Prerequisite: The EES master’s degree programme features open admission, but you have to apply. Admission to the EES master's programme can be obtained both by graduates of the Bamberg EES bachelor's programme and by internal and external students who have completed another (domestic or foreign) degree programme in economics, the social or natural sciences, or mathematics. Beginning in the 2015/16 winter semester, applicants must verify a final mark of the German 2,5 or better!
Unfortunately, it is not possible to apply without a final marksheet. The application period for the summer semester will start in the middle of november 2020. I would recommend, that you apply then, with a final mark sheet and a provisional degree certificate.
especially in the areas of economics, statistics/econometrics and mathematics – is strongly recommended.
