MSc Applied Psychology
OSA - our Online-Self-Assessment
The OSA serves as a self-selection tool and information medium to help prospective students decide if our program is a good fit for them.
Our OSA is divided into three components
- a survey of expectations and interests
- a preliminary knowledge test, which asks about the psychological, methodological and linguistic knowledge on which the study program is based
- supplementary information about the study program
Participation in the OSA is mandatory for all applicants and must be documented in the application process. The test results themselves have no influence on the selection process and are therefore not included in the admission decision and the allocation of study places.
Please note: The OSA takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete.
Please allow yourself sufficient time to consciously deal with the contents and formats when completing the OSA.
Please note!
Please use a private email address to register and sign up for the OSA.
For applicants of Bielefeld University this means:
- Please do not register for university events with your usual data.
- Please create a new account for which you use a private e-mail address and not your e-mail address at Bielefeld University.
For applicants from other institutions this means:
- Please create a new account with a private e-mail address that will be used exclusively for the OSA.
