Applicants must be fluent in English on level B2 according to the Common European Framework of References for languages (CEFR) . Both TOEFL (iBT 85 or equivalent) and IELTS (band 6.0) can be accepted as a proof of language proficiency. An exemption only applies to students whose undergraduate degree has been conducted entirely in English (language of instruction certificate). All courses are taught in English and do not require prior knowledge of the German language. In order to prepare for a career in the German labour market and to facilitate daily life in Germany, we encourage students to learn German. Students who do not have proficiency in German on level B2 or more at the beginning of their studies will take mandatory German courses as integral part of their studies in CME.
