Entry Requirements
English Proficiency
No standardized English test (IELTS/TOEFL/PTE/Cambridge/Duolingo) score is published on the official site for degree-seeking Bachelor's or Master's admission. Programmes are primarily German-taught and German proficiency is required instead (see german_requirement). Exchange students must be "proficient in English" per the International Students page, but no minimum test score is specified there either.
German Language
Applicants from non-German-speaking countries must prove German proficiency, e.g. DSH-2 or TestDaF TDN 4, per the Foreign Applicants page. The Master's programme (Strategic Design) explicitly requires "Proof of German proficiency (TestDaF 4/DSH 2)" for holders of foreign university diplomas. Degree-seeking exchange/incoming exchange students are not required to speak German (courses offered in English, free German instruction provided during the semester).
