Application and admission procedure

The Master's degree program in Population Medicine and Public Health is aimed at graduates who have completed at least six semesters of study at a higher education institution (university or university of applied sciences).

The following degrees are recognized as prerequisites:

• Bachelor of Arts (at least 180 credits)
• Bachelor of Science (at least 180 credits)
• Other Bachelor's degrees can be recognized after examination (at least 180 credits)
• Diploma
• Magister / Master's degree
• State examination

In addition, proof of 12 months of professional experience is required. As a rule, this should have been completed after the first professionally qualifying university degree; in justified individual cases, relevant professional experience prior to the university degree will be recognized as an equivalent.

There are currently 25 places available in each academic year, which are allocated via the university's own admission procedure.

Admissions for the first semester are only possible for the winter semester of each year.
