Less DetailsA bachelor's degree gives the right to continue education at the master's level. However, in this case, it must be borne in mind that the bachelor's program program in your homeland and in Germany cannot differ significantly. The decision on the equivalence of your bachelor's degree and compliance with the master's program is made by the selection committee. As a rule, our students can continue studying the same specialty without any problems. In some cases, additional subjects may be assigned to bridge the academic gap.
Almost all programs at the University of Hamburg are taught in German, with the exception of a few international master's programs. All German-language programs involve submission of an application 2 times a year for the winter (from June 1 to July 15) and for the summer semester (from December 1 to January 15). The exception is international master's programs for which application is possible once a year for the winter semester (from February 15 to March 31).
Some bachelor's programs require knowledge of other foreign languages besides German at a high level. If you cannot provide proof of knowledge of other languages, you will not be able to be admitted to certain programs. These programs include: Business administration (major); French (major, minor, and teaching subject); History (major, minor, and teaching subject in teacher training in secondary education); Gemeinsamer Studiengang Rechtswissenschaft (Hamburg / Istabul); Classical archeology (major); Classical philology (major and minor in Latin and Greek studies); Latin American studies (minor focusing on Hispanic America); Medieval studies (minor); Spanish (major, minor, and teaching subject); Business mathematics (major); Psychology (major and minor); Alevi religion (teaching subject for teacher training in primary and lower secondary education I); English (teaching subject for teacher training in primary and lower secondary education I); Protestant religion (teaching subject for teacher training in secondary education); Islamic religion (teaching subject in teacher training in primary and lower secondary education I); Greek (teaching subject in teacher training in secondary education); Latin (teaching subject in teacher training in secondary education); Turkish (teaching subject for all teacher training degrees).
