Candidates are required to major in three subjects:

You may choose from the following mandatory subjects:

- Mathematik (non-restricted)
- Physik (non-restricted)
- Praktische Philosophie (non-restricted)
- Wirtschaft-Politik
Please note that some of these subjects may not be combined with others. This particularly applies to the following so-called "optional" subjects which may be combined with only one mandatory subject:
- Französisch (non-restricted)
- Geographie
- Kunst (non-restricted and admission from Kunstakademie Münster required)
- Musik (non-restricted and aptitude test required)
- Niederländisch (non-restricted)
- Sport (non-restricted andaptitude test required)
When applying for admission to a BA HRSGe programme via the Application Portal, you must indicate all of your desired subject combinations in case one of the subjects is a subkect with restricted admission. A non-restricted subject can be changed to another non-restricted subject at enrolment.
Example:
You are interested in majoring in Biologie, Deutsch and Englisch in a BA HRSGe programme. You wish to combine Bildungswissenschaften with two of your majors. Bildungswissenschaften is then automatically added to the combination. This means you will be applying for the three combinations:

If you wish to major in two non-restricted subjects, it is not required to submit an application because Bildungswissenschaften is a non-restricted degree subject.
