In your sheet of equivalence you refer to courses from your Bachelor's degree program to provide evidence of the required ECTS in methodology and content. 

We will check these courses to see whether they meet our requirements. To do so, we need the course manual. 

Without this information, we cannot check adequately and fairly for all applicants.

Hence, if you do not submit the required module or course descriptions, your application for a place on this degree program cannot be considered.

The program is in English. However, you do not require a proof of your English skills. We expect students to have an English level of at least B2 (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) - that is self-reliant. Be honest to yourself in order to follow the content and complete the program successfully.

This is a face-to-face program that offers Welcome days by the Welcome Center Landau starting in october (likely 2 weeks before the semester starts). 

Here you should be present in person. We cannot offer online participation in welcome events and/or Master's program courses (especially if you have no valid visa at the start of the semester).

Depending on  when and from which country you apply for the master's program, you may not receive your visa in time. Applications in June may already be too late (depending on the country). However, we can easyly postpone your admission to the next winter semester as long as you have recieved a commitment for this year. The students office will take care of this process and will guide you through.
