Consecutive master's programs build upon previous bachelor's programs. As a rule, they are between two and four semesters. A master's program can be a continuation of a bachelor's program or it can involve more in-depth or interdisciplinary work.
Non-consecutive master's progams, on the other hand, are progams which are not based on previous bachelor's programs. Their demands are equivalent to those of consecutive master's programs, however, and they confer the same qualifications and the same rights.
Precise application requirements for a master's program at Universität Hamburg depend upon the program. All programs require proof, however, that you have completed a first-degree program. You can find more detailed information about the application requirements of individual programs in a PDF brochure on applying online for master's programs.
If the number of suitable applicants to a master's program exceeds the number of places, there will be a selection procedure. Applicants are selected according to aptitude and motivation. This generally means that selection procedures are based on the grade point average of their first-degree program and their academic achievements upon application to the master's program.
