Admission requirements & deadlines
If there are more applications than university places, the places are allocated via NC-procedures. The final grade is then calculated as follows:
- 60% grade of bachelor degree (or provisional grade from provisional certificate)
- 40% result of the student aptitude test
The following admission requirements apply to the master program:
To apply to the program you need a bachelor’s degree in economics or a thematically related degree or an equivalent international degree with a standard study period of six semesters, more specifically:

Either way, at least 30 ECTS-Credit Points must have been acquired in modules in the fields of logistics and/or foreign trade and/or production and/or supply chain management and/or mobility.

You can look up the number of points necessary for a C1 level in various certificates (e.g. TOEFL or IELTS) on the website of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF). Acceptable language certificates are such listed by the CEF.
