Application process
|
First semester |
Admission to the 1. semester of the master’s program is only possible for the winter semester. You can apply between April 15 and May 31. You have to submit all relevant documents during that period. |
|
Higher semester |
Admission to higher semesters is possible in each semester. Information about application deadlines can be found in the academic calendar. |
|
Students with a German degree |
Students with a first degree in Germany (Bachelor or equivalent) apply directly via the Freie Universität application portal. Please read all information concerning the application process and the documents to be uploaded here. |
|
Students with a Foreign degree |
Foreign prospective students who have not received their university degree in Germany have to request a VPD (preliminary review documentation) via uni-assist and once it is obtained, apply directly via the Freie Universität application portal. Please be aware that the processing time for the VPD might take up to 8 weeks. Thus, it is crucial to apply for the VPD long before the application period for our MA program ends. Application for the VPD is possible any time of the year. Here you can find an overview of the required documents needed for your application. Uni-assist is an administrative agency that will first check the sufficiency of your documents and then forward them to Freie Universität Berlin. Subject-specific entry requirements are not checked by uni-assist. The university itself decides whether to admit each candidate. |
