Admission to Master's Programs
Selection Process and Admission Criteria
How are master’s program spots allocated – is your bachelor’s grade enough, or are there other factors? Are the spots limited?
The selection processes for master’s programs vary depending on the type of program. Essentially, there is a distinction between restricted admission programs (with NC) and non-restricted admission programs. In both cases, factors beyond your final grade – such as a letter of motivation – may be considered in the selection process.
On this page, you’ll find information about the different types of selection processes, how they differ, and what you should keep in mind if you’re interested in applying for a master’s program.
What should you pay attention to? Make sure to find out early whether your desired program has non-restricted or restricted admission – and how the process is ultimately structured. You’ll find all the relevant details in the respective master’s program regulations, the selection procedure statutes (if applicable), and on the program’s webpage in the program finder.
