Additional information:
The university accepts certificates from the above-mentioned testing centers, up to five years old. A document showing that applicants spent at least one year at an English-language university in an Anglophone country would also be sufficient (if you are unsure if your university qualifies, please enquire via email), as would a bachelor's degree in a subject that also has a C1 level English requirement. Applicants must prove their language skills upon application – a preliminary admission is not possible. Proof of German language skills is not necessary for the application. Depending on the region applicants would like to focus on, they may have to have additional language skills to take individual modules (Portuguese and Spanish at least B2, Arabic at least B1 in oral skills and C1 for reading/writing skills). Some of the regional and interdisciplinary modules, which the students can choose, will be in German. Hence, students with a good knowledge of German will have more seminars to choose from.
