The MSD executive committee is called teaching committee (TC) and determines the strategic direction and the content of this master’s degree.

According to the study regulations the TC is composed of different group representatives: three professors (one representative of each participating faculty), one research associate, one PhD student, one student.

For details regarding the current members of the teaching committee see here.

The language of instruction in the MSD program is English. Students are responsible for having attained the required language skills (level B2 or higher) to successfully pursue the MSD. A language certificate is not requiered. Examination failures cannot be justified by insufficient language skills.

There is a new timetable for each semester; see downloads: MSD 2026.

It's important to use the latest version of the timetable. Changes may occur even after the first publication of the semester program. Therefore, when arranging the individual timetable the best is to cross-check the information in the detailed course directory shortly before the start of the teaching period.

You will can download the transcript of records (German = Datenabschrift) shortly after or before the start of the new semester on online services. The document provides an overview of the accreditation of academic achievements within the past semester.

Not on the transcript of records are ratings of other universities as well as free academic achievements. These will be listet once the final master's degree transcript is prepared.
