FAQ

Is it necessary to apply for the Master's degree programmes in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (EE&IT) as well as Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Business Management?

You do not need to apply for admission to the Master’s degree programme in EE&IT or the Master’s degree programme in Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Business Management. Neither of these degree programmes has restricted admission and therefore they require no application.  You can also find this information on the following Internet page:

 

If you didn't complete your Bachelor's degree at Kiel University, however, you must first undergo checks to ensure that you meet the prerequisites for admission to these Master's degree programmes. See:

 

How does the preliminary registration to the Master's degree programme work?

For preliminary registration to the Master's degree programme in your subject area, you must submit a Transcript of Records to Student Services. For preliminary registration, there must be no more than 30 ECTS credits not yet completed for your degree. For final admission, you must submit your degree certificate no later than 10 December if you registered for the Master's degree programme in the winter semester, or 10 June if you registered for the Master's degree programme in the summer semester.

What documentation is needed for checking the prerequisites and where must I submit them?

Graduates of other universities must first undergo checks to ensure that they meet the prerequisites for admission to these Master's degree programmes.

We will need the following documentation from you:

 

  1. Please submit a completed application for checking the prerequisites for "1-subject Master's degree programmes". You can find the appropriate form on the following Internet page (seventh bullet point):  Application for Master's degree programme
  2. Please also submit a certified copy of your Bachelor's degree certificate.
  3. In addition to your Bachelor's degree certificate, we will also need descriptions of the courses you completed (module descriptions), specifying the number of semester teaching hours per week and the credits obtained.


Once we have this documentation from you, we will forward it to the professor responsible for these courses. After examination of your documentation, we will inform you in writing of whether you will be admitted to the Master's degree programme and which modules, if any, you will need to attend as a prerequisite to entry or as a recommendation.

Please send your documentation for these checks for the Master’s degree programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (EE&IT) and for the Master’s degree programme in Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Business Management to the following address:

Servicezentrum
Technische Fakultät
Kaiserstraße 2
24143 Kiel


Please understand that processing your request will take some time.
 

When must I submit my application for checking the prerequisites by?

Please take the deadlines listed under point 2 on the following Internet page into consideration:

 

What comes next after checking the prerequisites?

As a result of the checks, you will receive your application for checking prerequisites back. You will find our comments on the application as to whether you will be admitted to the Master's degree programme or not (with or without additional requirements).
In the case of a positive decision, you can then register for the desired Master's degree programme as specified under point 4 in the following link.
