Personal admission interview
After applying for a study place, eligible applicants are invited to a personal interview. The contents of the admission interview range from the subject area of previous education and personal access to the UAS Master's degree programme to possible already existing professional experience and future professional expectations of the applicants.

Decision on admission
If the number of applicants exceeds the number of available study places, the admission procedure provides for a ranking, whereby the academic qualification (previous study career), additional qualifications (professional qualifications, certificates, etc.) as well as the admission interview are evaluated. Applications submitted late can only be considered if there are free study places.

If an applicant does not fulfil the admission requirements before the start of the programme (e.g. did not pass the resit of the school-leaving examination, did not pass the additional qualification examination, etc.), the deposit is also refunded. In all other cases, the deposit is forfeited.
