If your application is successful, you will be invited to one of our Assessment Centres. We arrange multiple Assessment Centres each year for your convenience. These take place on our campus and consist of an interview, an English test, an analytical test and a mathematical test. The Assessment Centre is free of charge.
As we have incorporated an English language test into our Assessment Centre, you are not required to submit an English certificate with your application. If you do not meet our English Language requirements at our Assessment Centre, we will get in touch with you to discuss further options.
If you are not able to attend an Assessment Centre here in Frankfurt, you can instead submit one of the following test results with your online application: SAT, ACT or TestAS (core test and Economics module), plus a standardised English test (TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge or Pearson).
Due to the current situation regarding the Coronavirus, we are now offering certain Assessment Centres online. We encourage you to still complete your application normally and we will inform you as soon as possible, in which form your Assessment Centre will take place.
Alternatively, it may be also possible to organise an Assessment Centre in your own country for a fee of 130€. Please select this option when filling out the online application form and we will try our best to make it happen.
To get an idea of the types of questions you might encounter in the analytical test we have provided a few example exercises.

Quantitative analysis is a core component of the Bachelor of Science at Frankfurt School. During the first two semesters students are introduced to advanced topics in the modules "Mathematics" and "Statistics and Probability". This requires a good understanding and advanced level knowledge of mathematics, as well as mastery of elementary mathematical concepts and calculation techniques. We know from experience that there can be significant gaps between school knowledge and the requirements of the module. That’s why we offer a preparatory course in mathematics. In a compact form, elementary and some fundamental concepts and techniques of applied (business) mathematics and statistics are provided, refreshed and practised. The topics covered in the preparatory course include:
A thorough understanding of these topics is the basis for successful participation in the modules “Mathematics” and “Statistics and Probability”.
