Please note in particular: When applying for the study programme Management & Data Science, you can achieve up to 18 additional points in the selection procedure through an above-average result in our subject-specific online admission test (Leuphana Data Science Online Study Aptitude Test) and thus improve your chances of being admitted to the study programme in Lüneburg. The Leuphana Data Science Online Study Aptitude Test measures subject-related skills in the fields of maths, statistics and programming. All applicants who have properly applied will receive an invitation in June with an access code to take the test. Taking the test is free of charge and voluntary. This year's test is expected to be held on 11th June 2024 at 2pm (CEST).
