International MSc Ecology, Evolution and Conservation

How to apply

You can apply any time, but the selection will always happen after June 15 (deadline), for starting the studies in the winter term (October). We would therefore recommend that you apply shortly before this date. For your application, you need:

A cover letter (1 page max.), stating at least that you are applying to the EEC program, but ideally also including a very brief summary of your background and your motivation for applying to the program.

Your BSc certificate (or a certificate of an equivalent degree with at least 180 CP) including a transscript of records. If you do not have your degree certificate yet, you can also submit a transcript of records with at least 150 CP. Your degree certificate can then be submitted later if you are accepted to the program.

A standard CV summarizing your education and relevant work or internship experience

A Certificate of English (at least level B2). For details and how to obtain this see the comments on the application procedure for the MSc Biology.

Your solution to the entry exam question for the EEC program (details see below)

Applicants from non-German universities additionally need to supply:

A full transcript of records with grades for each course including a syllabus / course catalogue which specifies the content of each course. All documents must be in German or English (if the original is not in German or English, you must provide a certified translation).

Certificate of German language skills (at least A1). If you do not have this certificate at the time of your application, you can obtain it during your first year of study. If you are a citizen of a German-speaking country or went to school in a German-speaking country (e.g. Austria, Switzerland), we will also consider this as proof of your German language skills.

All files should be combined in one pdf file and sent to the email specified below in the section "Checklist". The deadline for applications is June 15th.
