Compare your diploma
If you know which diploma the institution of your choice has set as a minimum requirement, you can check how your diploma compares to this on the Nuffic website.
Language requirements
It is essential that you speak, read and write English well. You must have passed an English language test. IELTS and TOEFL are commonly accepted, but institutions may accept other tests as well, like Cambridge English.
The required scores are at least 550 (paper based) or 213 (internet based) for TOEFL. For IELTS a score of at least 6 is required.
Preparatory year
Sometimes you are not yet eligible to the programme of your choice, but with a little extra preparation you could succeed next year!
