Additional information:
Applicants whose mother tongue is not modern standard Chinese must have sufficient knowledge of it. Adequate language skills are demonstrated by passing an examination at level 5 of the Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì (HSK); instead of proof of an HSK examination, the required language skills at level 5 of the HSK can be demonstrated by successfully taking the practical language proficiency test of the Georg August University. Applicants whose mother tongue is not English must have sufficient knowledge of the English language. Applicants with a study or professional stay of at least one year in an English-speaking country within the last three years before the receipt of the application for admission are exempt from the requirement to prove a test. Evidence of the Chinese language must be provided within one semester after enrollment; in this case the enrollment is conditional until the missing certificates have been submitted by the applicant. German language skills are not to be proven.
