Master's degrees
The springboard for your career
Do you have high aspirations? A Master's degree from the University of Passau opens many doors and qualifies you for executive positions in the private and public sector, as well as giving you access to doctoral study. It is indispensable if you are considering a career in research.
Master's programmes are research-oriented postgraduate programmes. To qualify for a Master's programme, you must have a first degree (e.g. Bachelor's or one of the long-cycle degrees such as the state examination).
