Frequently Asked Questions
How much of the tuition fee is covered by scholarships?
Making education accessible to everyone is one of our core goals. That’s why we offer scholarships of up to €1,500, as well as a Regional Price Grant of up to €8,000—depending on where you live. You can learn more in our financial support section or by reaching out to our team.
Can you provide me with a visa to study in Germany?
The German Immigration Office requires students to attend in-person classes in Germany to be eligible for a student visa. Since our programs are 100% online and do not require physical attendance, you are not eligible for a German student visa through Tomorrow University.
Can I apply if I don’t have a previous university degree?
No, a previous undergraduate university degree is required to apply. Although applicants without a degree but with vocational training and relevant professional experience may sometimes be eligible for special entrance exams, this does not apply to this program. Therefore, we cannot accept applications without a completed university degree.
How many ECTS do I need to graduate in total?
According to German higher education law, one needs 300 ECTS in total to graduate with a master’s degree. For example, someone with a 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree needs to complete a 120 ECTS master’s degree in order to reach 300 ECTS overall. In some countries an undergraduate degree is worth the equivalent of 210 or even 240 ECTS. In these cases we offer the option of taking a shorter, 90 ECTS program to reach the overall 300 ECTS.
Is the Impact Master in Applied Psychology accredited?
Our Master of Arts program is accredited through the Accreditation, Certification, and Quality Assurance Institute (ACQUIN), a reputable non-profit organization association comprising over 150 higher education institutions in Europe, recognizing the rigorous quality standards mandated by Germany’s Official Accreditation Council.
Is the Impact Master of Arts part-time or/and full-time?
- The 120 ECTS track can be completed in 24 months full-time or 30 months part-time.
- The accelerated 90 ECTS track can be completed in 18 months full-time or 24 months part-time.
What is the difference between the 120 ECTS and the 90 ECTS program?
- The 120 ECTS version is aimed at graduates with a first university degree of 180 ECTS. The 90 ECTS version is intended to give graduates with a previous undergraduate degree with 210 or more ECTS credits the opportunity to complete a shortened version of the Master of Arts program.
- The Calibration phase of the 90 ECTS version is shorter so that learners complete only one Impact Certificate, whereas learners in the 120 ECTS version get to choose three Impact Certificates of their choice in the Calibration phase.
What requirements do I need to fulfill to qualify for the Master of Arts?
- You need to hold an undergraduate degree of a minimum of 180 ECTS (or equivalent credits) in a subject broadly related to Psychlogy, and/or Business.
- You need to demonstrate sufficient English language skills (at least level B2 of the European Framework of Reference for Languages).
