How does the admission process work?

1. You submit your application either directly to Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin or via uni-assist.

a) Direct application at HU: Once you have completed your application, the central admissions office of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin will review the non-subject-specific parts of your application (language proficiency, bachelor’s grade, etc.).

b) Application via uni-assist (International Applicants): Your application data will be transferred to the HU system within four weeks after the application deadline. Once your data has been transferred, the central admissions office of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin will review the non-subject-specific parts of your application (language proficiency, bachelor’s grade, etc.).

2. Afterwards, the admissions committee of the Master’s program will review the subject-specific parts of your application over the following three weeks (at least 30 ECTS credits, and how many additional ECTS credits you can present for ranking purposes, etc.).
If your “Abschluss in einem Studiengang mit quantitativer Ausrichtung” is no longer marked as “not yet reviewed” it means that a member of the admissions committee has taken an initial look at your documents.

3. The results of the evaluation will be entered into the online application system, and the application will be returned to the central admissions office of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. If you have questions about your results, please contact: mscstatistics@lists.hu-berlin.de.

4. Official admission or rejection letters can only be sent once all applications have been reviewed, as a ranking of all applicants must be compiled.

The time between the end of the application deadline and the issuance of admission letters depends on the number of applications that the central admissions office of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the admissions committee of the Master’s program need to process.
