Applications for April 2027

Applications for the MIDE programme starting in April 2027 will be possible from 1 July 2026 until 30 September 2026. The link to our online application will be available on this webpage. Please make sure to have the supporting documents at hand for the application process.

DAAD funding (EPOS scholarship) through the MIDE program will not be available for this admission cycle. Applicants should therefore plan their studies without considering financial support for the current intake and explore alternative funding opportunities if needed.

Admission Requirements

To be eligible for admission, applicants need to have

  • obtained a first university degree with 180 ECTS (or an equivalent qualification).
  • A minimum of 15 ECTS credits in Economics. For applicants from outside the ECTS system: at least three Economics-related modules.
  • Proof of proficiency in English. If English was the language of instruction for your previous degree, no further proof is required.

Deadlines

30 September 2026

How to Apply

  1. Check Your Eligibility

    Gather all required documents, including transcripts, CV, motivation letter, and proof of English proficiency.
  3. Submit the Online Application (Available July–September)
    Complete and submit the online form during the application period. All MIDE applications will be handled by HTW Berlin. An application via Uni-Assist is not required.

Application Documents

Please attach the following electronic documents when submitting your MIDE application:

  • Letter of Motivation
    Maximum two pages, personally signed and dated, explaining your motivation for applying and your specific academic and career goals.
  • Transcript of Records and Degree Certificate(s)
    Including your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). If these documents are not in English or German, official translations must be provided.

    In Europass format, signed and dated by you.

Apply Without Certified Hardcopies

You do not need to submit certified hardcopies of your university documents when applying. Electronic copies are sufficient for processing your application to the MIDE programme — and, if applicable, for the DAAD scholarship.

Only applicants who are admitted and accept their study place will be required to submit certified hardcopies of their university documents, along with the signed study contract.

Admissions evaluation criteria

Admission to the programme is based on the following criteria:

  • Cumulative grade point average (40%)
  • Number of economics courses taken (25%)
  • Letter of motivation (35%)
