Admission requirements
You can be admitted to the master's distance learning programme if you have completed a first university degree (at least six theory semesters) with a final grade of 2.5 or better at a university of applied sciences, university, or equivalent institution. In case of a final grade below 2.5, an individual assessment will be carried out.
To reach the master's level, 300 ECTS points are required, taking into account the first university degree. Since you will earn 90 ECTS credits in the MBA programme, the first university degree should have a workload of 210 ECTS credits. Applicants with less than 210 ECTS credits have various options to acquire the missing ECTS credits during the MBA programme.
In addition, you need one year of work experience after completing your studies.
If you do not have a first university degree, you have the option of being admitted to the programme through an aptitude test. Admission to the aptitude test requires a university entrance qualification according to state law (university entrance qualification, technical college entrance qualification, qualified vocational qualification with an overall grade of max. 2.5, or master's degree or equivalent master's degree) as well as at least three years of relevant professional experience that demonstrates sufficient thematic relevance to the chosen course of study.
