Dear Admissions Team / Hi everyone,

I have received an admission offer for the Wirtschaftsmathematik B.Sc. program at the University of Hamburg and am currently preparing my documents for enrollment.

I would like to clarify if my secondary education background satisfies the B1 level English proficiency requirement for this program.

Here are my details:

I completed 4 years of high school in Hungary, which included continuous English language classes.

I took the Hungarian Secondary School Leaving Examination (Érettségi) at the Emelt (Advanced) level in English and achieved a score of 82%.

Could you please confirm:

Is the Érettségi Emelt English certificate (82%) recognized directly as proof of B1 English proficiency for enrollment?

Do I need to provide an official translation (into German or English) of the certificate, or additional proof from my high school confirming the years of English instruction?

Hello zitengzhang,

Proof of proficiency can be demonstrated in the form of university entrance eligibility with a minimum of 3 years of English instruction or by the following documentation:

- TOEFL with at least 42 points on the Internet-based test
- IELTS test with a score of at least 4.0
- a higher education entrance qualification for English-language higher education institutions
- other certificate comparable to Level B1

In case of futher question please contact directly the academic office of the program.

Best regards,
BK
