Adequate English language skills at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) are required. Applicants must provide proof of this by means of a recognised language test such as the "Test of English as a Foreign Language" (TOEFL) (at least 79 points) or the "International English Language Testing System" (IELTS) (at least 6.5 points) or equivalent proof. If the final thesis (Bachelor's thesis) was written in English, this is also a proof of adequate English language skills.

Only applicants with English as their first language are exempt from providing proof of English language skills. In this case, it is sufficient to upload a copy of your passport. No knowledge of German is required, but it is recommended that students acquire a knowledge of German during their studies.
