The Master's degree in Chemical and Bioengineering (CBI) builds on a Bachelor's degree that is related in terms of content.
There are a few requirements for the CBI master’s degree. These are compiled in the FPO in §41 . In short, the following applies: Qualification for a master's degree is proven by completing a degree in chemical and bioengineering with above-average success (2.5) or if at least 4 of the core subjects (see FPO) with an average module grade of 3.0 or better. Applicants with a degree that is not fully equivalent and/or with a final grade of less than 2.5 can only be admitted to the master’s program on the basis of passing an oral entrance examination. In addition, proof of German and English language proficiency at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference must be submitted. The Master's Admissions Committee decides on suitability for the Master's degree.
Foreign students are encouraged to attend holiday German courses and German courses during the semester because a significant proportion of the courses are held in German. Proof of German (and English) language proficiency at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference is therefore required for the application. The Admissions Committee only accepts language certificates according to this table . (CET 4 and 6 certificates are not recognized)
A basic requirement for admission to a Master's degree program is a good Bachelor's degree in a relevant subject (minimum grade 2.5). In exceptional cases, applicants with a grade of > 2.5 may still be admitted on the basis of selection interviews, letters of motivation or similar (see 5.). In all cases, the degree must be of equivalent content and quality. For consecutive Master's degrees, the content of the required first degree must be closely related to the subject. Non-consecutive Master's degrees have a much larger target audience, addressing graduates of many different degree programs (see table 'Additional information/admission requirements'). Graduates of universities of applied sciences or universities of co-operative education with Diplom or Bachelor's degrees from accredited degree programs may be admitted to Master's degree programs at our University.
