Fast Track
A one-year German Master's for STEM graduates.
Fast Track propels the opportunity to complete a German-accredited Master's in 12 months — fully online — if you already hold a STEM bachelor's with 240 ECTS or equivalent.
The opportunity
In the European credit system, a Master's typically brings the total to 300 ECTS. If you already hold 240 ECTS from a STEM bachelor's, Fast Track lets you complete the remaining 60 ECTS in one year (four quarters) instead of a two-year, 120 ECTS Master's.
Study in English, full-time or part-time, with German UDS faculty. Tuition is €7,500. Stay where you are, keep working if you choose the part-time mode, and graduate eligible to apply for roles that require a recognised German university Master's.
Programmes with Fast Track
Fast Track is offered on selected Master's programmes. If you hold a STEM bachelor's with 240 ECTS, you can finish one of these degrees in one year instead of two.
Entry requirements
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline with 240 ECTS or equivalent
- English Level B2 (CEFR) or equivalent
Applicants who already hold a Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline with 240 ECTS or equivalent, plus English at CEFR B2. If your bachelor's is 180 ECTS, the standard two-year Master's (120 ECTS) is the usual route.
