BEFORE YOU APPLY
What you need to bring.
- Teaching language
- English-taught academic route. The profile lists no minimum German certificate at entry.
- English certificates & exemptions
- English B2; IELTS Academic 5.5; TOEFL iBT (2026 scale) 4; PTE Academic 59. 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 English B2. Selective admission also considers an application essay and motivation statement (each up to 500 words), plus a study-orientation test; the profile lists about 80 places.
- Admission planning group
- More demanding requirements
- Why this group?
- Multiple substantive preparation and/or selective assessment conditions are described in the reviewed requirements. This is an editorial planning category, not an acceptance-rate estimate.
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.
