gestartet. Bis 31. Mai hatten die Bewerber/innen Zeit, ein Motivationsschreiben abzugeben. Dies haben 3.444 Personen gemacht. Nachdem diese Zahl unter den 3.674 Plätzen liegt, findet der geplante Aufnahmetest nicht statt. In den nächsten Tagen werden die Motivationsschreiben
überprüft. Die Personen, die fristgerecht ein gültiges Schreiben abgegeben haben, erhalten Bescheid, dass sie sich für das Studium zulassen können.

mit den Vorjahreszahlen: Im vergangenen Jahr hatten 79% der registrierten Personen ein Motivationsschreiben abgegeben, heuer sind es knapp 94%. Wir gehen davon aus, dass sich im Endeffekt auch mehr Personen als im Vorjahr (SJ 2015/16: 2.607 Personen) zum Bachelorstudium
„Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften“ zulassen werden. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Sciences on May 15. Applicants had until May 31 to submit a letter of motivation. A total of 3,444 letters of motivation were submitted by the deadline, and as this number is lower than the 3,764 places available, the scheduled entrance exam will not need
to be held after all. Over the next few days we will be reviewing the letters of motivation. All applicants who have submitted a valid letter on time will be notified that they can enroll in the bachelor’s program.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">This year’s numbers have shown that charging a registration fee makes potential students more likely to complete the application process. Last year, only 79% of all registered applicants
submitted a letter of motivation, this year it was close to 94%. We also predict that a larger number of students will actually go through with enrollment to the bachelor’s program in Business, Economics and Social Sciences than last year (2015/16 academic
year: 2,607 students). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
