Academic Admission

This Master's programme is primarily aimed at those who have graduated from an undergraduate degree programme with a focus on communication studies. The formal admission requirements are a university degree in a communication studies or social science subject with a final grade of 2.5 or better under the German grading scale (or the relevant equivalent foreign grade); if you do not meet the final grade requirement, you may still be eligible for this programme if you have documentary proof that you graduated among the top 50% of your cohort. During your previous undergraduate degree, you must have gained at least 30 ECTS credits in communication studies and at least 30 ECTS credits in the field of social-scientific research methods. (Important note: one ECTS credit equates roughly to 30 hours of work, including independent study and attendance of lectures, seminars, etc.) Examples of courses or modules that would count towards these are: courses/modules in quantitative and/or qualitative research methods (e.g. surveys, content analysis, qualitative interviews, qualitative text analysis, experiments, observation); courses/modules from the field of statistics/data analysis; application of social-scientific methods in (student-led) research projects (e.g. in the context of seminars); and your Bachelor's dissertation.
