Q: Do I need to choose a theme for my Master thesis now or will I do it after entering the university?
A: In principal, this is not required since the theme for your Master’s Thesis should be worked out in close cooperation with the companies that cooperate with you during your project work. You are invited to propose a project and a company that would work on that project within your studies.
Q: Is the placement examination system one of the requirements? Do I need to pass it? And how will I do that: come to Germany or on-line?
A: The selection process is one of our requirements. Our preferred approach is to have our future students come to Germany for an interview. Of course, we do understand that this is not possible in every case. If you cannot manage to come to Germany, we will accept a motivation letter together with a phone conversation as a substitute.
Q: Is it necessary to have work experience?
A: Work experience is not a prerequisite. What you will need is an academic profile that suits our needs.

A: Since the entire degree is held in English, German language skills are not required. If you wish to improve your German language skills, we offer additional language classes free of charge.
Q: How do I have to submit my documents?
A: We accept documents sent by email. Please bring along certified and translated originals to the university for inspection before beginning of courses.
Q: Does it matter in which field I have obtained my Bachelor’s Degree?
A: It is an advantage to have received a degree in a subject related to business administration or economics, yet this is not necessary.
Q: Will practical work experience shorten the time to my Master’s Degree in any way?
A: For now, we cannot accept any experience besides coursework from academic degrees.
