Before starting


  • When does the next course start?

    Admission to the part-time degree programme takes place once a year and starts in the winter semester. 

     



  • When is the registration deadline for the start of the winter semester?

    The registration period ends in mid-October.




  • What are the admission requirements?

    In addition to a university degree, you need a language certificate (German A1). 





  • Can I start the programme with a BA 180?

    In principle yes, but you will need a total of 300 ECTS for a Master's degree. In the MBA International Health Care Management programme, we award 90 ECTS. In order to achieve the required number, you must complete an additional project within the first semester.






  • Will my degree be recognised as a Bachelor's equivalent?

    The German and European education market has become increasingly complex in recent years. The number of degrees awarded has increased. If you have not attended a regular degree programme at a university or university of applied sciences, we will have to have your case examined individually by the Registrar's Office and the Examination Board. 

    Please send us your degree certificate and the Diploma Supplement.




  • Can I have subjects or entire modules from my first degree recognised?

    The crediting of courses or entire modules must be decided individually by our Examinations Office. We kindly ask you to get in touch with us. In addition to your university certificate, we require a module description of your first degree programme. The tuition fees remain unchanged for module credits.
