Admission to Business Education I

Your Master’s degree is considered consecutive if it builds on a successful completion of a Bachelor’s degree in the same discipline. The total amount of credits required to complete both degrees must be at least 270 ECTS credits.

Your degree programme will be recognised if the following criteria are fulfilled:

• Your degree was awarded by a university, which is recognised in the country where you attended the course.
• You have completed all course work at a recognised or accredited university.
• You have completed at least half of the course credits onsite at the university awarding the degree.
• You fulfil the minimum requirements for admission to the Master's degree programme at your home university.
