Please note the following in particular:

The decision as to whether the respective applicant meets the admission requirements, in particular whether a degree programme is suitable in terms of subject matter, is made by the responsible admissions committee. Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a binding preliminary assessment of your achievements in a Bachelor's degree programme and a corresponding statement on possible admission. Admission is decided solely by the admissions committee, which reviews the applications received after the application deadline. The admissions regulations for the Master's programme in Business Administration will certainly help you to compare your previous achievements with the admission requirements for this Master's programme. If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions office and the .

You can start by inquiring about the grade point averages of recent years. Please note that the NC is not the same every year – the numerus clausus is determined retrospectively for each group of applicants based on their actual grades; the annual NC shows how good the applicant cohort was overall. 

For questions regarding admission, please contact the Admissions office.

What career prospects are possible after completing the degree programme?

Recognition and credit transfer matters, as well as classification into a higher semester, if applicable, are always processed centrally by the Examinations Office after receipt of the application for the respective semester (summer or winter). However, a proposal for recognition/credit transfer can only be processed once you have enrolled at the University of Oldenburg.  

The academic advisory service cannot provide legally binding advice and therefore cannot classify you into a higher semester or recognise or credit achievements. We can advise you on which of your completed modules might be suitable for our degree programmes or which modules should be taken and when. We can also explain the ideal study plan and the content of our degree programmes.

If you have any questions about general admission requirements (e.g. university entrance qualification for bachelor's programmes, proof of language skills), please contact the information service or the Admissions office at the University of Oldenburg directly. If you have questions about subject-specific requirements (e.g. proof of subject knowledge for Master's programmes) or the course schedule, please contact the academic advisory service directly.

If you have transferred to the University of Oldenburg from another place of study, you can submit a proposal for credit or the recognition of study periods or previous examination results. In principle, it is also possible to have professionally acquired skills credited.

The academic advisory service cannot provide legally binding advice and therefore cannot grant credit or recognition of achievements for examination purposes. We can advise you on which of your completed modules might be suitable for our degree programmes or which modules should be taken and when. We can also explain the ideal study plan and the content of our degree programmes.

Recognition and credit transfer matters, as well as classification into a higher semester, if applicable, are always processed centrally by the Examinations Office after receipt of the application for the respective semester (summer or winter). However, a proposal for recognition or credit transfer can only be processed once you have enrolled at the University of Oldenburg. Therefore, please also refer to the pages of the Admissions office and the application deadlines specified there. The PLAR Service will advise you on the crediting of professionally acquired skills.

Please contact the Examinations Office or the academic advisory service.

First, read through the information on the individual specialisations. Please also note the study plans for the individual specialisations and the examination regulations, as these will tell you which modules you need to study in each specialisation.

Please also note that the first semester of the specialisations in this degree programme is structured similarly. Only one specialization module is planned for the first semester. However, you can deviate from the recommendations in the study plan with regard to the timing of the modules. This means that you can still orientate yourself in the first semester and then decide on a specialisation. Nevertheless, you should indicate your preferred specialisation in your application. Please refer to the admissions regulations for the Master's programme in Business Administration: Management and Law.

If you have any further questions, please contact the . 

The individual chairs in the department handle the process differently. You will usually find very detailed information on the chairs' websites.

If you need guidance and advice before deciding on a chair and contacting them, please contact the academic advisory service.

Please enquire in good time with the desired professorship or primary supervisor about the requirements (deadlines, modules to be taken at the chair, application/motivation letter, topic lists, etc.) and whether supervision of your thesis is possible. It is advisable to give the lecturer an initial idea of the thematic focus of your thesis when making this enquiry. Please also note that the individual chairs have limited capacity for supervising theses. 

For most of our Business Administration chairs, for example, the following deadlines apply:

• between 15 May and 15 July (for theses to be started in the following winter semester) or
• between 15 November and 15 January (for theses to be started in the following summer semester).

The "official" registration of the thesis with the Examinations Office, which is relevant for examination purposes, is independent of these deadlines and takes place after consultation with the respective first examiner of the thesis.

