Language & Exams

Teaching Language

English

Knowledge of English as proven by TOEFL (our code: 1680) or a comparable assessment is required. Minimum TOEFL score: 550 (paper-based), 215 (computer-based), 80 (Internet-based); IELTS of at least 6.5; or Cambridge Certificate (CAE or CPE). Native English speakers as well as applicants who have completed their first degree in English are exempt from the English language test. Proficiency in German is very important for students not only to manage everyday life but also to write the Master's thesis and apply for a job in industry for the corporate project. Most companies require fluent or at least intermediate knowledge of German, and finding a position in Germany after graduation is practically impossible without a good command of the language. Therefore, all students are required to have at least basic knowledge (CEFR level A1) of German at the beginning of the programme in September. To meet this prerequisite, beginners must take German language courses in their home country. By the end of the second semester, students must be able to prove that they are at a CEFR level A2.
