📝 How to Apply
Apply for admission to the Master program
Submit your application using the university’s official application process during the active admission period. Prepare your prior qualification documents (first degree in Psychology) and the required English proof you will use for admission. If your required study credits are not fully met, the university indicates that bridging courses (Brückenkurse) can be used via decisions by the program leadership. Keep your documents ready for review as part of the admissions decision.
Provide required enrollment documents
For enrollment/immatriculation, the university lists several mandatory documents that you must provide. These include a complete CV (tabular and gapless) and a digital photo, sent by email, plus documents related to your first degree and your enrollment prerequisites. The university also requires an electronic notification of your insured status from your health insurance before enrollment. Follow the document instructions exactly to avoid delays.
Complete any required credit bridging (if applicable)
If required credits are missing, the university states that relevant content areas can be made up through bridging courses, decided and defined by the program leadership. In this case, admission can be subject to conditions allowing the missing areas to be completed after the start. Plan extra time to collect the information needed for the bridging decision and make sure your motivation aligns with the program requirements.
