Candidates holding a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree
Candidates holding a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in any major subject relevant to the Graduate School are eligible to apply for the MSc CE program at the Study Center CE of TU Darmstadt. In a second step, during their first year of study at the Study Center CE, they are welcome to apply at the Graduate School CE (requirements please find below “Application modalities for entering the Graduate School CE”). I.e., accepted candidates finally enter the Graduate School CE in their second master year (winter or summer term possible).
The whole MSc CE program is performed accordingly to the curriculum of the Study Center CE. In addition, those candidates accepted at the Graduate School CE already start working on their PhD project during their second MSc year, without the need for writing a final master thesis.

Summarized modalities for entering the MSc study program in CE:

• All applications for the MSc CE study program from abroad have to be placed at the International Office of TU Darmstadt. Please observe the relevant application deadlines and required German language certificates stated there
• General questions concerning admission for studying at TU Darmstadt may also be addressed to the Registrar's Office (page available in German only), which is of interest to German students especially.
• Additional information concerning requirements for admission to the master study program in CE may be found at the website of the Study Center CE (page available in German only).
