A certificate from a state or state-recognized school (e.g. German Abitur) or university that explicitly shows English language skills at level B2 of the CEFR also counts as proof of language proficiency. If the university entrance qualification or an English-language university degree was obtained in Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the United States of America, no further language certificate is required.
