Language Requirements

Entry Requirements

English Proficiency

Per NBS's selection criteria for English-taught modules (used for incoming/exchange students and to select English modules within German-taught degrees): TOEFL iBT 72+, IELTS 5.5+, Cambridge Certificate 160+, or a DAAD language certificate at B2. English proficiency at CEFR B2 is required generally for English-taught content. The new MBA Modern Leadership programme (English-taught, currently in accreditation, expected to start summer semester 2026) requires English at B2 level, but no standardized test-score minimum is published for it; NBS directs applicants to contact the International Office for specifics.

German Language

For German-taught modules, NBS's selection criteria require German at CEFR B2 via Goethe-Zertifikat, DSH-1, or TestDaF (TDN 3-4); holders of the German Abitur are exempt. Separately, NBS states that because it does not offer study programmes fully taught in English, international students pursuing a full degree (Bachelor of Business Administration, or Master's in Controlling and Finance) need sufficient German language skills to complete their studies, without specifying an exact certificate/level for degree-seeking applicants beyond this statement.
