Entry Requirements

1. An Initial Qualifying University Degree

Individuals who have never completed university studies before cannot begin with Master's studies. Furthermore, most of the Master courses of study at RWTH Aachen are consecutive. This means that the Bachelor degree provides the subject background and preparation for the Master. Thus, it is not possible to have completed a Bachelor in philosophy but then pursue a Master is mechanical engineering.

2. Complete Application On Time

An important prerequisite for a successful application is that all application documents are completed and submitted by the deadline. You can refer to the webpages about the application process to find out what documents you need to apply.

Participation in an English-language academic program in one of the countries listed above does not substitute the language test. Certificates and test results from other tests are not accepted either.
