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, as long as, in the course of your studies, you've earned the equivalent of 35 credit points (Leistungspunkte) – about a third of a bachelor's degree – in historical or regional courses and have the necessary language skills.

Please note, however, that this is a consecutive MA program. You will, therefore, be required to apply with your BA and not any other degree you have.

Most likely the answer is no. Since successful applicants to the program are required to have earned an equivalent of at least 35 European credit points for their undergraduate degree 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. The entrance requirements of 35 credit points in either history or area studies has to have been completed as part of your undergraduate degree. Completing the required amount of credit points 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 proves that you earned an equivalent to at least 35 ECTS in historical or area studies courses. Your area studies courses should reveal a focus on one region.
