Detailed description of the aptitude test

Passing the aptitude test is a prerequisite for enrolling on the EBP or CALA degree programme. The aim of the aptitude test is to determine your aptitude for the specific degree programme: besides testing your language skills, we will also assess your personal motivation and how you approach specialist issues.

How and when can I register for the aptitude test?

Registrations for the aptitude test are made online during the application period from February to the end of May each year (exact date see above).

In order to start the registration process, simply register with our myFH Portal and request an FH ID. You will then be directed to the online registration. You can use your FH ID to login to the myFH Portal at any time and check the status of your registration for the aptitude test, and later to start your application for a place in the degree programme (enrolment).

Which documents should I submit when registering for the aptitude test?

At the end of the process for registering online for the aptitude test, you will receive a list of the documents that you need to upload as a PDF file:

  • (Restricted) university entry certificate (Fachabitur-/Abiturzeugnis) (If you have not yet received your final certificate, please attach a certificate of your grades issued by your school)
  • A passport photo
  • Your Curriculum Vitae in tabular form
  • Proof of extracurricular activities outside school, voluntary service or periods abroad, where applicable
  • LANGUAGE CERTIFICATES – if language proficiency is not demonstrated by school grades

When will the aptitude test take place?

This year for the first time the aptitude test includes a video upload.  This will take place in the period from February to the beginning of July.

Immediately after submitting all of your application documents, you will be sent information about the video upload by e-mail. Please remember to check your emails regularly to receive information about this.

When do I have to decide which partner university I want to attend?

European Business Programme (EBP):

On the day that you upload your video you must also decide which partner university you want to attend for the English or Spanish-speaking part of the programme. You can specify two preferences. Please read up about our partner universities beforehand.

German-Latin American Business Administration degree programme (CALA):

Students on the CALA programme have until the end of the third semester to decide which partner university they wish to attend.

What does the aptitude test involve?

In a 3-minute video, you will answer three questions related to international business,  entrepreneurial thinking and also on your motivation for the degree program. You will receive the questions immediately before you upload the video.

What language skills do I need?

Languages of instruction at Münster University of Applied Sciences:
Courses are held in German and English.

Foreign language skills depending on the degree programme:

  • Spanish: language level B1
  • Portuguese: language level B1
  • English: language level B2
  • German: language level C1 (for international applicants)

Applicants who did not obtain their university entrance qualification at a German-speaking institution must, in addition to the entry requirements set out in paragraph 1, demonstrate sufficient knowledge of German at level ‘C1’ of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), e.g. through the ‘German as a Foreign Language’ test (TestDAF) with an average score (TDN) of ‘4’ across the sections ‘Reading Comprehension’, ‘Listening Comprehension’, ‘Written Expression’ and ‘Oral Expression’, or by means of an equivalent qualification.

Courses at Spanish and Latin American partner universities:
These are usually offered in Spanish or Portuguese (Brazil). Only in exceptional cases are courses offered in English. A language level of at least B1 in Spanish or Portuguese is therefore required.

Language courses during your studies in Münster:
Spanish classes are offered during the four semesters at FH Münster. However, there are no Portuguese classes.

Proof of language proficiency:
Language level B1 in Spanish or Portuguese or B2 in English can be proven by a school grade or a language certificate.

You should

  • be able to read and understand a daily newspaper in the relevant foreign language,
  • be able to understand a film in the relevant foreign language,
  • have a sound knowledge of grammar.

When will I get the results of my aptitude test?

You will receive the results of the examination by email as soon as possible, but no later than June. Places at partner universities will be allocated shortly thereafter.

The earlier you apply, the better your chances of getting a place at your chosen partner university.

If you have achieved an average of 11 points in maths in the last two years, you will be accepted immediately if you pass the video aptitude test.

How and when can I register for the degree programme?

Candidates who have passed the aptitude test and who can provide the necessary documentation can apply online for a study place in International Business and Management between the beginning of June and 15 August. Please note: Just because you have passed the aptitude test does not mean that you have already enrolled for the degree programme; you must enrol in order to embark on the degree programme at Münster University of Applied Sciences in the winter semester.
