The audition ("Vortanzen") is the second selection step. The aptitude test is the first selection of applicants made by the University. During this test, the anatomical and physical requirements as well as coordination are examined. An invitation to an audition will be sent out after the aptitude test has been passed. In the audition, the applicants who were successful in the aptitude tests are brought together and then the specific requirements for each of the study programmes are re-examined. A successful audition is one of the prerequisites for admission to a study programme.
