From the winter semester 2023/24, the result of a local aptitude test will be taken into account when applying - students can find all the important information here

Important: The test will not take place for applications for the winter semester 2025/26 and will not be taken into account.

From winter semester 23/24, the University of Siegen plans to include the result of a local aptitude test in the application process. This is not the Germany-wide aptitude test for the Bachelor of Psychology. You can find further details in the statutes on the selection procedure for the Master's degree in Psychology with a focus on Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy.

45% of the test result is added to the overall score to determine the ranking order, 55% is calculated from the total points (grade points according to Appendix 1 + credit weighting points according to Appendix 2). Due to the additive nature of the test, participation can only improve the result. The test requires a binding registration and participation is by invitation only. Participation in the test is not linked to the right to a study place and does not include the examination of the special requirements for admission to the Master's program.
