Admission requirements

The Master’s programme “Hypnosystemic Counselling and Interventions” aims to provide a further education programme at an academic level for people who have the following qualifications:

  • National or equivalent foreign school-leaving certificate
  • Completion of an expert course (university course, course for further education at a university of applied sciences) of at least 60 ECTS credits
  • Aptitude to be determined by the course management, such as a university entrance qualification (Matura) or proven experience in the field of psychological counselling and a standardised entrance examination covering essential parts of the course and at least five years of professional experience in the field of social professions, in (management) positions in business, public administration or non-profit organisations.
