Language & Exams
Teaching Language
English
Applicants need to speak excellent English. The application must contain proof of your proficiency equivalent to C1 in the form of a recognised certificate (see our website). The list of accepted language tests in this document is not exhaustive, but rather a recommendation. Alternatively, applicants who can prove that they have either studied an undergraduate degree in English (a minimum of three years, 180 ECTS) or are native English speakers may be exempt from providing a recognised language certificate. For more details see our website. Applicants who can show an equivalent to C2 will have an advantage. Furthermore, a working knowledge of German is highly recommended.
REQRequirements
Requirements
Academic Admission
Applicants must hold a university degree at the time of formal enrolment (September of the enrolment year). This first degree can be in any subject. With around 130 applications for 32 places, admission is highly competitive. The diversity in standards of university teaching and grading throughout the world makes it impossible to impose any formal requirements on the minimum grade to be obtained. As a rule of thumb, though, successful applicants with a Bachelor's (e.g. BA, LLB, BSc) or similar degree tend to have graduated within the top 10-15%, successful applicants with a Master's (e.g. MA, LLM, MSc) or similar degree within the top 15-20% of their class. We will, however, consider the individual circumstances of each case. For more details, go to https://www.gbz.hu-berlin.de/ma-british-studies/admissions .
