What
to study
Find your degree programme
Languages or literature, philosophy or sociology, engineering or MBA — the possibilities are endless. Can’t make up your mind? Information on the various degree programmes or an orientation test will help you decide.
Online self-assessments (OSA) allow you to find out for yourself whether a particular programme of study suits you and your interests. These tests involve answering questions about your strengths, expectations, and goals. At the end, you will be given an evaluation that will show you whether the chosen subject suits you or whether something else might be a better fit. Several universities in Saxony offer OSA tests:
- TU Dresden: for the degree programmes German studies, electrical engineering, and mechatronics,
- Leipzig University: OSA tests for economics degree programmes as well as philosophy, sociology, digital humanities, computer science, physics, and mathematics,
- Chemnitz University of Technology: Computer science self-assessment.
If you have any questions or problems, you can always contact the student advisory service at your university.
