Should the average grade of these two courses not lead to any clear assignment (in the case that more students have the same average grade), an additional criterion will be taken into account (grade of AMC II or, if required, the total average grade) in order to determine the ranking.

Admission BBE students

If the number of interested students exceeds the available capacity in a given semester, the students will be ranked by their average grade from the courses Financial Reporting & Analysis and Decision Making and Behaviour in Business and their admission will be based on their rankings. Should the average grade of these two courses not lead to any clear assignment (in the case that more students have the same average grade), an additional criterion will be taken into account (grade of Decision Making and Behaviour in Business or, if required, the total average grade) in order to determine the ranking.
