What is a master's degree?
A Master’s degree is an advanced academic qualification that builds on a Bachelor’s degree, allowing for specialisation and in-depth expertise in a particular field. The programme typically lasts two to four semesters and concludes with a Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.Sc.), or another specialised qualification. A Master’s degree prepares graduates for higher-level positions, research careers, or a PhD.
How is a master’s degree structured?
A Master’s degree begins with a specialisation phase, expanding on Bachelor-level knowledge and allowing students to develop advanced skills. Students complete core modules in their field, often supplemented by interdisciplinary or research-oriented content. Depending on the programme, practical projects, case studies, or internships may be included.
Courses include seminars, group work, and independent research. In the final semester, students write a Master’s thesis, which involves independent academic research. Graduates receive their Master’s degree upon successful completion, enabling access to high-level positions or doctoral studies.

Can I Enrol in a Master’s programme with a non-business bachelor's degree?

Interdisciplinary programmes such as M.A. Pedagogy & Adult Education or M.Sc. Sustainability Management allow graduates from diverse fields to transition into new areas. For specific entry requirements, our admissions team is happy to advise you.
What salary can I expect after completing a Master’s degree?

In Germany, average starting salaries for Master’s graduates range from €45,000 to €60,000 per year, with business and technical fields offering higher salaries than creative or social industries. With growing work experience, earning potential significantly increases.
