According to Section 16 (2) of the Hessian Higher Education Act (HHG) in the version of December 14, 2009 (GVBl. I p. 666), applicants without a first university degree qualifying them for a profession can be admitted to a master's program that provides further education. The prerequisite is that they have a degree from a relevant vocational training program and at least four years of relevant professional experience. Vocational training and work experience must be related to the intended course of study.
Applicants must pass an aptitude test to prove that they have a level of knowledge equivalent to that of a first university degree (bachelor's degree or diploma) relevant to the intended course of study. Further information on lateral entry can be found on the pages of the Master's programs or you can contact us via e-mail.
