Admission requirements
To be admitted to the fast track master’s study program Biomedicine (M.Sc.) at Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, you need to fulfil the following requirements:
You need a bachelor’s degree with at least 240 credit points (4 years or equivalent) in biology, biosciences, molecular biology, biomedicine, medicine, biochemistry, pharmacy or a related subject.
You are either a native speaker of English or can provide proof of 85 points in the TOEFL iBT test, an IELTS score of 6.0 points, or a Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English with at least grade B.
Important: You can also be admitted if you have earned fewer than 240 credit points with your first professionally qualifying academic degree. How does this work? You have the opportunity to have academic and/or non-academic achievements (e.g. professional experience, further training, special commitment and/or certificates) recognized. This allows you to earn up to 30 credit points.
