Determining the equivalence of certificates/degrees from foreign countries can take up to three weeks. For this reason we recommend that you upload the relevant documentation in a timely manner.

    Once we have received your documents, you will receive an e-mail requesting that you log in and choose a date for the computer-based admissions test.

    The aptitude test is multiple choice, filled out on a computer and evaluates your existing level of knowledge about business administration.

    • Alois Geyer / Michael Hanke / Edith Littich / Michaela Nettekoven: Grundlagen der Finanzierung. Linde Verlag, Aktuelle Auflage.

    We see ourselves as the leading university of applied sciences for management & communication. Therefore, you can expect a particularly challenging admissions procedure.
