  3. MA Examination Guidelines

(1) Taking into account the requirements and changes in the professional world, the study within the framework of the master's program should provide the students, with in-depth and advanced technical knowledge, skills, and methods in such a way that they contribute to academic work, to sound judgment, to the critical classification of scientific findings and be empowered to act responsibly. 

(2) In the Master's program, the knowledge and competencies acquired in a previous B.A. study 180 credit points (180 ECTS) should be significantly expanded and deepened. The M.A. programs are based on the continuing education concept and require at least one year of internship (30 ECTS) after the Bachelor's degree. The MA. is offered over three-years part-time (90 ECTS) in a total of 300 ECTS. 

(3) Graduates can also apply their knowledge and abilities in new and unfamiliar situations that go beyond the immediate horizons of their own occupational field. They will be enabled to independently develop new knowledge and skills after completing their studies.
