FAQ - General
English is the working language of our courses. If you come from a country where English is the official/national language or if English was the language in which you undertook higher education, your spoken and written English will be sufficient, and proof of proficiency will not be required. In all other cases, we may ask for a certified statement from a recognized authority establishing your proficiency in spoken and written English. The required level of your command of English should be equivalent to a TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based), 79-80 (internet-based) or 213 (computer-based), and 6 for IELTS. In case of any doubt, we may want to conduct a telephone/Skype interview with you.
