Access requirements

  • The consecutive Master's degree program in Social Work requires a first university degree qualifying for a profession in the field of Social Work (Bachelor of Arts; Diplom) from a university in the Federal Republic of Germany or such a degree from a foreign university, for which 210 ECTS points must be proven as a rule.
  • Applicants who have a degree mentioned in the first indent, but who have earned less than 210 ECTS points for this degree, may be admitted to the program. In this case, the examination board will check whether the applicants have equivalent competences. Missing competences can be compensated for by crediting university or non-university achievements.
  • In accordance with the provisions of the General Examination Regulations (§2, Para. 3), applicants who do not yet have an undergraduate degree but can guarantee that they will obtain the degree within one semester after enrolling in the program 'Social Work, Master of Arts' may also be admitted (the number of outstanding credits may not exceed 30 ECTS credits). In this case, applicants* must prove at the time of application that they have already registered the final thesis of the undergraduate degree program.
  • The application procedure for the Master's program in Social Work (M.A.) has been administratively simplified for the summer semester 2020. By lifting the admission restriction, it is possible that applicants who meet the admission requirements and submit all application documents in full and on time will be enrolled directly in the program.
