Applicants who have already completed a course of study at a German university (e.g. with a diploma, bachelor's or master's degree) by the end of the application deadline, and now a Second Bachelor's or Master's degree If you would like to join, you are generally considered to be a second study applicant. By contrast, a master’s degree based on a bachelor’s degree is not a second degree, but a so-called ‘consecutive study’.

In admission-restricted degree programmes, applicants for second degree programmes have 3% of the available study places of a course of study available. These places are not awarded according to average grade and waiting time, as is usually the case, but on the basis of a measurement number. This measurement number is formed from the examination result of the first degree and for the reasons for the second degree.

If you want to apply for a second degree, lead the Online application Please upload the following documents:

• A copy of the Certificate of Completion and the deed your first degree or preliminary result of the degree,
• a detailed written justification for your second degree with information about your previous education and professional activity as well as the desired professional goal; This statement of reasons should finally include all aspects that are relevant to your second degree.

Admission to Secondary Studies

The study places are awarded according to a score (measurement number), which is formed from the examination result of the first study and the reasons for the second study. In addition, the same formal admission requirements apply to second-degree applicants as to first-degree applicants.

Final grade of the first degree

The following scores are given for the examination result of the completed first degree:

• Grades ‘excellent’ and ‘very good’ 4 points
• Grades ‘good’ and fully ‘satisfactory’ 3 points
• Score "satisfactory" 2 points
• Score "sufficient" 1 point
• Score "not proven" 1 point

The grade with which you completed your first degree must be documented in the diploma or in a certificate issued by the body responsible for issuing the diploma or you must also attach certificates from the examination office (result notifications from the examination office) to the application for admission. Otherwise, the worst performance level must be taken as a basis.

Weighting of the reasons for the second degree

• Compulsory professional reasons 9 points
• Scientific reasons 7 to 11 points
• Special professional reasons 7 points
• Other professional reasons 4 points
• Other reasons 1 point

Details on the reasons for a second degree can be found in the guidelines of the Foundation for Higher Education Admission. If you want to re-integrate or re-enter professional life after a family phase, you can receive a supplement of up to 2 points when applying for a second degree. The increase can be considered if, for family reasons (e.g. marriage, child-rearing), the previous professional activity had to be abandoned or, in view of family concerns, the beginning of an adequate professional activity had to be waived after completion of the first degree. The amount of the point surcharge depends on the degree of concern. The extent of the burden (e.g. number of children, duration of the family phase) must be adequately taken into account. There is no cumulation of several reasons; the most favourable case group shall be used. The point surcharge for applicants who have previously postponed their second study programme for family reasons is independent of this; It is additionally granted.

selection

The points for your first degree and for your justification are added to a measurement number. The measurement number is decisive for your ranking on the ranking list of second study applicants. Applicants with a higher number of measurements take precedence over applicants with a lower number of measurements. The rankings between applicants with the same number of measurements are determined with the help of so-called subordinate criteria. First of all, those who have performed a service in full. Then the lot decides. Thus, there is a clear ranking on each ranking list among the second degree applicants who apply for the same degree programme. In this order, it is selected until all study places available for the respective ranking list have been exhausted.

The application

The application is made online via the application portal unisono.

The dates

The same application deadlines apply as for first-year applicants.
