Procedure
Your application will first be formally checked: Have all documents been uploaded? Are the formal requirements met?
Once the formal check has been completed, the application is forwarded to the examination board of your degree program. The status of your application changes to "In progress".
In the next step, the examination board checks whether the content-related requirements for admission are also met and decides on the subject-related equivalence, the recognition of previous achievements and decides whether the application is admissible or should be rejected. In the case of admissibility, content-related conditions may also be imposed.
The examination board digitally reports the result back to the master's office.
If it is discovered during the procedure that documents are missing, the applicants will be informed of this by e-mail. The e-mail will state the deadline for submission.
Depending on the Master's program, it may take up to six weeks until you receive the result. Please refrain from making inquiries during this time.

Application FAQs
The Master's program in Business, Psychology and Management is designed for a standard duration of study of 3 semesters, with a total assessment of 90 credits. There are 30 credits to be made up during the master's degree if only 180 credits were earned in the bachelor's degree. It is possible that this will extend the study period by one semester.
There are no formal criteria for the letter of motivation regarding the number of pages, font or size. However, it should be clear from the letter of motivation what the motivation to study the Master's program in Business, Psychology and Management is.
For this purpose, the following contents should be presented on a maximum of three pages:
a) Presentation of one's own professional knowledge from previous studies as well as subject-related achievements or awards that have been made or conferred in addition to the undergraduate program and that are considered necessary for successful completion of the Master's program in Business, Psychology and Management.
b) Statement of professional goals and perspectives associated with the desire to enter the master's program in business, psychology, and management.
c) Specific justification for entering the master's program in business, psychology, and management that relates to the student's engagement with the content of the program and the courses offered. The rationale should make clear that applicants have engaged with the content of the program and have clear ideas about what to expect .
For the evaluation of the motivation letter, a maximum of 2 points will be awarded for the criteria mentioned under a). A maximum of 3 points will be awarded for each of the criteria listed under b) and c). One point will be awarded for correct spelling, fluency of expression and correct form. An additional point may be awarded for particularly original reasoning that demonstrates independent and critical thinking. The points achieved in each case are added together. Applicants who receive fewer than 6 points here are not suitable for study in the Master's program in Economics, Psychology and Management; applicants who receive 6 or more points are suitable.
The master's program is only offered in the winter semester. Admission for the summer semester is not possible.
With the application, 6 credits in Business Psychology and 16 credits in Statistics/Mathematics must be proven. If you cannot prove these credits by the time of application, admission to the Master's program is unfortunately not possible.
Please also refer to the information sheet on admission requirements posted on the program's homepage.
Degrees in psychology or economics-related courses other than those specified in the subject examination regulations are also admitted if their equivalence has been recognized by the examination board upon application. An application for equivalence can be made if it can be proven that at least 2/3 of the total credits earned in the first degree program were earned in courses in psychology and/or economics (including the required credits in statistics/mathematics). For recognition, the form "Application for Equivalency", which can be found on the homepage of the study program, must be completed and, if necessary, supplemented by further suitable evidence to be attached to the application.
Missing credits to prove the required knowledge in statistics/mathematics or business psychology cannot be made up in the course of the master's program and must already be available with the application.
For this reason, we recommend that those interested in the Master's program who have not yet completed their diploma or Bachelor's degree program to design freely selectable study content (e.g. focal points, elective modules, etc.) in such a way that they fit the requirement profile of the Master's program. If no courses on statistics/mathematics or business psychology are offered in one's own diploma or bachelor's degree program, these can be acquired in other study programs, depending on the regulations of one's own university.
