For study courses in German international students have to prove their German proficiency through the “Test of German Language Ability for Foreign College Students (DSH 2)”. Graduates of the Goethe-Zertifikats C2 (Großes Deutsches Sprachdiplom (GDS)) by the Goethe-Institut, Test-DaF-Graduates with the result of TDN degree 4 in all four tests and graduates of  the test „telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule“ do not need the DSH.

You need to present a stardardised test to prove that your English level is at least B2 CEFR (Common European Framework of References) or above. The required minimum scores of the accepted English certificates are listed here. We accept certificates of up to five years old. Please, hand in a certified copy (no scan, coloured copy or pdf, but paper with original stamp) of your language certificate or show the original.

If you have studied in the higher education system a minimum of two semesters entirely in English, this can be accepted as equivalent (please provide proof). You do not need to provide further English certificates if you hold a GMAT.
