When selecting students for the B.Sc. Business Administration and Economics and B.Sc. Information Systems degree programmes, the assessment results in the examination modules of the first three semesters are given priority in the assessment.

In the case of master’s students, the bachelor’s grade in particular is taken into account, as well as any assessments completed during the master’s programme to date.
