Entry Requirements

English Proficiency

For the university's small set of English-taught master's programmes (English and American Studies, European Economic Studies, International Software Systems Science, Sociology and Social Research, Strategy & Sustainability, plus some double/joint degrees), the official FAQ lists IELTS, TOEFL, UNIcert, or Cambridge Certificate as accepted proof of English proficiency, referenced to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). No specific minimum scores (e.g. IELTS band, TOEFL iBT score) are published on the university's general admissions pages -- applicants must check the examination regulations (Pruefungsordnung) of their specific target programme. The site explicitly states that a 'Medium of Instruction' letter confirming prior studies were taught in English is NOT sufficient proof, and generic 'English proficiency letters' are not accepted either, since they do not reference CEFR. Language certificates must be no more than two years old at the time of application. PTE Academic and Duolingo English Test are not mentioned as accepted options on any page checked.
