BEFORE YOU APPLY
What you need to bring.
- Teaching language
- English-taught academic route. German B1 is listed as an additional requirement; check when the certificate is due.
- English certificates & exemptions
- English B2; IELTS Academic 6; TOEFL iBT (2026 scale) 4; TOEFL iBT (pre-2026 scale) 80; PTE Academic 66. 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 required English evidence. The university programme page lists restricted admission; check the How to Apply rules for selection and any additional conditions.
- Admission planning group
- Additional selection requirements
- Why this group?
- The source specifies a grade/content threshold, admission restriction, assessment, portfolio or experience condition beyond a basic relevant qualification and language evidence. Read the conditions above.
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.
