Online Self Assessment for Bachelor applications
Online Self Assessment
The FH Navigator is a tool for orientation and self-reflection (Online Self Assessment = OSA). You work online on questions and tasks from study-relevant topics. The results are evaluated and you receive feedback. Participation is free of charge and anonymous. We would like to give you the opportunity to compare your attitude and your own knowledge of the school material with the requirements of your studies. More information at: https://www.fh-aachen.de/osa
Numerus Clausus
Numerus Clausus (NC values)
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatrics offers degree programmes with and without admission restrictions. We therefore often receive enquiries about which NC value applies to which degree programme. We refer all those who are interested to the page of the Student Secretariat about the Numerus Clausus.
- Programmes without admission restriction: Master Mechatronics (3 semesters)
- Programmes with admission restrictions: All Bachelor's and Master's programmes
