A master\u2019s programme \u2013 yes? No? And, if yes: Which one? This decision shapes your life \u2013 like a partner in a relationship does. #univie-staff Barbara Hamp describes which master\u2019s programme is comparable to which model of living together and, therefore, makes it easier to arrive at a (relationship) decision.<\/p>\n

If we compare a degree programme to a relationship, we could say that the bachelor\u2019s programme is the phase of getting to know each other. In this first phase, we lay the foundations for a successful partnership and gain first experiences. During the master\u2019s programme, the relationship is getting serious. The final major project means moving in with your partner for the first time (with your master\u2019s thesis and master\u2019s degree).<\/p>\n

A master\u2019s programme shapes your journey through life.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Like in many partnerships, after the first phase you have to ask yourself: Would I like to go ahead with my partner and our chosen way of life?<\/p>\n

❗ If you do not enrol in a master\u2019s programme after completing your bachelor\u2019s programme, it does not mean that you break up the relationship. The common basis [going on the first journey together \u2013 the bachelor\u2019s degree \u2013 went well] is enough for a friendly relationship and for going through [work] life together. <\/div>\n

After having decided on a master\u2019s programme, the next question arises: Which master\u2019s programme<\/a>, i.e. which longer-term relationship model, suits me best? After all, we all know the saying: Test therefore, who join forever (or at least for two years). There are some restrictions, but also possibilities: Your experiences from previous relationships (the bachelor\u2019s programme) influence your choice of a master\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n

Partner-Matching<\/h2>\n

During the admission procedure<\/a>, we will check whether the partnership of your choice is legally possible (we check your previous education and other admission requirements, such as language skills or the completion of an entrance examination). The algorithms for this matching procedure are specified in the curriculum of the respective master\u2019s programme<\/a>. You can also check them in the profiles describing the master\u2019s programmes. The Master Access Guide<\/a> provides a brief overview.<\/p>\n

The relationship models can vary greatly.<\/p>\n
