To be admitted to the Research Master’s programme students must have an internationally recognized Bachelor’s degree in any relevant field in the humanities (such as History, Classics, Medieval Studies, Oriental Studies, or a modern European language and literature/culture).

The selection procedure is based on an evaluation of degree certificates and individual results, proficiency in English (min. 620 TOEFL or min. 7 IELTS), transcripts of records and letters of recommendation.
