The master's degree in business administration has been accredited by FIBAA according to the rules of the German Accreditation Council.
What you study
The master's program comprises 120 ECTS credits. Students choose a specialization in one of the three areas Finance & Information, Operations & Information Management and Strategy & Information. This represents the major of the study. By this decision the students determine the professional field, for which they acquire well-founded knowledge. In addition to their major, students choose a minor and take five modules out of this. The Minor offers five areas (General Management & Economics, Finance & Information, Operations & Information Management, Strategy & Information and Economics). The students choose a minor, which must be different to the chosen major. The Minor General Management & Economics encompasses all modules of the Master's program in Business Administration. Furthermore, the training provides skills on how to apply advanced methods of business administration. The master thesis concludes the studies.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to B2 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
