Degree Programmes
In general, admission to (the majority of) degree programmes requires German language skills (level C1). However, some master's and doctoral programmes (or some of the courses offered by those particular programmes) can be studied in English language. I.e. the Department of Philosophy offers courses in English, the possibility to write a thesis in English language, and English thesis supervision for those particular programmes. Prospective English-speaking/international students (with no or limited German language skills, i.e. not level C1) may request admission to these programmes. In such cases, admission to a degree programme and specifics regarding admission requirements will be determined during the admission process.
