Retaking the Leuphana Study Skills test

You applied last year, attended selection days, but didn’t receive an offer. Or perhaps you feel your test result didn’t reflect your actual ability. Can you retake the Leuphana Study Skills test again? Can you carry your old result forward? Here’s exactly how Leuphana handles repeat applicants.

Can I reapply and retake the Leuphana Study Skills test?

Yes — completely. Each application year is treated as an independent process. There is no disadvantage or stigma attached to reapplying.

Is a second application attempt worth it?

Almost always yes. The gap between first and second attempts is typically significant — not because you get smarter, but because you’re no longer surprised. You know the format, you know how the time pressure feels, and you’ve (hopefully) prepared more seriously. Additionally, a second year often brings new bonus point opportunities: a voluntary service year, a stay abroad, or additional work experience.

What If I couldn’t attend the Leuphana selection day due to illness?

Leuphana makes provision for health-related absences. With a valid medical certificate, you can contact the student services office to discuss alternatives, including the online ITB-ASET test as a substitute.
