For enrollment, you will need a certified copy of a completed degree program with a standard period of study of at least six semesters and a good academic record (overall grade or grade of the final thesis 2.5 or better) in a political science program.

In addition, for enrollment, you will need proof of at least 6 months of relevant professional experience or a 6-month relevant internship in a certified copy.

You can also be admitted with:

• a degree in another subject (grade 2.5 or better),
• the first state examination in law (grade "satisfactory" or better),
• the diploma in legal services (with at least 8 points).

However, these applicants must also submit three political science academic records (or exams) with an average grade of 2.5 or better, including one in basic methodological knowledge.

You can make up these three academic records by enrolling at the FernUniversität as an academy student and completing modules 1.2a, 2.1, and 3.3 from the Bachelor's degree in "Political and Administrative Sciences" (formerly "Politics and Organization") with an average grade of 2.5 or better, including an exam.

If you already have one or two political science academic records (or exams), the degree program committee will decide which of the above modules you need to complete additionally as an academy student. To do this, send a copy of your degree certificate and the existing academic records to: FernUniversität Hagen, PD Dr. Stephan Bröchler, LG Political Science V, 58084 Hagen or scanned to: Stephan.Broechler. Please note that this should be done at least four weeks before the enrollment deadline so that you can enroll after receiving a response.
