English-Speaking Cultures

Proof of English language skills also applies to applications from advanced learners ("lateral entrants") and is only not required for applicants who have obtained their university entrance qualification in English (e.g. British "A-Levels"), or have a university degree from a university in an English-speaking country. English language skills can also be proven by having completed English as a continued foreign language in the basic or advanced course with at least 11 points (either the grading of the Abitur examination or the average of the grades from the qualification phase is used as a basis; in the case of the latter, from a value of 10.5 it is rounded up to 11 points).
