The University of Rostock is a historic, public research university on the Baltic coast, with departments in the humanities, theology, education, economics, social sciences, law-related study, agriculture, environmental science, engineering, computing, natural sciences and medicine. The institutional development includes the foundation of the University of Rostock, the oldest university in the Baltic Sea region, in 1419. The mediaeval university started with the arts, law and medicine. Today its academic profile includes humanities, theology, education, economics, social sciences, agriculture, environmental science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, dentistry and interdisciplinary marine and demographic research. The location is important as the city and science campuses of Rostock connect the university with the Baltic Sea, the port and maritime economy, hospitals, agricultural areas, renewable-energy activity, cultural institutions and neighbouring research organisations.

This master file has the course portfolio which has 17 undergraduate and 14 postgraduate entries. The subject combinations have been grouped under the parent degrees where appropriate. Undergraduate examples include Agricultural Sciences, Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Computer Science, Dentistry, later entries cover Social Sciences, Teacher Education, Theology Aquaculture, Business Administration, Computer Science, Computational Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Functional Materials, Service Management, Sustainable Agricultural Systems, Visual Computing. Each course is still a parent qualification and specialisations are captured within the course entry rather than being falsely represented as a separate degree. This row groups together major parent qualifications and retains subject combinations, teaching streams, majors and elective routes within the relevant degree rather than counting them as separate programs.

Admissions are handled by the program. Applications and enrolments are done online, through the route corresponding to the course and the applicant’s qualification. Free admission programs enable enrolment during published periods, limited courses necessitate an application and a selection decision, and international, master’s, medicine or aptitude-based routes add specific documents and deadlines. The applicants have to check teaching language, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route before they submit. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Admission to doctoral studies is separate from admission to bachelor or master studies, and normally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the responsible faculty.

Regular degree study is generally free of tuition (except for some continuing-education programs). The semester fee for the current semester amounts to €333. This includes a contribution to student-services, student-body and semester-ticket. The exact amount and payment instructions in the enrolment notice are binding. These institutional charges do not include rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.

Career preparation is not a guarantyd placement scheme, but is a reflection of the subject mix of the university. Students may improve their professional readiness through internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and an externally partnered thesis.
