Positioning tests
A helpful guide for your study choice
Did you know that for some of these programmes, you’ll need to take an entry test (mandatory placement test) before the start of the academic year? This test mainly assesses your mathematics and science knowledge. It helps you understand what you already do well—and where you might need a bit more practice to start strong.
The result is not binding. This means you can still enrol in the programme, regardless of your score.
