Additional information:
English language proficiency can also be proven with a bachelor's degree taught in English, with a double bachelor's degree in which at least one year must have been completed in an English-speaking country, a master's degree taught in English, a German school leaving certificate (e.g., Abiturzeugnis; after the end of class 11 [G8] or class 12 [G9] at least 5 points in German grading system must be demonstrated), the International/ European Baccalaureat (accepted), or a school leaving certificate from a member state of the European Union (the school leaving certificate explicitly states English language proficiency at level B2 in a separate sentence; only the grade is not sufficient). If the higher education entrance qualification were obtained at Rudolf Steiner schools (Waldorf school), the grade at the end of the last class with at least 5 points would be considered. The native speaker has to be verified by school certificates. Check the course website for the language certificates accepted for the semester abroad.
