Prospective students who have obtained a first professionally qualifying university degree in educational science or a related subject can be admitted to the Master's degree course. Related subjects may include, for example, Sociology, Business Education and Management Training or Psychology, depending on the focus.

Admission can be granted to students who can demonstrate a particular aptitude for the Master's degree program. To this end, two academic achievements graded at least "good" must have been completed in two of the four areas relevant to the Master's degree program. Coursework includes, for example, project work, seminar papers, written presentations, written examinations and modules (partial module achievements if individual proof is available).

In the following table, we have compiled examples of possible course content for each area that can be completed in conjunction with coursework as proof of special aptitude.
Please check your coursework individually to see whether it can be assigned to two of the areas listed below. The table is only a selection of possible course content.

Ungraded coursework cannot generally be recognized as proof of special aptitude.

If you have already achieved 80% of the credit points required for a university degree, you can apply for the Master's degree program and will be included in the aptitude assessment procedure. Your university will issue you with a corresponding certificate. Please enclose the original or an officially certified copy with your application documents.
