Compare my optionsThe programme
The EES Master's programme is an economics degree programme with a strong emphasis on international and interdisciplinary orientation. This is evident through language training in foreign business languages, a possible stay abroad (not obligatory), three double-degree agreements (more are planned), and a wide range of electives in related disciplines that students can (but are not required to) choose from.
- How it is organised
- The two-year Master's degree programme (120 ECTS) usually takes place entirely in Bamberg. Teaching consists of a balanced mix of lectures and seminars. Instruction in one or two foreign business languages (12 ECTS each) is provided in small seminar groups throughout the first four semesters.
- Study abroad
- Students may optionally spend one to two semesters at one of our approximately 250 partner universities worldwide.
- Internships
- No
- Part-time work
- Students may be employed as student assistants within the university. Other employment alternatives outside of the university are possible.
- Degree
- Joint or double degree with a partner university.
From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
Living in Bamberg
A UNESCO old town on a river, with one university and about 10,400 students in it.
Bamberg is a small city where the university is part of the old town itself: the Mensa Austraße stands in the old town, the central university address is a few streets from the river, and the university's other sites are spread through the city.
