4. Language Requirements
Lectures are usually conducted through the medium of English. Good knowledge of
English is therefore essential. Each international Student application must master the
English language sufficiently well to be able to understand lectures and to be able to
work with English language textbooks.
We do not require Erasmus students to provide English language certificates. We
trust that nominated students have a sufficient level in the language in order to take
part in lectures and lessons.
