Waiting semesters are calculated from the number of semesters that have elapsed since you obtained your higher education entrance qualification and that you have not studied.

Consecutive degree programs are Bachelor's and Master's degree programs that build on each other.

Further Education Master's degree programs require qualified practical professional experience of generally no less than one year after a first professionally qualifying university degree.

The content of the continuing education Master's degree program should take professional experience into account and build on it. When designing a Master's degree program providing further education, the university shall demonstrate the connection between the professional qualification and the Study Programmes. Further Education Master's degree courses correspond to the requirements of consecutive Master's degree courses and lead to the same level of qualification and the same entitlements.

With the successful completion of a first professionally qualifying degree (Studies, Bachelor or Master), you have laid the appropriate foundation for a Master's degree program. Further requirements are defined in the respective admission regulations.

As a rule, Bachelor's or Diplom degrees with a corresponding subject area and a corresponding entrance grade are mandatory prerequisites for the respective Master's degree programs. If applicable, the respective admission regulations may stipulate further requirements or certificates.
