in Business Administration and Economics

• Applicants need a degree from a business studies programme (including industrial engineering, business informatics and business education) lasting at least eight semesters with a Master's degree with an overall grade of at least "good" or a degree from a programme in which a degree other than a Bachelor's degree is awarded. In the case of a relevant university degree or another academic degree programme, the overall performance must be very good.
• Students who have already failed a doctoral examination once are not eligible for admission.
• On the basis of the equivalence agreements approved by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs, foreign degrees must be checked for equivalence. We therefore ask international students to contact the International Office.
• Further regulations can be found in the doctoral degree regulations of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics.

The health insurance company with which you were last covered by statutory health insurance is responsible for the exemption and issuing the corresponding certificate. If you have never had statutory health insurance (e.g. if you have private health insurance), any statutory health insurance fund will issue you with the necessary exemption certificate. See also here. Exception: Applicants with insurance cover from other EU countries should enclose a copy of their European Insurance Card (EC Regulation 883/04 and treaty law).
