Master's Degree - Graduate Degree Programs
A graduate degree supplements the undergraduate degree and leads to the second highest university degree (Master). It can serve to scientifically deepen previous studies or open up new areas of knowledge.
At Freie Universität Berlin, there are a variety of Master's degree programs with different durations, admission requirements, and costs.
New study offers for the winter semester 2024/25 (partly conditional on approval by the senate administration responsible for higher education):Critical Dance Studies (M.A.)

Consecutive Master's Degree Programs
...are based on the content of the Bachelor's degree. They are therefore a continuation of the Bachelor's degree and allow students to deepen the knowledge they have already acquired.
