Academic Admission

Applicants must submit a work sample from their previous studies (e.g., an essay or the BA thesis), in order to prove the relatedness of their qualification to at least one of the five core fields of "World Studies" in order to allow the selection committee a better appreciation of their skills. If the BA diploma has not yet been received, other documents showing the content of the respective study course should be submitted. Examples of this include a transcript of records, diploma supplement, etc. or any document showing that the applicant is qualified for the Master's programme.
