BSc: High school diploma/school leaving certificate (qualification for entrance to German universities).

MSc: Bachelor's degree or equivalent from a recognised university or college. Must consist of 180 ECTS for the standard track or 210 ECTS for the fast track and part-time track. No interview.

We do require a degree in business or economics, but if the undergraduate degree includes a sufficient number of business courses (at least four), we will consider other analytical fields such as industrial engineering, business informatics, and mathematics. There are different ways to make up for missing business courses. They also need to have some quantitative background.

Applicants for fast track and part time transfer must have completed at least one academic semester abroad during their previous university studies. It is equally possible to do an internship abroad that is officially part of the degree program.
