Degree Requirements

Yes, if you provide official, provisional evidence from the examination office of your university or faculty that includes a preliminary final grade and certifies that you have already earned at least two-thirds of the necessary credit points. It is not sufficient to calculate the preliminary final grade yourself. The certification must be handed in by the application deadline or your application will not be considered.

Yes, this is possible. Please note, however, that this is a consecutive MA program. You will, therefore, be required to apply with your BA degree and not any other degree you have. At least one third of your BA degree's total credit points need to be in history or in an area study.

Most likely the answer is no. Since successful applicants to the program are required to have earned at least one third of their undergraduate degree's total credit points in courses with a history or area studies focus, students who hold a BA in international relations are usually not eligible for the program. The reason for this is that international relations courses normally don't put an emphasis on historiographical aspects. In addition, they do not qualify as area studies as they are mostly concerned with the relations of a number of regions and do not focus on building expertise on one particular region.

Unfortunately, no. You need to have had at least one third of your undergraduate degree's credit points in history or an area study. Taking classes outside your main degree or in addition to your degree will, unfortunately, not render your application eligible.

Since this is a consecutive MA program your chances will be limited. However, the examination board will decide whether your degree is equivalent to a degree in history or area studies based on the courses you took for your degree.

If you did not major in history or area studies, please include a transcript of records that shows that at least one third of your degree's total credit points were in history or an area study. Your area studies courses should reveal a focus on one region.
