Proof of sufficient command of English

 

If English is not your mother tongue an English language test or, in some cases, other proof of English proficiency is required. We accept certificates from TOEFL or IELTS as official language tests.

TOEFL â€“ Test of English as a Foreign Language (Institutional TOEFL code: 7633)
Score: 575 (paper-based) - 232 (computer-based) - 90 (internet based, with writing sub-test at least 20)

IELTS â€“ International English Language Testing System
Score: 6.5, no sub-test lower than 5.5 (Writing sub-test at least 6.0)

Students who have completed their studies in English previously may not necessarily (there is no guarantee) need to provide proof of English language test completion. In such cases students can submit the following two documents (both of them) for consideration:

  • An example of a previously submitted, substantial essay or thesis in English.
  • Confirmation from the institution that the language of instruction was entirely in the English medium.
