– Applicants for the 90 ECTS Master of Science (MSc) in Sustainability, Innovation & Technology must have an undergraduate degree with at least 210 ECTS or equivalent credit points, completed over a standard study period of at least six semesters.
– Applicants for the 120 ECTS MSc in Sustainability, Innovation & Technology must have an undergraduate degree with at least 180 ECTS or equivalent credit points, completed over a standard study period of at least six semesters.
– The undergraduate degree must be in a relevant subject area, such as:
– Business, economics, or sustainability-related fields (e.g., business administration, sustainable development, entrepreneurship, or management).
– Related fields such as environmental sciences, sustainability sociology, policy, technology, computer science, AI, data science, or humanities with a sustainability focus.
– Applicants must demonstrate sufficient English language proficiency at a minimum B2 level according to the European Framework of Reference for Languages.
– Motivation must be shown through the application form and will be further assessed during the admission process.
– An admission interview is mandatory to evaluate eligibility and alignment with the program.
– Applicants may qualify without an undergraduate degree if they have successfully completed a minimum two-year, recognized vocational training program in Germany, accompanied by several years of relevant professional experience. This requires passing the ToU MSc Entrance Exam.
– The vocational training must result in a degree or diploma, typically earned over two or three years, and must include practical, job-specific instruction. Short-term certificates or one-year training programs do not qualify.
– To graduate with the MSc, learners must achieve a total of 300 ECTS by the end of the program.
– Learners with a 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree enrolling in the 120 ECTS MSc will meet the requirement naturally.
– Learners with a 210 ECTS bachelor’s degree enrolling in the 90 ECTS MSc will also meet the requirement.
– In rare cases, learners with a 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree seeking the 90 ECTS MSc may have 30 ECTS credited from professional experience to reach the required 300 ECTS. This is strongly discouraged in favor of the 120 ECTS program.
– Professional experience must be relevant to MSc subjects, involve at least two years of full-time work, and may include sustainability, innovation, or technology-related roles.
