LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY
As the programmes are conducted in English, we expect our
students to have good English language skills (writing and
speaking). The minimum overall score required at academic level
is 6.0, with individual marks scoring no lower than 5.5 (IELTS),
550 on the paper-based test, 80 on the internet-based test
(TOEFL), or level C1 (Cambridge Advanced). The test must have
been taken within 2 years prior to applying for our programme.
Students with a Dutch mbo level 4, havo or vwo diploma and
a score in English of less than 7 are advised to take an IELTS
test. This will determine whether their level of English is good
enough to complete an English-language programme. All
students with a foreign diploma are required to present proof
of their English proficiency, with the exception of German
Abitur and diplomas from Great Britain, Ireland, the USA,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
