Furthermore, you can study the Master of Arts in History of Global Markets in both German and English.

  • 1 April to 15 May of a year (start of studies in the winter semester (October))
  
  
  • 1 October to 15 November of a year (start of studies in the summer semester (April))
  
  

  
  
  

  Exceptions:

  
  

  The Master of Science in Applied Statistics and the Master of Science in Management only start in the winter semester. You can therefore only apply for these programmes from 1 April to 15 May each year.

  
  
  

  The Master of Science in Development Economics also always begins in the winter semester. The following application deadlines apply to this programme:
