Hello,
in the previous post, I mentioned that some of you contacted me through my Instagram asking for some questions and I really appreciate this. Therefore I decided to answer most frequently asked questions here. If you have any kind of question, please, write me and I will gladly try to answer that 🙂
Question: What are the requirements for the English language?
Proof of your English language skills is something you should think about in advance in case you did not study with English as the language of instruction. Basically, there are two options on how to prove your English skills
- Internationally recognised English test
- University studies
1.) I would say that this applies to most of the international students. To demonstrate your English abilities, you can submit your internationally recognised English test, such as IELTS Academic, TOEFL, Cambridge Michigan Language Assessments, Pearson PTE Academic, Cambridge English Language Assessment or Cambridge ESOL. You can read more here as I have no experience with the certificate but IELTS Academic which is the one I have done. If you have no certificate at this point, I would recommend doing IELTS Academic as most of the universities prefer this one to for example CAE. If I remember correctly I did my IELTS Academic exam in December and in January I applied for SLU.
2.) Another option is applicable if you studied 60 ECTS credits with English as the language of instruction in the EU or English speaking country. As I have no experience with this, check this page if this applies to you.
Usually, the requirement is the equivalent of English 6 which is for example for IELTS an overall mark of 6,5, CAE certificate or TOEFL total score of 575. You have to check specific programme requirements as it may vary. Also, this page can be helpful and I believe you will find answers to your questions.
You can apply for Master´s programmes from now until the 15th of January 2019, so do it and give it a chance.
See you on the campus!
