Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. Admission to the doctoral program is a separate process from enrolment in the bachelor’s and master’s program, and requires a suitable topic, supervision, funding, and formal acceptance by the awarding university.
Candidates in preparatory public service are generally not required to pay conventional tuition fees and are paid statutory remuneration. Ancillary costs and benefits are determined by the appointing authority and current service rules. Tuition fees normally do not include accommodation, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel and optional project expenses. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium if offered, DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, sponsorship by employers, education funds or paid research and student-assistant work. Each award is assessed independently of admission.

Students acquire employability via: authority placements, police exercises, court and justice rotation, administrative cases, legal drafting, digital-government projects, and employer-supervised final work. Alumni and professional networks can provide mentoring, sector insights and contacts but each student is still responsible for applications and career decisions. The institution is of particular interest to applicants who are seeking a selective, paid entry into the state or municipal administration, the police or the court administration in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, if their previous education, proof of language skills, type of study and financing are compatible with the current program conditions.
