Additional information:
You are exempted from providing the mentioned tests if you have obtained a university degree in an English-language program in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, UK, or the USA. The German language skills requirement is waived if you have obtained a high school or university degree in a German language program in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. If you cannot provide proof now then you will have to provide it within one year after enrollment. So you may also apply without German language skills, but then you will need to learn some German in parallel to your studies in economics.
