Proficiency test in business
If you wish to study Master level courses of School of Business or Department of Industrial Management and you are either Bachelor level student or Master, but have different major, it is required to pass the proficiency test in business.
The proficiency test is for the exchange students who have not yet completed their Bachelor’s degree and aim to participate in Master’s level courses in the International Business and Technology Management (IBTM) programme at LUT. By passing the test students show that they have the sufficient knowledge to participate in the Master’s level courses without having the B.Sc. degree.
The test is a multiple choice exam which assesses the students’ basic knowledge in the field of business and industrial management. The questions test bachelor level knowledge mainly through basic theories, terms and concepts.
The test is arranged at LUT on Tuesday, August 21. It takes 60-90 minutes and no dictionaries are allowed. Test date for the spring semester students will be announced later.
