Inquiring minds may wonder whether it is possible to apply for the master's program in Exercise Science & Training without having yet received their bachelor's degree certificate. The answer is yes: at Würzburg University, prospective students who are still awaiting their bachelor's degree certificate at the time of the master's program application deadline are welcome to apply. However, they must submit their bachelor's degree certificate later, no later than September 15th.
If, for any reason, the student is unable to obtain their bachelor's degree certificate by September 15th, they must furnish either (a) preliminary confirmation of their grade from the examination office (Referat 2.3 Prüfungsamt), if it has already been determined or (b) a preliminary confirmation from their bachelor thesis supervisor indicating that the thesis will receive at least a grade of XX if the thesis has not yet been graded by the deadline. This confirmation must be submitted to the examination office, which will then provide the aforementioned preliminary confirmation [cf. (a)].
Please keep in mind that while this is the process that Würzburg University follows, it may not necessarily be the same at other universities. Thus, students from other institutions are advised to contact their university's examination office for guidance.
