Bachelor’s Degree

I have successfully acquired the Bachelor qualifications. For the Master’s degree admission, I have successfully completed the participation in an aptitude test.

In order to be admitted to the aptitude test, I had to fulfil the following requirements:

(Technical) university entrance qualification followed by at least 3 years of relevant work experience or
Completed vocational training with a final grade of good (grade 2.5 or better), followed by at least 2 years of professional experience and, subsequently, at least 3 years of relevant professional experience.

Professional practice is relevant if it is sufficiently related to the content of the course of study and if, during its course, knowledge and skills have been acquired which are conducive to the course of study. A relevant professional experience therefore requires an activity with a high degree of relevance to information technology.

Subtest 1: Written examination in mathematics (written exam)
Duration: 90 minutes
Preliminary course: Preparatory course see page 4, Online bridge course Mathematics
Content: The content of the preparation course can be found on the zfh website at
https://www.zfh.de/studienfinder/studiengang/detail/brueckenkursmathematik-online/hochschule-fuer-technik-und-wirtschaft-des-saarlandes/ proudly presents
Sample exams are not available. Tools such as pocket calculators, formula collections etc. are not permitted.
Recognition: Mathematics courses from a previous university course,
even if it has been aborted, may be recognised provided that they
a total of at least 10 ECTS points, or
8 SWS had and
have been successfully completed (note “passed with success”)
or grade; pure attendance certificates are not sufficient).
Extent and success are to be proven by official documents of the university (for proof possibilities see checklist of application documents),
at https://www.hochschule-trier.de/go/anmeldung). The Examining Board decides on recognition. For recognition you need
not to take the math exam. The examination of the recognition of your mathematics achievements is free of charge.

Subtest 2: Admission work
Goal: The admission work is an individual work in which you should show that
you are in a position to submit an application within a specified period of time.
to work independently on a technical problem using the principles of scientific work.
