Additional information:
Access also requires that the applicant has knowledge of English and Spanish. The evidence is usually given before the start of the course, for Spanish by proof of language skills at least at level B2 (Common European Framework of Reference). The comparability of certificates or study and examination performances from other universities is determined by the selection committee. Proof of language proficiency is also deemed to have been provided if the applicant has acquired his or her academic qualification at a university in an Anglophone or Hispanic country. German language skills are beneficial for the course; however, proof of this is waived for enrollment.
