Admission requirements

  • Passed first professionally qualifying university degree
  • and proof of at least 210 credits
  • and mathematical-statistical basics amounting to at least 12 credits
  • and fundamentals in the field of mechanics amounting to at least 6 credits
  • and fundamentals of transportation science amounting to at least 12 credits
The Examination Board may grant admission on the condition that, prior to registering for the Master's thesis, missing knowledge is demonstrated by successfully completing certain Bachelor's modules from the Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering degree programs amounting to a maximum of 30 credits. This applies in particular to graduates of another university who have completed a six-semester degree.
The degree program is deliberately also open to participants who do not have a university degree in civil, environmental or traffic engineering (e.g. mathematics, computer science, spatial and urban planning, economics and law, geography). A first professionally qualifying university degree is therefore required as an entry requirement, but without specifying the subject. Instead, basic skills in mathematics, mechanics and transport sciences must be demonstrated, although these can also be acquired during the course.
In the event of a change of Master's degree course - e.g. from a Master's in Civil Engineering to a Master's in Mobility, Transport and Infrastructure - comparable academic achievements can be recognized.
Information for prospective students with a 6-semester Bachelor's degree
Graduates of a six-semester degree course can be admitted on condition that proof of 30 credits of modules to be determined by the examination board is provided before registering for the Master's thesis.

  1. 1.Application

    uni-assist

    • I inform myself about the application procedure on the uni-assist website:"Apply".

    As a prospective student (including Germans and EU citizens) with a school-leaving qualification from abroad, you must always apply via uni-assist. uni-assist is the German service center for international student applications.

    Uploading your documents to the uni-assist portal is the first step. The application is only complete when you subsequently transfer the application fee.

    The application procedure is completely online. Please do not send any documents to uni-assist by post.

    • I check the country information on the uni-assist website: Country information.
    • I read the uni-assist notes on sworn translations: Notarizations and translations.
    • I have my documents to be submitted translated into German or English.
    • I make digital copies of the original documents and certificates.

  3. 3.Application

  4. 4.Application

    Pro­ced­ure

    • I wait for the results of the uni-assist test and, if necessary, I will submit further documents.

    uni-assist checks whether you meet the formal requirements for admission to study at the University of Kassel. You will receive the result after about 4-6 weeks by e-mail and by post. If the formal requirements are met, your data will be forwarded to the University of Kassel.

    If you do not meet the formal requirements for admission, your documents will not be forwarded to the University of Kassel.

    Procedure when the documents are available at the University of Kassel

    The application will first be formally examined: Have all documents been submitted? Are the formal requirements met?

    Upon completion of the formal examination, the application is forwarded to the examination board of your chosen degree programme.

    In the next step, the examination board checks whether the substantive requirements for admission are also met. The examination board decides on the equivalence of the subject matter, the acknowledgement of previous performance, it decides on admission and rejection and, if necessary, imposes conditions regarding content.

    The examination board reports the result back to the Master's Office digitally.

    Should it be discovered in the course of the procedure that documents are missing, the applicants will be informed of this by email. The email will state the deadline for submission.

    Depending on the Master's programme, it may take up to six weeks before you receive the result. Please refrain from making any enquiries during this period.

  5. 5.Commitment

    • I receive a positive decision from the University of Kassel by e-mail. In this notification, I will receive all the important information on how I can proceed.
