Placement tests

Please note: The placement tests only become relevant after your enrollment. You do not need to take any tests for your application!

For some courses, participation in a placement test is required.

The placement tests in English and other languages are used to compare the skills of students and to divide the students into the appropriate course levels. If necessary, interviews may be held to help determine the level. The English placement test is compulsory for all degree programs (with the exception of the Bachelor's degree program in International Management and the Master's programs).

With placement tests in mathematics and accounting, first semester students with prior knowledge may directly qualify for courses in the 1st or 2nd semester. By passing one of these placement tests, students are entitled to participate in subsequent courses.

Students without any prior knowledge or with minimal prior knowledge need not take part in a placement test. They can take a compact course before the start of the semester or a preparatory course during the semester. In the compact courses, knowledge is refreshed and verified with a final exam. This is comparable to the placement test.

In the compact courses before the start of the semester, knowledge is refreshed and completed with the placement test. Registration for the compact course is not automatically linked to registration for the placement test; please register for both. You can register for the preparatory course during the semester (the so-called propaedeutic course) together with the courses provided for in the curriculum. You will receive further information on this in the introductory course of your degree program. 

The placement test and compact courses require a seperate registration.
