Transition from Bachelor to Master

At the end of the bachelor's degree, many students are faced with the question of how to continue their personal life or educational path. Do you want to start a career or deepen your knowledge in a master's program? Continuation of studies at the same university or a change of university? Many questions and fundamental decisions.

The range of master's programs offered at German universities is very diverse. You should therefore find out about the different admission requirements at an early stage. A completed university degree is basically required for admission to a master's program. In addition, admission to the master's program may depend on further special admission requirements. Detailed information on the admission requirements can be found in the respective master's examination regulations or from the relevant student advisor.
