We do not offer an adjustment semester for missing credit points in the subject requirements.

Please note that in order for the missing credits to be valid for admission to the Master's programme, you must have completed the Bachelor's degree programme in Business Psychology at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and that you can only be enrolled in a higher semester if you have not yet completed a Bachelor's degree in Business Psychology at another university. Please also note that admission to the higher semesters of the Bachelor's degree programme in Business Psychology at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences is also restricted and therefore no guaranteed place can be given. Further information on applying for a higher semester can be found at the bottom of the page under "Further links".
