WU to change selection procedures for bachelor’s programs

11. May 2020
Campus WU August 2014
The measures taken to curb the spread of the coronavirus will affect the selection procedures for admission to WU’s bachelor’s programs.

The admission deadlines for WU’s bachelor’s programs remain the same. All applicants have until May 19 to register online for the selection procedure (Matura or secondary school leaving certificate is not yet required for this step) and pay the 50 application fee. If after May 19 the number of applicants for any one bachelor’s program exceeds the number of places prescribed by the government for that program, applicants for all 3 programs have until June 2 to take the online self-assessment test (OSA). The OSA is intended to give applicants a realistic impression of the content of the program and of how the program is organized. It includes questions about applicants’ expectations and interests, and it also offers exercises that test essential skills required for the program (e.g. reading comprehension in German and English).

In addition to taking the OSA, applicants for the English-​taught bachelor’s program are also required to answer 3 questions on their motivation via the online registration tool. If after June 2 the number of applicants who have completed the OSA (+ answered the questions on their motivation for the BBE program) exceeds the number of available places, the final phase of the selection procedure will be initiated.
