📝 How to Apply
Check entry requirements for international applicants
Confirm that you hold a completed Bachelor’s degree in Economics or a Bachelor’s degree with at least 60 ECTS in economics modules, and that your qualification is eligible for admission under Section 10 BerlHG. Review the English language proof requirement (English B2 CEFR) for English-taught modules, and prepare German language proof only if you plan to take German-taught modules. Start gathering your documents early so you can submit within the published intake timeline.
Prepare your application documents
Collect your passport and all academic documents needed to prove your degree and study history, including transcripts and the degree certificate(s). Make sure your English language proof matches BSP’s English B2 CEFR requirement for English-taught courses. If your background includes only part of economics or you are unsure whether the 60 ECTS economics module requirement is met, confirm this using your transcript records before you submit.
Submit your application during the admissions window
Submit your application in time for the relevant semester intake. For this programme, the published application deadlines for the winter semester indicate that applications are possible at any time for Germans and inhabitants, and you should follow BSP’s instructions for international applicants on when and how to apply. After submission, monitor your application status and respond quickly to any requests for additional documents.
