A prerequisite for transferring is also that a free place is available in the respective subject semester (so there is no guarantee of a place even if you meet the subject criteria). Below you will find the wartriencies for the respective subject semester, submission instructions, deadlines, and the necessary forms.

In order to transfer to the University of Kassel in the 2nd semester, in addition to proof of enrollment in a professionally recognized clinical master's program (according to PsychThG 2020), you must also prove a total of at least 20 ECTS in modules that are also offered in the M.Sc.
