Good to know

  • EBS will resume its face-to-face teachings for the fall term 2022. As such, we expect students to be physically on campus by 29 August 2022 in most cases.

  • Recommendation for non-EU applicants: Although we follow a rolling admissions process, we recommend that international students who need to apply for a visa to study in Germany consider applying to EBS by the end of May for fall term 2022, as the visa application processes can last between 1 to 3 months depending on the country of origin. Please remember that we will still accept applications received after the recommended deadline and allow admitted candidates whose visa applications are delayed to move to the consecutive intake.

  • If you have not completed your first degree in business administration, we offer you a Preparation Semester. It will qualify you for the Master in Real Estate programme and our other regular Master of Science programmes.

  • For the Accelerated Track, the qualifying degree in a business studies subject involving 210 ECTS is necessary. In addition, you have to complete at least one semester outside the country of your home university.

  • It pays to apply early. This will give you enough time to arrange everything necessary before starting your studies. Applying for a visa can take 1-2 months. Arrangements with your employer are often more effective if made without time pressure.

  • You are looking for a suitable scholarship? Then, the MOMENI Group Foundation scholarship is the right choice. The scholarship supports students with an above-average academic performance from socially weak or economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Receive further information about the scholarship – and here you can go to the application form.

Programme Structure

YOUR EDUCATION IN REAL ESTATE

We designed the Master’s programmes at EBS Universität to suit your individual needs and interests. The basic modules enable you to deepen your general knowledge of business management and refine your leadership skills. In the specialised modules, you can expand your management know-how and acquire in-depth knowledge in the areas of your choice. The programme takes three semesters and concludes with your Master’s thesis – often cooperating with a company. The third semester is reserved for your stay abroad at one of our more than 200 partner universities.

Accelerated Track: If you fulfil the requirements and already have international experience, you can shorten the Master’s programme by a semester abroad. The accelerated track will save you time and get you to your desired career goal faster.

International Track: The international track comprises two semesters at EBS and one semester at one of our partner universities abroad.

German Track: The German track is an option designed explicitly for non-German speaking students who have mandatory German classes each semester. In the 3rd semester, you will not go abroad but stay at EBS. It allows you to learn more about the country and its culture and improve your prospects for a career in Germany.

Double degree: We enable you to gain an international degree (MBA or Master) in addition to your EBS degree. Extend your studies abroad by one semester at one of our partner universities and receive a double degree. It’s an excellent opportunity to gain more expertise in a broader international context and expand your range of career opportunities in the global job market.

BEST CAREER OPPORTUNITIES WITH A MASTERS DEGREE IN REAL ESTATE

All students in the Master programme attend the same basic modules, which allows you to share experiences and thoughts with Master students of other specialisations and learn from each other.

Specialised mandatory & elective modules

The Master in Real Estate contains seven specialised study modules covering economics, finance, and law. We provide you with relevant specialist knowledge at a high academic level.
