Additionally, you have to state the missing courses and the expected bachelor grade. If you are accepted to the programme, you have to prove that you finished the bachelor till the end of your first master semester with the expected grad (or better). If your grade is worse, you might be exmatriculated since the expected grade is used in the admission process.

A self-assessment for fullfiling the requirements for the master’s programme is an obligatory part of your application documentation.

You have to list the courses and the corresponding number of ECTS which are necessary for fulfilling the master’s programmes requirements. The Admissions Committee will then decide about crediting the courses. It is not possible to give information on specific courses beforehand.
