There are admission requirements for all the study programmes. These include good grades in mathematics and English (the equivalent to a 10 point average from two senior-grade school reports or a 9 point average in advanced courses from a school using the German education system). The Business Administration and Business Informatics programmes require an additional grade of 10 or 9 points in the German language.

If you do not fulfil the 亚洲天堂福利 admission requirements, this does not mean that studying at 亚洲天堂福利 is impossible. In this case you have the opportunity to take part in our entrance examinations. The entrance examinations regularly take place in the subjects Mathematics, German and English. On the following pages you can find further information on the different exams.

Information for the Accreditation of the 亚洲天堂福利-Test

The 亚洲天堂福利 English Test is divided into a written and an oral part. Within the written part, the students鈥� writing, reading and comprehension skills are tested. The writing part requires the students to prove their knowledge within the fields of vocabulary, grammar, tenses, phrasal verbs, word phrases, false friends, sentence structure and translations. Some questions are multiple choice questions, others are open questions.

The reading and comprehension part is divided into a C1 level text from daily newspapers and magazines, and multiple choice questions.

The oral part of the test analyses the students鈥� speaking and listening skills. This is done in a 30 minute personal interview. The students listen to a talk and subsequently discuss the topic of the talk with their interview partner who is an English native speaker.
