Greetings
i would like to enquire about the Economics program offered by the university . I completed my International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) qualification in 2022 and would like to apply for the bachelors degree.

I do not know german but I am willing to study to a level that is required for entry.

Does the preparatory programme allow me to advance into a bachelors degree?
Is the economics programme completely taught in english or will some part be in German?
I will be doing a foundation year in the UK, will that be equivalent of a foundation year in Germany?

(will it be possible for me to be proficient in German until a bachelor level entry requirement but still have only an IGCSE qualification? without doing a foundation year)

Dear kuhurajesh0811,

The bachelor's program Volkswirtschaftslehre (Economics) is taught in both languages: German and English. The concrete language of the courses will be announced at the beginning of the course. Therefore, a certificate of very good German language proficiency (Level C 1) has to be submitted at time of enrollment. A proof of English language proficiency is not required.

Please check the evaluation of your foreign educational qualification via the DAAD database, first.
https://www.daad.de/en/study-and-resear ... -database/ The result shows if your educational qualification is sufficient.

To apply for Studienkolleg (preparatory course) you already need good German language proficiency which has to be prooved by submitting a certificate.
