Application requirements for master distance learning courses

For students who are interested in a master's distance learning course, a first university degree, such as a bachelor's or diploma, is generally required. The thematic correspondence between the distance learning course and the bachelor's degree is important. In many cases, no specific grade point average is required, and many distance learning universities open their doors to large numbers of distance learning students.

Depending on the field, one to two years of professional experience may also be required. It is interesting that a lack of specialist knowledge can be compensated for by practical knowledge. For internationally oriented courses, especially in the areas of management and economics, basic English skills at B2 level are often necessary. In addition, in some federal states, such as Rhineland-Palatinate, Hamburg, Hesse and Berlin, regulations allow access to a master's distance learning course even without a bachelor's degree if you have completed vocational training with appropriate professional experience or further training.

The application process for a master's distance learning course is done via digital registration forms. After applying, students receive extensive documents, study booklets and access to the online campus. Many distance learning universities also offer the option of testing the course for four weeks without obligation, which gives students valuable insights into the courses on offer.
