Admission and Requirements

All applicants must provide the following documents: 

• Previous degree(s) including the final grade (GPA) and a transcript of records.

If your final diploma has not been issued yet:

•  A certificate of enrollment in your current Bachelor’s degree program, and
•  A preliminary diploma or transcript of records, listing all passed examinations and your current average grade. This document must be issued by the same office that provides final diplomas. At the time of application, your transcript must show that you have completed at least 80% of the credit points required for graduation from your program.

All applicants must upload official documents:

• the copy of your bachelor’s degree including the final GPA and the transcript of records. The same holds for your certificate of enrollment and the preliminary transcript of records if you have not yet received your final diploma. If applicable, these documents must be accompanied by a certified translation into German or English (see uni-assist’s information on certifications and translations).

Proof of English language proficiency to be rendered by either of the following:

• TOEFL (at least 95 iBT).
• IELTS Academic Test (band score of at least 7)
• UNIcert (at least level 3)
• Cambridge Certificate (at least C1 Advanced)

Proof of those results (scan copy / pdf) must also be uploaded with your online application via uni-assist, else your scores will not be considered. 

If your Bachelor degree program’s sole language of instruction was English, you are exempted from submitting a language certificate. Instead, please provide proof of your English proficiency by uploading a document confirming the language of instruction of your Bachelor program issued by your university.

The admissions committee evaluates your quantitative skills based on the following:

Coursework in Quantitative Subjects:

• The committee considers the amount of ECTS (10%) and the weighted grade average (9%) of quantitative courses listed in your transcript of records.
• Please note that the committee will determine which modules qualify as sufficiently quantitative. If you are unsure, we recommend providing the corresponding module descriptions.
• Ungraded modules cannot be considered.

Alternative Proof via Standardized Tests:

• If you cannot demonstrate your quantitative skills through coursework, you can submit a GRE, GMAT, or GMAT Focus score report.
• The admissions committee will only consider the percentile of the quantitative section (19%).
• Official test scores must be sent via institutional reporting during the admissions process. Our GRE institution code is 4258.
• Additionally, you must upload a copy of your score report (e.g., a scanned PDF) with your online application via uni-assist. Scores submitted without this uploaded proof will not be considered.

Please provide a motivational letter explaining your interest in the Master’s Program in Money, Macro and Finance. The letter must be written in English and must not exceed 750 words.

Please provide one recommendation letter written in English by a professor or another qualified person. This letter can be submitted in one of the following ways:

• Standard Letter: A traditional recommendation letter written and signed by a professor or another qualified person.
• Alternative 1: Complete the form “recommendation_letter_alternative_mmf”, which must be filled out and signed by a professor or another qualified person.
• Alternative 2: A written statement from the examination office of your undergraduate institution, indicating the percentile rank of your (preliminary) GPA.

Submission Options:

• The letter can be uploaded directly by the applicant via the online application platform.
• Alternatively, the letter can be sent directly by the person writing it to mmf.office@hof.uni-frankfurt.de.

Please ensure that the letter is submitted before the application deadline, as late or missing letters cannot be considered.

Please provide a plain (i.e., uncertified) copy of your university entrance qualification. Examples include:

• Abitur
• High school diploma
• A-Levels
• International Baccalaureate (IB)

Other equivalent qualifications are also accepted.
