"Proof of a university degree at a German university comprising at least 180 ECTS credits and at least six theoretical semesters of study, completed with an overall examination result of 2.5 or better, or an equivalent degree.

The overall grade of 2.5 or better is not required in exceptional cases if evidence is provided of above-average technical and operational performance in the context of responsibly implemented intra/entrepreneurship or digitization projects."

Please note: By completing a course, seminar, or module, you get awarded ECTS-credit points. Every ECTS credit point represents the amount of workload you accomplished in that period of time. For full academic year, 60 ECTS credits will be assigned, normally 30 credits are given for a semester. As per Germany 1 ECTS credit point equals 30 study hours of workload.

In case you have an undergraduate degree with less than 210 (but min. 180) ECTS credit points:

If you wish to successfully graduate from the master programme you have to complement your 180 ECTS credits from your undergraduate study with additional 30 ECTS credit points.

This can be achieved through:

- participation in courses from the range of studies at HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences.

- or through a min. 20-weeks full-time internship

- or through a min. one-year professional employment (full-time) after graduation

The examination board of the master programme will determine what skills and competencies are missing, compared to a 210 ECTS credit points degree, and therefore need to be made up during the master's programme.

Evidence of good English skills on the B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages are required.

Please note that a semester abroad in an English speaking country does not count for B2 level, neither do several courses in English during your undergraduate study program.

Tests or certificates of proof of good English skills that are being recognized as valid:

• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) internet based at least 72 points
• International English Language Testing System (IELTS) at least 5.5
• Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) at least 785
• Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE)
• Cambridge Advanced English (CAE)
• Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency (CPE)
• Business English Certificate (BEC) Vantage
• UNIcert II
• A german high school diploma showing the "B2"-Level (not older than 4 years)

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, we accept all test results from online tests and certificates.

What exactly is the project description?

The project description is a text document of 2-3 pages that describes either an "entrepreneurial" activity (i.e. starting your own business) or an "intrapreneurial" activity (i.e. taking part in an innovation project in a company). You were either personally involved in one of these projects, or your describe how you would realize it if you had to start tomorrow.

It should reveal your systematic approach - starting from a specific problem or challenge, or based on a new technology to developing a specific solution (a product or a service) to practical implementation.

Leading questions would be:

• Why did you choose the selected project for description?
  
• What was/is the starting point: a specific problem? A specific need? A new technology?
  
• Who was/is your relevant target group or customer?
• How did/would you develop a solution? What techniques and tools did/would you apply?
  
• What was/is the added value of your solution for your target group or customer? How did/does your solution look like?
  

• What kind of resources did/do you need to create and deliver your solution to your target group?
  
• How did/are you going to make the project or solution sustainable?
  
• What did you learn from this activity professionally and personally?

DO NOT SUBMIT ANY THESES, CONFERENCE PAPERS, OR OTHER NON-RELATED DOCUMENTS. IN THIS CASE YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE CONSIDERED AS INCOMPLETE.

Additionally, you need to provide proof of knowledge in the fields of entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship, digital transformation, AND implementation of projects through record, transcripts, certificates.

Examples are attended university courses, participation in summer schools or bootcamps or hackathons, open online courses, (co-) founding a business, internships in start-ups or innovative companies, etc.

Our open online course (MOOC) is considered as a proof of knowledge in entrepreneurship and digital transformation.
