of 60 ECTS can be transferred.

  • Only equivalent courses can be taken into account. Depending on the university’s content and structures, the degree programmes differ a lot. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that all courses can be transferred.

Application procedure:

The following documents must be submitted to the Admissions Committee as certified copies. This is due to the fact that the respective subject representatives have to review your courses from the current Master programme and check, if a switch is possible.

  • Transcript of records of your current master programme
