Requirements

Academic Admission

To apply for the MEPS programme, you must hold an appropriate Bachelor's degree with a regular study period of at least six semesters. An explicit academic background in economics is an advantage, but not necessarily required. Should you have no explicit or only a weak background in economics, we would ask you in particular to document that your formal (mathematical and statistical) background is sufficient to enable you to meet the formal requirements which our quantitatively oriented Master's programme in economics imposes on its participants. Should you have any questions concerning the sufficiency of your Bachelor's degree for our programme, please do not hesitate to contact us.

APS Certificate

An APS certificate is required for applicants who have completed their qualifying education in India, China, or Vietnam.
