M.Sc. Climate, Earth, Water, Sustainability

Proof of a bachelor’s degree or equivalent first degree from a higher education institution by submitting your certificate of completion and your diploma. If applicable, also submit your diploma supplement.

If your diploma does not show proof of our subject-specific academic admission requirements, please submit a confirmation of your modules completed and credit points acquired (e.g. module performance overview, transcript of records) in addition to your certificate of completion and your diploma.

For an application without a formally completed degree, the following minimum number of credit points must be documented at the time of application with a current transcript of records or confirmation issued by the institution of higher education regarding the current total number of credit points up to that point:

at least 140 credit points for bachelor’s degree programs with a total of 180 credit points

at least 170 credit points for bachelor’s degree programs with a total of 210 credit points

at least 200 credit points for bachelor’s degree programs with a total of 240 credit points

2. Evidence of the content and structure of your academic training. This can be, for example, module catalogs, study and examination regulations or a syllabus.

3. If applicable, preliminary review documentation (Vorprüfungsdokumentation) by uni-assist e.V.

If you are submitting an academic degree or academic records from a higher education institution abroad, you must also upload a document on the evaluation of the degree as an entrance qualification for master’s studies (preliminary review documentation – Vorprüfungsdokumentation or VPD) via the admission and enrollment portal. Please refer to the following website for information on how to apply for a VPD.

Applying for a VPD does not count as an application for the degree program. Be sure to allow enough time to apply for a VPD; the average processing time at uni-assist is 4 to 6 weeks.

The VPD must be submitted via the admission and enrollment portal by the application deadline.

If you would like to apply with a degree from a recognized institution of higher education in the People's Republic of China, Vietnam and India, you must also submit the relevant APS certificate with your application documents in addition to the VPD.

A complete and up-to-date CV in tabular format from the 16th year of your life which includes all periods you were enrolled at an institution of higher education. That includes ongoing, interrupted and formally completed study periods.

7. If applicable, evidence of the change of names by presenting a copy of the offical certificate about the name change (for example marriage certificate).
