Please make sure that you have at least a language level of either English B2 or German B1 regardless of whether you are studying in the Bachelor's or Master's programme. No official language certificate is required. However, out of your own interest to ensure that your stay abroad at Bielefeld University is satisfactory, we ask you to comply with the requirements.
Most of the classes at the Faculty of Educational Science are held in German. This means that you will need to have adequate language skills (German level B1) in order to participate in the classes and to ensure that your stay in Bielefeld is productive for you. Nevertheless, the faculty offers some courses in English every semester so that international students can earn at least 30 ECTS.
