Candidates must have completed a first-cycle degree (academic BA/BSc degree) with a good grade in a discipline of relevance to Euroculture, e.g. in the Arts, Humanities or Social Sciences, such as European Studies, History, Theology, Linguistics, Philology, Literature, Philosophy, International Relations, Political Science, Law, Economics, Cultural Studies, Anthropology, Psychology or Sociology, or in another study course relevant to the Euroculture programme. (Please contact us if you are interested in studying Euroculture but are not sure whether your educational background is relevant.)
The following criteria will be taken into consideration:
- academic excellence: overall mark and quality of first degree
- academic potential, based on the time spent on obtaining the first degree and the manner of conducting studies
- motivation to study the Euroculture programme (including the applicant's expectations)
- language abilities
- work experience in related fields
- experience of having worked or studied abroad
- personal competencies and extracurricular activities relevant for successful participation in the Euroculture programme, such as the ability to work and learn in an interdisciplinary environment, to carry a heavy workload and to participate in group work
- academic and, if possible, professional references
For details, please refer to http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/31861.html.
If your native language is not English, proof of English skills must be provided:
- TOEFL paper-based 580 or TOEFL Internet-based 90
- IELTS minimum overall score 6.5, with no part score (listening, reading, writing, speaking) under 5.5
- CAE Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English: C1 or Cambridge Proficiency in English: C1
Alternatively, we accept applicants who have studied in an English-speaking country for at least one year, or students who have English as their language of instruction during the whole duration of their Bachelor's studies. Only the CAE, IELTS and TOEFL tests are regarded as valid tests by the Euroculture admission board. Any other English test might not be considered valid and might thus prevent admission.
