Choosing what to study

Self Assessment - the test for self evaluation

Self-assessments offer tests for prospective students who do not yet know exactly which subject is right for them. They give prospective students an impression of the questions they will be dealing with within a particular degree programme.

Two types of tests are available for this purpose. Study interest tests can help you to narrow down the study options for yourself. Study aptitude tests can help you to assess whether a particular degree programme matches your own abilities and interests.

Important to know: These self-tests are not a substitute for counselling, but serve as a guide by testing basic knowledge relevant to your studies as well as organisational and logical skills. Not all personal inclinations and interests can be recorded. However, the results of the self-tests can serve as a basis for further counselling.
