Supplementary examinations (in the admission letter of master programmes)
The admission to a master programme can be granted in connection with certain supplementary examinations ("Ergänzungsprüfungen"). If your post-secondary degree of at least three years is not eligible, supplementary examinations of up to 30 ECTS are specified in your admission letter. These "subject-specific" supplementary examinations may include several courses, which must be additionally taken, at best in the beginning of your master programme.
Example:
Laura has sucessfully completed the bachelor programme Economics and would like to study the master programme Statistics. She has received a letter of admission in which the following supplementary examinations are prescribed:
VO and UE „Höhere Analysis“ of 10 ECTS
She can be admitted to the master programme, but she must additionally complete the course and exercise "Höhere Analysis" during (at best in the beginning) of her studies.
