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. 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 application deadline (point 2) for the summer semester ends 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 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 should 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:

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.

Possibilities of proof

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.
