Who it is useful for

  • Prospective students can compare degree levels, check admission requirements and deadlines, and review the stated costs of a degree before applying.
  • Current students can find semester dates, course and exam information, and rematriculation details.
  • Researchers and doctoral candidates can review the individual doctoral programmes (management, economics and finance, computer science, law, organization studies and cultural theory, international affairs and political economy) and research support services.
  • Professionals and companies can explore executive programmes and the transfer and entrepreneurship offerings.

What to keep in mind

The site is an institutional information source, not an application portal summary. Details such as tuition, deadlines, and admission criteria are published on their own pages, so confirm them there rather than relying on general descriptions. If you need a specific answer, such as whether a programme fits your background, start from the relevant section (Studying → Admissions or Programmes) and use the contact options listed on the site.
