The Master’s programme is an advanced programme which usually follows the completion of a Bachelor’s programme, or of another basic programme. Its usual duration is four semesters, but may be as short as two or three semesters. The degrees most commonly awarded are the Master of Science (M.Sc.) or Master of Arts (M.A.) degrees. A Master’s degree is similar to the current German Diplom and Magister degrees with regard to the holders’ qualifications. The programme usually focuses on a single subject; the degree thesis deals with this subject. With some Master’s programmes students are required to earn 20 credit points in another subject. Admission to Master’s programmes is restricted; individual admission requirements vary. A substantial part of a programme may consist of lectures held in English. Payment of special fees may be required in some cases (see below). There are three kinds of Master’s programmes: consecutive, non-consecutive, and continuing education. Consecutive programmes are the rule: they immediately follow a prior Bachelor’s programme. A non-consecutive programme is a programme for which there is no matching Bachelor’s programme at Heidelberg University. Continuing education programmes require at least one year of professional experience as a prerequisite for participation.
Consecutive Master’s Degree Programmes
Consecutive master’s programmes are those that build on the bachelor’s degree programme according to the programme and examination regulations. The master’s programme can advance and deepen the knowledge gained in the bachelor’s programme or expand into an affiliated subject area.
