Application Procedure and Evidence for Admission Requirements
Applicants are strongly advised to carefully read and follow the instructions on the MSc IH Online Application Portal and the MSc IH Reference Form.
To apply for the Master of Science in International Health (MSc IH), applicants have to complete an application form by filling in all relevant information, uploading all requested documents and follow the steps through our Online Application Portal.
Submission of the online application form does not automatically grant admission to the MSc program. Following the application deadline on 31 January 2023, all submitted documents will be assessed and upon fulfilment of all requirements, the first applicants will be invited to additional interviews as part of the application process to determine an applicant's overall motivation and feasibility of starting a Master's in Munich, Germany. Applicants will then be selected on a first-come, first-served basis. Upon that, all official documents will be checked by the International Office of the LMU university before an acceptance can be made official. Waiting list spots might be available as well. You will be contacted by the MSc IH Coordination team accordingly.
Checklist for required documents:
- Application Form (online)
- Updated Curriculum Vitae
- Scan of official Academic Certificates and Transcripts (no student copies!) in the following order: Master’s degree (if applicable), Bachelor’s degree, secondary school leaving certificate