Please check the website of the respective chair before sending them an enquiry. There you will usually find initial information on writing a thesis in the respective subject area:

- Economics chairs: uol.de/wire/vwl/

- Business Administration chairs: uol.de/bwl-bwp/

- Law chairs: uol.de/rechtswissenschaften/

The range of possible career fields is wide. It is not possible to name individual professions and exclude others. Your future career prospects depend primarily on your interests, the modules you take during your studies and the internship you choose. Take a look at the career fields listed on the profile pages of your desired degree programme. You are also welcome to contact the academic advisory service or the Central Student and Career Counselling Service.

It is best to contact the . In a joint discussion, we can talk about your preferences and see which specialisation (business administration, economics, law, ecology and sustainability, business informatics) is suitable.

General information on the area of specialisation can be found here.

In the area of specialisation (PB) of our Bachelor's degree programmes in Economics, Business Administration and Law, and Economics and Environmental Studies, there are currently 3 PB modules (18 CP) planned for the entire programme, and in the two-subject Bachelor's degree programme in Economics (non-school career goal), there are 5 modules (30 CP). The PB area at the University of Oldenburg is divided into the following study areas:

• Languages pillar
• Interdisciplinary professionalisation pillar
• Subject-specific professionalisation

An overview of the modules planned for this area can be found here.

The study plan and examination regulations for your degree programme also contain recommendations for some subject-related professionalisation modules (subject-specific professionalisation). You can find out more about the range of subject-related PB modules on offer as follows:

• Go to StudIP – search for professionalisation modules in the course catalogue. Be sure to read the information on individual modules, e.g. the module description.
• Find out about the courses offered in the area of specialisation on the websites of the relevant chairs.
• If you have any questions about the module content, please contact the relevant module lecturers.

Please note that the range of modules on offer, particularly in the area of specialisation modules, changes from time to time, as this range is linked to the available capacities of the chairs, research projects, etc. Due to the abundance and dynamic nature of the range of courses on offer in the area of specialisation, it is not possible to provide information on all courses. If in doubt, please contact the academic advisory service – we will advise you based on the information available to us. However, advice is only available for courses offered by the Department of Economics and Law.

You also have the option of taking subject modules in the PB area that are designated as compulsory elective modules in your own degree programme. Please note the examination regulations applicable to you (or your year of study) and the subject-specific appendix. However, subject modules from other degree programmes cannot be taken in the PB area without further ado. The following applies here: Compulsory modules from subjects with restricted admission are excluded and may not be taken. Compulsory elective modules from such subjects with restricted admission may be included in the area of specialisation up to a maximum of 18 credit points (however, these compulsory elective modules may not be compulsory modules in any other degree programme with restricted admission). The module coordinator decides on admission to the module. The regulations in the examination regulations for the area of specialisation in Appendix 3a, which you can find here, as well as the subject-specific appendices for your respective degree programme and year of study are binding in this regard.

First, please refer to the general information on part-time study and the current regulations on part-time study. Then please contact the academic advisory service to discuss the appropriate module selection in your specific case. Have the proposal for part-time study signed by the academic advisory service and submit it to the Admissions office. If you have general questions about part-time study, e.g. the effects of part-time study on BaföG, child benefit, health insurance, etc., please contact the relevant authorities. The academic advisory service cannot assist you with these questions.

The Department of Economics and Law has its own coordination office for the prx108 training module, which will be happy to help you.

The Department of Economics and Law has its own "Internationalisation" service centre (Ms Kerstin Groscurth), which will be happy to help you. You can also find out about other options on the International Office website.

Application and admission:
We (academic advisory service) do not consider application and admission issues, e.g. bachelor's degree equivalent qualifications, language certificates. All applicants for bachelor's and master's programmes who received their prior education abroad should apply online through uni-assist. Furthermore, our University's International Student Office (ISO) offers information for international students (degree-seeking and exchange).

Please note (especially for our Master's programme): It is not possible to guarantee or estimate the probability of admission before the end of the application period. The admissions committee will decide on admission after the end of the application period, once all applications have been received.
