Entry Requirements

Applicants must hold a Bachelor degree, or equivalent, in psychology, biology, medicine, or a closely related subject area. Also eligible to apply are students in the final year of their Bachelor, or equivalent, degree courses, provided that the degree will be conferred prior to the enrolment date within the Neuro-Cognitive Psychology program in the winter semester (October).

German applicants who do not hold a Bachelor degree must have successfully completed the "Vordiplom" or "Physikum" examinations in one of the subjects specified above, and have completed two semesters of advanced-level courses ("Hauptstudium") by the date of enrolment in the Neuro-Cognitive Psychology program.

Applicants who are not native speakers of the English language must demonstrate English proficiency by obtaining acceptable results in an internationally recognized test (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS, APIEL, CPE). Proof of higher education in English or a residence of reasonable length in an English-speaking country may also be acceptable upon the decision of the Admissions Committee. Language skills may also be evaluated during the personal interviews of selected candidates (see Application Process).

Individual applicants' age should not exceed 27 years upon enrolment. Exceptions are possible only under particular circumstances, upon the decision of the Admissions Committee.
