Don't worry, we provide mentors for students who have been admitted via M3. They will help you catch up on the content and advise you on which courses to take to bring you up to the same level as the other students within 1-2 semesters. In the past, this has worked very well for numerous successful graduates.
Absolutely. With the TM-WISO and GMAT tests (insert link), you massively increase your chances of admission, as they are included in the selection process at 40% in addition to the bachelor's grade (60%). You also cannot fail the tests, but the result is given as a percentage of the achievable points. In the M3 admission category in particular, experience has shown that even a rather mediocre result massively increases your chances of admission. In addition, you can also apply to other universities with both tests.
We assume that this is normally the case. In principle, however, it is also possible for students in admission category M3 to specialize in any possible specialization of the HMM. However, prerequisites, required additional courses must then be clarified with the person responsible for the specialization there.
Then make an individual consultation appointment right away via ZOOM at sodienst@uni-hohenheim.de. The appointments take place about once a month and we reserve the right to conduct the consultation in small groups if necessary.
