Postgraduate studies at DTMD University
DTMD University offers only postgraduate master's degree programs. The internationally oriented university under Luxembourg law is based in Wiltz Castle in Luxembourg. We attach great importance to internationally accredited study programs.
Admission requirements
A successfully completed undergraduate degree is generally required for postgraduate courses. Specifically, this means that at least a Bachelor's degree (level 6 according to the Bologna or Bruges-Copenhagen criteria) is required.
DTMD University also opens its application-oriented continuing education Master's degree programs to applicants with completed apprenticeships and several years of professional experience. However, the prerequisite is that the training and professional experience are directly related to the desired course of study. DTMD University will check individually whether the requirements for admission to the Master's program have been met. These admission requirements are checked as part of the accreditation process.
In special cases, for example if a previous degree is missing, DTMD University reserves the right to make admission to the Master's program dependent on additional conditions. In such cases, admission can be granted, for example, through an aptitude assessment procedure.
Consecutive Master's degree program
The Master's degree program at DTMD University is consecutive. This means that it builds on a previous degree program in terms of time and content. This is particularly relevant if the desired career goal can only be achieved through further education.
It should be noted that a consecutive Master's degree course is not a second degree course if it is taken up for the first time as a postgraduate course. For DTMD University students, however, it is a postgraduate course, as they have already completed university training in medicine, dentistry or medical technology due to their professional activities.
The Master's program at DTMD University qualifies students for scientific work and methodology. The program teaches theoretical and analytical skills. In addition, DTMD University teaches the ability to deal flexibly and creatively with new professional requirements.
Your degree at the DTMD University
The Master of Science (M. Sc.) from DTMD University is a professionally qualifying degree. This degree documents a special professional competence in the qualification shown in the Master's title. In addition, the Master's degree provides access to further doctoral programs at DTMD University and at numerous colleges and universities worldwide.
Duration of the Master's degree
The Master's program at DTMD University usually comprises two to four semesters, including creditable prior learning, as suggested by the German Rectors' Conference. It serves to deepen the academic knowledge of previous studies, to open up new areas of knowledge and to confirm and validate practical skills and experience. In addition to the successful completion of the degree program, which includes active participation in lectures and exercises as well as passing the final module examinations, the completion of a Master's thesis is required.
Credit Points
According to the legal requirements, students must provide evidence of a total of 300 credits from their Bachelor's and Master's degree courses in order to obtain a Master's degree. In some cases, this can lead to a so-called CP gap. In this case, DTMD University offers students the opportunity to apply for additional credit points through practical work until the Master's thesis is submitted.
The topic of the Master's thesis
The Master's thesis enables the author to independently work on and solve a problem from the respective subject area using scientific methods within a specified period of time.
Upon application, DTMD University can also recognize degree programs as consecutive that are not in the same subject area as the completed Bachelor's degree program.
In this case, the applicant must provide evidence of a suitable connection in terms of content and subject matter.
