This should be fulfilled before the studies on campus begin, has to be confirmed in writing by an On-site Mentor or Supervisor and is awarded 30 ECTS. This gives the student the same entrance level as the consecutive entry into Masters study, which leads to the same level of qualification and eligibility.
German law makes provision in certain cases that students may engage in postgraduate training by completing an entrance examination rather than possessing a bachelor's degree.
As all courses are held in English, English language proficiency of at least C2 level is required.
Special entry requirements:
For the Biblical Studies, students with a bachelor's degree in another study area are required to complete four Modules as a propaedeuticum, normally NT Greek I & II, Systematic Theology and Church History.
