You can apply to transfer to a higher semester if you are currently studying psychology in a Master's degree course with a clinical focus that is recognized under the PsychThG and PsychThApprO of 2020. Another prerequisite for a change is that there is a free place available in the respective semester (i.e. there is no guarantee of a place even if you meet the subject-specific criteria). Below you will find the criteria for the respective semester, information on submission, deadlines and the necessary forms.

To transfer to the University of Kassel in the 2nd semester, in addition to proof of enrolment in a professionally recognized clinical Master's degree program (according to PsychThG 2020), you must also provide proof of a total of at least 20 ECTS in modules that are also offered in the M.Sc. Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at the University of Kassel

Procedure

The procedure consists of two steps:

    and at the same time
  2. Application for recognition of the examination performance using the forms listed below at the Psychology Examination Office
    (any performance records missing by the deadline can be submitted after the deadline until 28.02./31.08.).
  3. In the event that your application for the winter semester is rejected, you can apply for the 1st semester at the same time. Unfortunately, this is not possible for the summer semester.

The application deadline (point 2) for the summer semester ends on 15.01. and for the winter semester on 15.07. It can take up to two months to process the documents. The letter of recognition will be sent to you and to the Registrar's Office. It is not necessary for you to send it in.

Please read all information carefully and submit all relevant documents. Only complete applications can be considered.

Forms and examination regulations

An application via uni-assist is necessary if you have a foreign higher education entrance qualification (equivalent to the Abitur) or a foreign Bachelor's degree.
You will receive a letter of recognition from uni-assist, which you submit to the Student Administration Office. Please note your desired semester of study.

Language certificates

German:
Proof of level B2 is required for the application to uni-assist. However, the DSH2 examination result is required for enrolment .
English:

Proof of language level B1 is required for the Bachelor's degree program.
Proof of language level B2 is required for the Master's degree program.

2nd application step:

Application for recognition of examination performance using the forms mentioned above (proof of performance missing by the deadline can be submitted after the deadline).
In some countries there are no module handbooks or content descriptions of the modules. In this case, unfortunately, no classification can be made. It is therefore impossible to enter a higher semester.
