Admission requirements
In order to be accepted into the programme, you must have obtained a first university degree that qualifies for a profession; a degree or a qualification in the field of chemistry, life sciences or environmental engineering from a university or state/state-approved university of cooperative education that is recognised in Germany; a degree or qualification with a focus on the life sciences, environment or biology/ecology.
Proficiency of English at the B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is required. For applicants whose native language is not English, or whose language skills cannot be proven through a school-leaving certificate, this level must be verified with by presenting a certificate for a completed language test, such as the internet-based TOEFL test, the paper-based TOEFL test, the computer-based TOEFL test, or the IELTS test.
German language requirements
International applicants and German applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification are kindly advised to read the requirements for German-language courses.
Application hints and tips
If, at the time of application, proof of the first degree qualifying the applicant for a profession is not yet available, the application will be considered under the precondition that 80% of the credit points attainable for the degree have already been achieved based on completed module examinations or the final thesis and the colloquium (if applicable). A certification from the awarding institute of higher education (examination office) serves as proof of the above-mentioned academic achievements. You can find the appropriate form on the Admissions Office website.
