In order to verify that you are eligible to study Master at our university, we require the following documents:

• Completed application form
• Copy of identity card
• Copy of Bachelor's degree (or equivalent, if available, or transcript of records)
• School-leaving diploma (such as high school diploma, vocational diploma, or equivalent) in the original language incl. subjects and transcript of records
• Proof of English language proficiency at min. level B2 (e.g., TOEFL or IELTS)
• CV.

Optional:

• Translations of all attached educational certificates (English)
• Proof of professional qualifications for applicants
• Proof of university and non-university knowledge already acquired
• Proof of professional experience or professional training

Applicants who require a visa for Germany and do not yet have one should submit their application the latest by June 15 for the fall term or by December 15 for the spring term.

To be admitted to a master's program, you need to have successfully completed a bachelor's degree with at least 180 ECTS credits or an equivalent degree from a university, university of applied sciences, or recognized foreign university. For our Fast Track option (graduate in only 3 semesters), you need a bachelor's degree with at least 210 ECTS points.

For admission to an economics master's program at ISM, you should either have completed a first degree in economics/business sciences or have earned at least 30 ECTS credits in the field of busines sciences. You can compensate for or acquire missing subject-specific ECTS credits through relevant qualified professional experience, suitable internships, or by participating in our preparatory courses or in our Pre-Master program.

You must also provide proof of language proficiency at least at the level B2 in the language of instruction (English in this case), submit all application documents in full, and successfully complete the admission process.

If you have already completed professional training or passed exams in another degree program, you can apply to have your previous achievements recognized for your ISM master's degree program and thus shorten your study time. You will benefit from a more efficient course of study, enter a higher semester if applicable, and gain valuable freedom for practical experience, experiences abroad, or individual specializations.
