If you have already studied psychology in a master's program at another university or have completed relevant coursework and examinations in another program and would like to transfer to the University of Kassel, you can find out here how a change of university is possible. Please note, even if you meet the relevant requirements, admission can only be granted if there is also a free study place.

In addition to the basic requirement of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, you will find here further requirements for admission to the respective semesters of the Master of Psychology (PO2020) at the University of Kassel in the course of a university transfer from a comparable program (successful completion of the respective modules):

2nd semester                                                       

  1. Clinical Psychology*
  2. Research Methods*
  3. in total at least 20 credits in - with the University of Kassel - comparable modules (not the professional internship module)

3rd semester

 

  1. Clinical Psychology*
  2. Research Methods*
  3. a total of at least 50 credits in modules comparable to those of the University of Kassel (not including the professional internship module).
4th semester
  1. Clinical Psychology*
  2. Research Methods*
  3. a total of at least 80 credits in modules comparable to those of the University of Kassel (not including the professional internship module).

 

*Your study content must be comparable to Kassel's content. In addition, you must not have lost your examination entitlement in psychology.

The procedure consists of two steps:

  1. Online application to the University of Kassel
    and at the same time
  2. Application for placement in the higher semester using the forms listed below at the Psychology Examination Office
  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 deadline for submitting applications (point 2) ends for the summer semester on 15.01. and for the winter semester on 15.07. Any certificates of achievement missing by the deadline can be submitted after the deadline until 28.02. (winter semester)/31.08. (summer semester). 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.

Here you can find the current examination regulations (+Modulhandbuch) for the M.Sc. Psychology of the University of Kassel for comparison

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 should submit to us at Studiensekretariat . Please note your desired semester of study.

Language certificates 

German: 
To apply to uni-assist, you must provide proof of level B2. However, the DSH2 exam result is required for enrolment. Proof options
English:

For the Bachelor's program, proof of language level B1 is required.
Proof of language level B2 should be provided for the Master's program.

Verification options

2nd application step:

Application for placement in the higher semester 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 module content descriptions. In this case, it is unfortunately not possible to classify students. It is therefore impossible to enter a higher semester.
