      Tools for student selection and career advice

      We develop online tools for student selection and career advice.

      The choice of the right degree programme by prospective students and the selection of the right students by universities are important decisions. Our research and our tools support prospective students and universities in making the right choice.

      Which degree programme should I study, which apprenticeship should I choose? All students ask themselves these questions at the end of their school education and are often overwhelmed with the answers. We have launched various research projects and developed specific tools to provide these people with effective support.

      Universities are also interested in pupils making the best possible choice of degree programme. In addition, some universities can and must actively select their students in some subjects through selection procedures. We have also developed various valid and efficient solutions for these purposes.
