C2

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in philosophy, economics, law or social science is required. If the bachelor program consisted of two subjects, 65 ECTS must have been acquired in one of the relevant subjects of the EELP program. Admission without a certified diploma is possible to avoid long waiting periods if all examinations are already completed.

not required

The application essay (maximum 6 pages) must be divided into two sections: 1) content-related essay (4-5 pages), 2) letter of motivation (1 page).

In the content-related essay is supposed to show that you can independently discuss one of the focus topics of the degree programme (globalisation and justice, market and morality, climate change and responsibility, welfare and dignity, migration and rights as well as digitalisation and self-determination). The essay serves to determine whether you have a special aptitude for the EELP program. Special attention is paid to whether you are able to develop your own problem in one of the focus topics of the program, whether you can take into account and connect normative and analytic-descriptive aspects, whether you are able to structure your own essay in an easily accessible format and to articulate the essay in a both generally comprehensible and academically adequate language, and whether generally accepted academic standards are observed. The arguments and analyses presented must be clearly substantiated by citing sources! There are no specifications regarding the format of the application essay.

In the letter of motivation, applicants should briefly and precisely explain why they would like to study the interdisciplinary MA programme EELP.
