Master & PhD

Can I pursue a master's degree in a different field like psychology with an unrelated bachelor's degree (e.g., English Literature)?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 107 views

It's generally tough to pursue a master's degree in an unrelated field like psychology if your bachelor's is in something like English Literature. Master's programs in Germany usually require you to have completed a specific number of ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits or particular course content from a related bachelor's program. A degree in English Literature, for example, might not directly qualify you for a psychology master's. You absolutely need to check the detailed admission requirements for the specific university and program you want to apply to.
