The entire degree is held in English. All applicants must prove sufficient linguistic proficiency in order to participate successfully in the degree.

Should the applicant be a native English speaker or have completed a Bachelor or similar programme held in its entirety in English, the English language requirement is waived.
While German language skills are not mandatory for admission, we offer German courses to admitted students free of charge in order to faciliate better communication while living in Germany.
