Selection in Practice

The student applicants already gain a foretaste of what to expect in their studies and in working life during the selection procedure at the FHDW Hannover. Ina Ochsenreiter, writing for the education magazine “BildungsSPIEGEL”, looked over the shoulders of the professors, industry representatives and applicants during an assessment centre for the study courses Computer Sciences and Computer Sciences for Business at the FHDW Hannover.
