In order to be admitted to the Master's programme in Logistics & Digitalization, you should fulfil the following requirements (excerpts from §5 and §6 of the study and examination regulations of the programme submitted for approval):

1. Admission to the Master's programme requires an average degree from a relevant Bachelor's programme with at least 210 ECTS credits or an equivalent domestic or foreign degree. If relevant courses of study do not have ECTS credits, 30 credits per full-time semester are taken as a basis.
2. On average, German higher education institutions are considered to award degrees with an overall grade of "very good" or "good" (at least 2.5). If a conversion of the overall grade is necessary due to deviating grading systems, this is done according to the so-called "modified Bavarian formula" in accordance with the general examination regulations of the East Bavarian Technical University of Amberg-Weiden. An applicant with a degree from a foreign university is recommended to submit a letter of recognition of the degree issued by a certified institution (e.g. uni-assist) by the end of the application period. The decision on admission to the course of study is made by the examination board. The Examination Commission may decide that the grading criterion mentioned in sentence 1 is considered fulfilled if the applicants concerned provide written evidence that they are among the best 60% of the graduates of their degree programme in their final year; the sole criterion for comparison is the overall grade achieved in the final examination. Applicants who are not admitted in the pre-selection process can prove their course-specific aptitude by successfully passing an aptitude test.
3. In addition to business administration-oriented courses of study, courses of study with elements from logistics (e.g. business administration, trade and service management, logistics & digitisation, international technology management), engineering (e.g. industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering) or computer science are considered relevant. The Examination Commission decides on the relevance of these subjects.
4. Graduates of a Bachelor's programme with less than 210 (but at least 180) ECTS credits have the opportunity to prove their lack of theoretical skills by successfully completing modules from an undergraduate programme at the university. The modules to be taken are usually part of the study and examination regulations of the degree programmes "Logistics & Digitalization", "Business Administration", "Trade and Service Management" or "International Business" in the currently valid version or courses offered by the Virtual University of Bavaria (vhb). The general examination regulations of the East Bavarian University of Applied Sciences apply with regard to failing modules and their repetition possibilities. The examination board determines the modules to be taken in detail. Missing practical competences can be proven by practical work experience which meets the requirements of the practical semester in the courses of studies mentioned in paragraph 3.
5. Applications for admission to the Master's programme for studies beginning in the summer semester must be submitted to the university by 15 January of the respective year, for studies beginning in the winter semester by 15 July of the respective year. The university may extend these deadlines if necessary.
6. Applicants for the Master's programme who, at the time of the application deadline for the Master's programme, do not yet have an overall examination result, but who can credibly demonstrate a successful first degree by the start of the Master's programme, will be admitted to the programme on condition that they provide the required evidence within two semesters of starting the Master's programme. Credibility of the degree is established by submitting a transcript of records, which certifies that the student has achieved all the academic achievements required for successful completion of the course.
7. Applicants who have neither obtained a first degree nor the university entrance qualification in German must provide proof of sufficient knowledge of the German language in accordance with § 3 paragraph 3 of the statutes on the matriculation procedure of the East Bavarian Technical University.
8. If applicants are not admitted, they will be informed in writing, giving reasons. A renewed application is only possible once and again at the earliest in the following application period. Admission remains valid until there is a substantial change in the course of study.

The Master's programme in Logistics & Digitalization is planned as a consecutive full-time Master's programme. You can find out more about the structure of the Master's programme under  Study Procedure.
