You can demonstrate your English language proficiency in two ways:

• By submitting proof that you have studied at least one academic year (or 60 ECTS credits) in an English-language Bachelor's or Master's programme. The Admission Board may require additional proof of your command of English.
• By submitting your results on a language test, with the following minimum scores:
  • Paper-based TOEFL: minimum 550
  • Internet-based TOEFL: minimum 80
  • Computer-based TOEFL: minimum 213
  • ​IELTS: minimum overall score of 6.5 and a minimum score of 6.0 for each individual component
  • ​Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): minimum B2

Results obtained on other language tests will not be accepted.
