In the Master's program European Economic Studies (EES), an application is necessary. Admission to the Master's program EES requires a university degree or an equivalent national or international degree with an overall grade of at least "good" (German grade of 2.5 or better). The degree must be in a social, economics or natural science subject area or in mathematics.
The qualifying degree must contain a total of at least 18 ECTS credits from the fields of economics, mathematics or statistical methods (e.g. 12 ECTS credits in economics and 6 ECTS credits in mathematical methods).
English language skills at the B2 level must be demonstrated (e.g. IELTS 6.5, TOEFL min. 80 iBT, Cambridge FCE or TELC B2).
German language skills, on the other hand, do not have to be proven, but are of course an advantage for life in Bamberg/Germany.
If you do not have all the required documents at the time of application, you may be admitted on the condition that you submit missing documents, such as the bachelor's degree certificate, during the first master's semester. If missing documents are not submitted on time or a degree with an overall grade of 2.5 or better cannot be proven, the study program cannot be continued!
All information about the application process can be found on the pages of the office of the registrar.
Please also note the following information:
- The master's program EES is an economics program. Therefore, prior knowledge especially in the fields of economics, statistics/econometrics and mathematics is recommended.
- The Master's program EES is an English language programme. However, some courses of other institutes in the elective area "Specialisation" are offered in German.
