In order to obtain a Master's degree as a Phase I student, you have to follow the Master's regulations (see the slides at the bottom of the page) of your university. You need to obtain 120 credits in total, out of which 30 credits is the Master's thesis. This means that you have to attend a bit more courses apart from the ones contained in the BMS Phase I study regulations. 

As a TU student, you can obtain 20 credits for attending the BMS Fridays, after doing your qualifying exam.

As an FU student, you can do the same, but only for 15 credits.

As a HU student, you can also obtain 15 credits for attending BMS Fridays. However, this is less automatic and depends on the decision of Prof. Schüth. Ask the HU Liaison Officer in advance, in order to decide how many credits you need!

You have to do your Master's in the university where your Master's thesis supervisor works. If you were originally registered at another university in the beginning of Phase I, you can change university before registering your thesis.

You can also change university between your Master's and your PhD, but usually this is more difficult because it also involves a change of supervisor.

Master regulations at FU (German version, with full enumeration of courses) 

Note: 

1)The BMS basic course Stochastic Processes I correspond to the Basic module Stochastik-II at FU, and (see the 12th page here)

2) The BMS basic course Stochastic Processes II correspond to the advance module Stochastische Analysis at FU, (see the 12th page here)

Master regulations at HU in German (valid from September 2014, with all courses):

1) 20 credits have to be done from courses outside Mathematics. E.g., one German course each semester (6 credits each) would do it. However, this rule is not always taken seriously. There have been students who completed the Master's at HU without doing any course outside Mathematics. If you want to do your Master's at HU, inform yourself at Thibaut about the current state of this issue! Also, 15 credits can be obtained for BMS Fridays - but not as easily and automatically as for FU and TU students, also ask Thibaut.

2) If you have attended a course somewhere else and want to register at HU for credits, we recommend you to pick the course of HU that is closed to the (TU/FU/else)-course in content and meet Prof. Schüth.  Try to convince her.  An approval from an instructor of that course at HU is very helpful.
