Further procedure

After uni-assist has issued you the university admittance credentials, your documents are automatically transferred to the Cologne Business School. After we receive your application, our employees in the admissions office then check your documents and invite you to an assessment centre if required. Your capability to study is tested here in an oral and written examination section. Alternatively, you also have the option of conducting a telephone interview instead of the assessment centre. Once you have completed the assessment centre or telephone interview successfully, you will receive an offer for a place in the course from the CBS. Inn order to secure your place in the course, you must confirm it within a predefined period.

We can provide you with an accommodation list for your stay in Cologne during the assessment centre.
