If you have already studied Psychology in a Master's degree program at another university or have completed relevant coursework and examinations in another degree program and would like to transfer to the University of Kassel, you can find out how to transfer here. Please note that even if you meet the relevant requirements, you can only be admitted if there is a free place on the course.

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

2nd semester

  1. Clinical Psychology*
  2. Research Methods*
  3. a total of at least 20 credits in modules comparable to those at the University of Kassel (not the practical module)

3rd semester

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

 

*Your course content must be comparable to that of Kassel. In addition, you must not have lost the right to take examinations in psychology.

The procedure consists of two steps:

  1. Online application to the University of Kassel
    and at the same time
  2. Submit an application for placement in the higher semester to the Student Advisory Service using the forms listed below.
  3. In the event that your application for the winter semester is rejected, you can apply for the first semester at the same time. Unfortunately, this is not possible for the summer semester.

The deadline for applications (point 2) ends on 15.01. for the summer semester and 15.07. for the winter semester. 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 will find the current examination regulations (+ module handbook) for the M.Sc. Psychology at 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 submit to the Student Advisory Service. Please note your desired semester of study.

Proof of level B2 is required for application to uni-assist. However, the DSH2 exam result is required for enrollment. Possibilities of proof

Verification options

2nd application step:

Application for placement in the higher semester using the above-mentioned forms (certificates of achievement missing by the deadline can be submitted after the deadline).
In some states, there are no module handbooks or content descriptions of the modules. In this case, it is unfortunately not possible to classify students. It is therefore impossible to enter a higher semester.
