Master's programs
Universität Hamburg offers two kinds of master's programs:
- Consecutive master's programs build upon specific bachelor's programs. As a rule, they are two to four-semester programs which build upon, deepen or expand previous bachelor's programs by adding an interdisciplinary focus.
- Non-consecutive master's programs do not build upon specific bachelor's programs. They have the same prerequisites, however, as consecutive master's programs and they confer the same qualifications.
Important Note: Change of Application Period
Starting from winter semester of 2025/26, the application deadline for master programs for the winter semester will change. It will run from May 1 to June 15 of each year. The application deadlines for the summer semester (December 1 to January 15) and the application deadline for international master programs (February 15 to March 31) will remain unchanged.
