1. Filled out and signed application for admission to the trinational M. A. in European Studies

2. Bachelor's degree in social sciences, law, economics, media or communication studies, history, philosophy or cultural studies (each with a minimum of 65 ECTS in political science or law) or an equivalent degree (in officially certified copy);

• In addition to the certified copy, an English translation is required. (In principle, the translation of certificates must be done by an official body, such as the issuing institution or a sworn translator or interpreter. If, for example, you have obtained a certificate at your home university, this can be translated at the home university or issued in several languages straight away. Translations made by private persons or by yourself are not sufficient. You should place the original of the translation with your own documents - the University of Mainz requires an officially certified copy).

• If you have not yet submitted your Bachelor's degree certificate by the deadline, but can provide evidence of at least 135 credit points, submit a certificate (transcript of records, in English) of all academic and examination achievements to date, including the resulting average grade to date. This certificate must be issued by the responsible university (original or officially certified copy). The average grade and the sum of the credit points earned so far must be shown by the responsible university. If you are admitted provisionally on this basis, you must already be able to prove 180 credit points by October 1 in order to enroll successfully in Opole and thus be able to start the European Master's program. If this proof is not provided, the admission will expire.
• Prospective students with a foreign university degree can only apply if they have already received the degree certificate of their foreign university! (Proof of at least 135 cr is therefore not sufficient in this case.) In order to be eligible for admission to a Master's program in Mainz, you must first have your foreign degree recognized! Recognition is always carried out by the university at which you wish to study. Since the process of recognition is sometimes time-consuming and lengthy, an application for recognition of a foreign university degree should be submitted very early (approx. 6 weeks before the application deadline). The notice of recognition must be available for the application! You can find more information about the procedure for "Recognition of foreign certificates" as well as the form for applying for recognition of your degree for downloading in the right column under "Further information".
