A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • A related bachelor's degree, such as mathematics, computing, physics, economics or quantitative psychology, with a German-equivalent grade of 2.5 or better.
  • The programme expects approximately 40 credits across mathematics, methods and programming and 20 in social/behavioural sciences.
  • Submit relevant module descriptions and a CV; a personal motivation statement is strongly recommended.
  • Prior relevant experience does not replace the grade and academic prerequisites.
  • Final selection considers the overall programme fit.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • All modules are in English.
  • Accepted evidence includes IELTS 6.5, an accredited degree of at least three years taught entirely in English, or another approved qualification.
  • The department says language evidence cannot be added after the application deadline.
  • Confirm the currently accepted TOEFL scale if using that test.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • First-semester entry is in winter only.
  • The standard curriculum lasts two years; an advanced-semester route is not a separate summer first-year intake.

  • The 2026 round has closed.
