BEFORE YOU APPLY
What you need to bring.
- Teaching language
- English-taught academic route. German A2 is listed as an additional requirement; check when the certificate is due.
- English certificates & exemptions
- English C1; IELTS Academic 7; TOEFL iBT (pre-2026 scale) 95; PTE Academic 76. Check individual component scores, test validity and exemption rules in the source; this is not the complete certificate list.
- Academic requirements
- Recognised university entrance qualification and language evidence. The university programme page explicitly lists no admission restriction.
- Admission planning group
- Open admission
- Why this group?
- The provider explicitly describes admission as unrestricted. Every academic, language, recognition and applicant-specific condition must still be met.
Planning groups describe the published entry and selection requirements. They are not acceptance rates, university rankings, or a prediction of admission. Open admission still requires a recognised qualification and all stated conditions.
