Do I have to take a trial course?

For vocationally qualified persons with subject-linked university access, a trial study is obligatory in addition to the counselling interview.

How does the trial study at the OTH Amberg-Weiden work?

• The trial study programme is used to determine the student's suitability to study.
• The trial course lasts two semesters
• For Bachelor's degree programmes, a minimum of 15 credit points per semester must be achieved. 
• This means that at least 30 credit points must be achieved in order to prove suitability for study after the second semester. This corresponds to about half of the credit points required by the study and examination regulations.
