All applicants, who wish to apply for a degree program at a German university with a Chinese, Vietnamese or Indian school or university degree need a certificate from the Academic Evaluation Center (Akademische Prüfstelle, APS) (opens in a new tab).

We follow a two-stage assessment procedure to be able to select the best possible candidates for the Master in Management. In the first stage of the assessment procedure, candidates are evaluated based on their previous academic qualification (see “Entrance requirements”), their grade point average, an essay, and the result of a valid GMAT certificate (optional). If an applicant’s eligibility is still questionable after stage 1, the applicant will move on to stage 2, where the academic background as well as the essay will be evaluated.

We expect a high standard of scientific work from our applicants. Therefore, independently of the result in stage one, all essays will be checked to see if they comply with these standards. Applicants who do not meet them, as in cases of plagiarism or the use of AI (e.g., Chat GPT, DeepL, Grammarly, etc) evidenced in the essay, will be excluded from the process. Essays are evaluated on the applicant's original work and the use of manual skills. We do not allow the use of AI technologies for idea creation, structuring, editing, or assignment completi
