Requirements

Entry Requirements

Grade equivalencies vary depending on where you come from and there is no absolute cut-off.

Compared to the German rating system (where 1.0 is the best and 4.0 is the lowest grade), you should have an average of at least 2.0. All foreign grades will be evaluated according to this system. Please include the grading scale your university uses in your online application, if it is not entered using the German and ECTS scales. In order to give you an idea of what your chances are for admission to the program, the following rules of thumb can be applied:

In GPA-ratings (maximum grade 4.0, minimum grade to pass 2.0) you need at least an average of 3.0
In percentage-ratings (100% maximum, minimum grade to pass 40%), you need at least 70%
If your degree includes ratings like “first division”, “first division with distinction” etc., you should have at least earned one of the two best ratings.

English Program Requirements

Applicants seeking admission to our Master's degree programs must hold a B.A. in English/American Studies (rather than English Translation Studies, for example). Additionally, they must submit English language test scores (the latter does not apply to students with B.A. degrees obtained in the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa). Please note that English test scores are mandatory - even if your B.A. courses were all taught in English.
