For some master's programs applicants need to prove a certain level of proficiency in certain foreign languages. You can either attach the relevant proofs to your online application or you can order the testing institutes to submit your results electronically and directly to us.
Some of the language tests will be offered as At Home testing procedure. These tests will also be accepted.
As a rule, the definitive deadlines for application also apply for the proofs of language proficiency. Some selection statutes, however, allow a later submission date for the proof of English language proficiency.
Please go to the relevant selection statutes to see the detailed legal information.
