The transfer to the Master of Education program takes place (2) no later than November 30 for the winter semester and no later than May 31 for the summer semester of each year. Later transfers are only possible in cases of hardship (e.g. delays in the evaluation of the bachelor's thesis, cancelled examinations, etc.) upon application of the student to the GPA-M.Ed.".
