Academic Admission

Applicants must hold a Bachelor's (BSc) degree in biology, ecology, environmental sciences, oceanography or a closely related discipline with an overall grade of at least 2.5 according to the German grading scheme , in which 1.0 equals "excellent", 2.0 "good", 3.0 "satisfactory", 4.0 "sufficient", and 5.0 "fail". Grades from international applicants will be converted to the German grading scheme by the university administration. Applications may (and should) already be submitted before the previous study degree (i.e., usually BSc) has been finished, if at least 135 ECTS have been obtained, equivalent to the work load of 4.5 semesters . In those cases, admission can be granted on the condition that the previous degree will be successfully finished by the start of the programme . Your application must include a curriculum vitae, letter of motivation in English language , transcript of study records of your BSc studies indicating the curriculum, study efforts (ECTS or hours of study) and grades, proof of sufficient English language skills, and any additional documents of relevant qualifications, such as internships or academic awards. You must upload all requested documents as PDF files. Do not send any application documents by mail! Only those candidates who are actually admitted to the study programme will have to submit hard copies of their application package at a later stage. They will be asked explicitly to do so by the Secretariat for Students International (SfS-I). Please address all queries regarding the formal application procedure to SfS-I (e-mail: master@uni-bremen.de ). The selection board will meet in May (or early June) and evaluate all applications according to the following criteria: overall grade of the previous degree (40%), individual academic and non-academic qualifications relevant to the scope of marine biology (40%), and Letter of Motivation (20%). If there are more applicants than vacant study places, applicants will be admitted according to their rank in the evaluation.
