This master file includes the course portfolio of 15 undergraduate entries and 11 postgraduate entries, with subject combinations consolidated into their parent degree where appropriate. Undergraduate examples are Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Automation, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity. Later entries are Media Management, Business Administration, Social work. Postgraduate study Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybercrime and Cybersecurity, Applied Mathematics for Network and Data Sciences, Biotechnology to Media Management, Social Work – Counseling, Leadership and Digitality, Business Management. All courses are still parent qualifications and specializations are captured within the course entry rather than falsely represented as separate degrees. Dual, cooperative, online, part-time, and practice-integrated variants are retained within the relevant parent qualification and not counted as separate degrees.
Admission controlled program level The published route for international qualifications for the foreign-certificate route. Aptitude, module, contract or professional evidence may be required for restricted, media, forensic, dual, graduate or continuing programs. The application portal for applicants is available at Mittweida. Applicants have to check the teaching language, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route before submission. International school or university qualifications may require external evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation for applicable countries or additional evidence of academic equivalence. Master’s committees may ask you to provide module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience or attend an interview. Admission to a bachelor’s or master’s program is different from doctoral entry. Doctoral entry normally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the responsible faculty.
There is no general tuition for regular degree study. The contribution for the winter semester 2026/27 is €107.00, of which €92 goes to Studentenwerk Freiberg and €15 to the student body. The regular contribution does not include a semester ticket for Germany. Second degree routes, continuing and fee bearing distance are more expensive. These institutional charges exclude rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. If provided for by relevant law or program regulation, special tuition may apply to continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats. Funding may be available through BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility funding, Foundations, Research employment or university specific awards. However, each funding application is assessed independently from admission.
Career preparation reflects the subject mix of the university and is not a guarantyd placement scheme. Students can boost their professional readiness via internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and an externally partnered thesis.
