    interests.
    • We recommend you to be specific about your past studies and your reasons for
    being interested in the MGSE program.

    economics. The degree should be passed with distinction (a minimum average grade of 2.5
    in the German system).

    Students who possess a master's degree in a field closely related to economics are also
    welcome to apply. This includes graduates holding a degree from fields such as statistics,
    mathematics, physics, or other fields with a solid education in quantitative methods.

    will not be accepted.
    In general, we expect applicants to score in the quantitative part of the GRE at or above the
    80th percentile. In the past, the typical successful candidate scored around or above the
    90th percentile.

    8. Academic letters of recommendation


    You will be required to provide contact details of two (2) academic referees who have

    Both of your referees should be able to assess your academic ability and potential. In case
    you have worked on a research project, a member of the research institute can also send a
    letter of recommendation.

    If you are shortlisted your referees will be contacted by us directly and will be asked to
    upload the letters of recommendation, containing official university letterhead and the
    signature of the referee, to the application system.

    Please be aware of the respective deadlines until your referees have to provide their letter
    to us.

    Please note that we cannot accept letters of recommendation sent or uploaded by the
    candidates themselves.
