  • Confirmation for English as language of instruction 

    No language certificate is required if the language of instruction for the desired degree program is English, which is also the official language and the language of education in the applicant’s home country. In this case, confirmation of the language of instruction from the educational institution (secondary school or university) is sufficient.
