Applicants for the English master’s programs need proficiency in English. Requirements, application dead­ lines, and application procedures may vary. For further information on the specifics for each study program, please contact the respective TU9 University (see individual TU9 Universities’ links on page 5). To enroll in a master’s program, a first university degree (usually a three- year bachelor’s degree) is required. If you have completed your studies abroad and would like to pursue a master’s degree in Germany, your first university degree must be recognized in Germany. To know how your first university degree is assessed in Germany, the anabin database (» www.anabin.de) provides an overview (in German). Note All master’s programs listed in this brochure offer a “Master of Science” degree unless stated otherwise. 4 Special Information for International Students All TU9 Universities have International Offices with counseling offers and services for international applicants and students.
