Please note that the information (<strong>address, username, password</strong>) in that e-mail will be necessary to login into the test system.</p> <p>The test consists of tasks from the fields of mechanics, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. Corresponding to the given topics technical exercises and multiple-choice questions have to be solved. The country setting of your browser determines whether decimal numbers are separated by a comma or a full stop when entering requested values. To take the test, you will need a PC or notebook with stable Internet access.</p> <p>The test takes two hours, and two time slots will be offered to accommodate the different international time zones. You can only take the test in one of these slots. You can log in and start the test at any time between 09:00 and 09:30 CET/CEST (Bremen local time) for the first slot, or between 15:00 and 15:30 CET/CEST (Bremen local time) for the second slot. Once you have started, you will have 120 minutes to complete the test.</p> <p>Only thirty students are admitted per semester, so passing the test does not automatically lead to admission. However, for students accepted for this study program it is possible to keep the positive test result for re-application in the following semester.<br /> </p> Content
