M.Sc. International Management

Proof of a successfully completed bachelor’s degree or Diplom programme...

... with the final cumulative grade of 2.5 (up to 2.59) or higher in the field of economics or a comparable degree programme with a distinct focus on economics. This economics focus must be substantiated by at least 50 % of the total number of credits earned on the respective programme.

Upon application, candidates who have earned their degree abroad can be admitted to the programme, provided that equivalence has been established.

The final cumulative grade required is not the threshold for restricted admission. It is the admission condition that must be met in order to participate in the application procedure.

This means that applications where the final cumulative grade is lower than 2.59 are ruled out/cannot be taken into consideration in the allocation of places.

2. Sufficient English language proficiency – Level B2 (CEFR)

Proof of sufficient proficiency in the English language can be provided, for example, by the following:

_Abitur_ certificate (see Foreign Languages, English, B2 CEFR)

• TOEFL (internet-based) with at least 72 points
• IELTS (Academic English, face-to-face format with speaking component): 5
• TOEIC: 400 (listening) and 385 (reading)

Proof of adequate knowledge of English can also be provided via other certificates on condition that English to Level B2 of the CEFR is indicated on the respective certificate.

Other language certificates or reference letters are not accepted. Semesters completed abroad are not a replacement for the language certificate.

Applicants are deemed to have acquired the necessary language skills if they have completed an English-taught degree programme (the Diploma Supplement serves as proof of language proficiency on condition that English is indicated as the language of instruction).

3. Applicants who have not earned their higher education entrance qualification...
