Requirement for successfully passing the master examination is the proof of sufficient or the catching up with
the missing credit points from the technically relevant courses available at the Rosenheim University. Course
and examination requirements that will have to be passed additionally will be stipulated by the board of
examination. In certain cases vocational or professional work periods may be credited to the missing credit
points. Thus obtaining a degree necessitates the proof of a total of 300 credit points (incl. first course of
studies). Applicants with less than 180 ECTS from their first course of studies cannot be admitted to the
master course of studies.
