Applying for a master's degree program
The prerequisites and documents required for the master's programs may vary depending on the program.
The key requirement for entering a master's program is a university degree. Some master's programs may also have additional requirements for admission.
More information about the prerequisites, formalities, content, and examinations is provided in the respective program's examination policy.
Some master's programs are subject to limited enrollment. This means the program is restricted to a certain number of students and an allocation procedure is necessary when there are more applicants than student places available.
Check the overview of courses to learn whether the program you desire has open admissions or is one that is subject to the allocation procedure.
Dual enrollment
Under some circumstances, it is possible to sign up for a master's degree program before the end of the bachelor program. This procedure is called dual enrollment and is always restricted to just one transition semester. Contact the central office of examination affairs or the examination office in the department of mathematics to learn more about what prerequisites apply for your program.
