Mandatory admission test
What are mandatory entrance tests as part of the admission procedure for applicants for study places?
An entrance test is conducted at the University of Bremen for the selection of available study place applications. The test takes place on one or more dates at the test center. After all test dates have been completed, the selection committee proposes a ranking for admission based on the evaluation of the entrance test.
- Selection of suitable students and thus reduction of the dropout rate
- Improving the chances of admission compared to graduates of universities with higher grade point averages (Master's programs) or improving the chances of admission compared to applicants with higher grade point averages (Bachelor's programs).
Prospective students apply online at the University of Bremen (e.g. at www.uni-bremen.de/master) and receive information and an invitation to the entrance test from the selection committee. If required, students can familiarize themselves with the test system and question types via an anonymous and freely accessible online-test. The examination takes place under examination conditions in the test center, the login data usually results from last name and applicant number.
