Teaching Language
English
A certificate of English language skills is required: level C1 of the “Common European Framework of Reference for Languages by the Council of Europe” : TOEFL certificate (min. score: 95 points, Internet-based, or IELTS (score 7.0), or official documentation that your BA programme was taught in English. We advise students who are not familiar with the CEFR to take one of the above-mentioned tests for self-assessment. German language skills (e.g., DSH or similar tests) are not required to register for the MA North American Studies, since it is an English-language programme. However, German language skills are highly recommended for organisational matters and everyday life, as official documents and the website might only be available in German.
