- Those with at least two years of relevant vocational training and three years of experience must pass an aptitude test for subject-specific admission (Section 58 Para. 2 No. 6).
Until the new ordinance on the entrance exam and trial study programme is issued, the aptitude test will be conducted as currently specified.
