Admission from the University of Bayreuth for this course of study from a previous semester (and possibly a letter of requirements)

only to be uploaded by applicants who already got an admission letter from the UBT for the respective master's programme in a previous semester, but did not manage to start their studies

The University of Bayreuth follows the recommendation of the German Central Office for Foreign Education which has found that 3-year bachelor's degrees from India are not formally equivalent to 3-year bachelor's degrees from Germany. Therefore, they recommend to only accept students with four years of higher education from India for German master's programmes. If you are very ambitious about our master's programme, we would recommend to wait one more year and use this time to do a Postgraduate Diploma or to successfully complete 1 year of master's studies in an accredited institution of higher education in India, ideally in a programme related to food and health sciences.
