Admission to the program is open to those who

If you cannot provide full proof of the required examinations or if you have a Bachelor's degree with fewer than 210 ECTS, you can make up the missing credits.

If the required minimum grade of 2.5 was not achieved in the first degree course, it is possible to take an aptitude test and gain admission to the Master's degree course via this route - provided the minimum content requirements of the Bachelor's degree course are met.

As some of the courses are held in English, English language skills at level B2 are recommended.

If you have not yet completed your studies, only a maximum of 30 ECTS may still be open at the application deadline. Further information can be foundat here.

A further admisson requirements for admission to the dual study program is a qualification contract between the applicant and the cooperating company for the duration of the standard period of study. The contract must be submitted to the university no later than six weeks after the start of lectures.

Before starting the Master's degree program, you should take advantage of a study consultation, especially if you have not previously completed the Health Economics degree program in the GiP practice network at the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society. The course of study, e.g. the preliminary semester to be completed, will also be discussed during the consultation.
