For admittance to the master’s program applicants need to fulfill the following admission requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent degree from a German or foreign higher education institution with at least 20 credit points in linguistics
• English language skills at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) or an equivalent level of proficiency

The DSH - or German Language University Entrance Exam for Foreign Students - is obligatory for all applicants whose first language is not German and who have earned their initial degree from a university (or equivalent institution) where the language of instruction is not German.

Students do not pay any tuition fees, the university only charges semester fees and contributions each semester.
