Academic Admission

The entry requirement for the Master of Science in Economics programme is the completion of the Bachelor of Science in Economics programme at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich-Maximilians-Universität München or an equivalent qualification and the overall average grade of at least "good" (2.50). Applicants who have graduated with a degree in economics at another university can be admitted into the Master's programme as long as it can be established that this qualification, in terms of content and method, is equivalent to the Bachelor's degree in economics at LMU. A selection committee will determine whether the qualification can be established as being equivalent to a LMU Bachelor's degree in economics on the basis of the provided application documents. If the equivalence of the qualification is unclear (for example, a degree in business administration is not equivalent to our Bachelor's degree in economics) or the GPA is not better than 2.50, the applicant will receive an invitation to the admissions test, which only takes place in Munich. This written test examines whether the applicant's knowledge of microeconomics, macroeconomics, empirical economics, mathematics, and public economics is sufficient for the admission to the Master's programme.
