Admission to the program is based on the Numerus Clausus procedure if there are more applicants than available spots. In this procedure, the overall grade is calculated as follows:
- 60% grade on the bachelor’s degree certificate (or preliminary grade from a preliminary transcript)
- 40% grade equivalent from the academic aptitude test
The study aptitude test is conducted via an online aptitude test. The online aptitude test is designed to assess the applicant’s subject-specific aptitude. To this end, specific subject-related qualifications are assessed through subject-specific questions in the areas of business logistics, logistics information systems, and the application of project management methods (based on complex supply chain issues) in the form of an electronic exam. The online aptitude test is conducted exclusively in English and lasts 60 minutes.
