Degrees

Master's Degree

The regular degree to be obtained after the successful completion of the DSE program is the Master of Science (M.Sc.). It will be awarded after the candidate has achieved 120 credits in this two-year program. These 120 credits will be awarded as follows:

• 32 credits for mandatory modules
• 45 credits for electives (incl. 3 credits for language courses)
• 13 credits for the mandatory internship, and
• 30 credits for the Master's thesis.

Please use our documents section, where you will find study and examination regulations as well as general information.

Double Degree Program

DSE students also have the possibility to earn credits for their Master's degree at a variety of other universities. For some of these universities, DSE students have the option to earn a double degree (M.Sc.). For such a double degree, a student generally has to earn 60 credits at each university. A double degree requires a study plan that is approved by a joint commission of the cooperating universities. So, usually you cannot simply apply for the DSE Double Degree Program in general, as you have to be enrolled in a master's program at one of our partner universities already. Alternatively, if you are a DSE student already, you can apply for a Double Degree Program at one of our partner universities.
