to apply for a Master's degree at the UE.
We are thrilled that you are interested in a UE Master’s study programme. To be accepted into one of our Master’s programmes, you have to meet our admission requirements*. Everything you need to know is listed below. Should you have any further questions, our student advisor would be glad to support you all along your journey. You can apply a year in advance for our winter semester (start: September each year) or the equivalent summer semester (start: March each year). If you have just missed the application and semester starting dates, don’t worry. We would add your application to a candidate list for the next upcoming intake. If you already have a valid student visa for Germany, you can apply within the official application deadline.
The main requirement for a Master’s degree at UE is a completed Bachelor’s degree. If you are transferring from a different university and were enrolled in a non-specialist Bachelor’s degree, you must complete a preparatory course before starting your studies. This depends on the Master’s degree of your choice.
