In the case of a degree obtained abroad, sufficient command of the German language must be demonstrated.

Is it possible to apply before completing my Bachelor's degree? 
You can apply if you have at least 90% of the Bachelor's ECTS. Submit your current transcript of records; you can submit your Bachelor's certificate by the end of the first Master's semester at the latest.

Do you have a Bachelor's degree with 180 ECTS?
The 3-semester Master's programme requires a suitable Bachelor's degree with 210 ECTS. If you are missing up to 30 ECTS, you can make up for this in a bridging semester at our faculty.

Frequently asked questions about the bridging semester

• By when do I have to make up the 30 ECTS? According to the admission regulations, the missing ECTS should be acquired within a bridging semester. If this is not possible in the foreseeable future, please contact the head of degree programme in good time.
• Which modules are available? You may only take modules that were not part of your Bachelor's degree programme. Enrolment is limited to one semester on the Bachelor's degree programme in Industrial Engineering and Management Energy/Environment. If you have already completed individual proposed modules during your Bachelor's degree programme, these can be replaced by alternative modules. In this case, the programme director will be happy to advise you individually and show you suitable alternatives.
• Can modules be acquired externally? Yes, credits can also be earned at other Ostfalia faculties or external colleges/universities and recognised if necessary. A module extract must be submitted for credit transfer.
