Admission Requirements

Student Status Einklappen

To be eligible to apply for our summer school, you must be enrolled in a bachelor/undergraduate, master/graduate or PhD programme at your home university.

Prior Knowledge Einklappen

We always want to ensure that our participants receive the best academic experience at UBT which includes that we make sure that the Summer School course matches their study area at home. We believe it is in the best interest of our participants and that this coherence in study programmes helps maximizing the benefit of your participation in the Summer School for your future studies and career.

Language Requirements Einklappen

All of our Summer School courses are held in English. If you are not a native English speaker, please make sure to provide a copy of your English language certificate. Our minimum language requirements (B2 level) can be shown with the following certificates:

TOEFL, at least 75
IELTS, at least 5.5
TOEIC, in listening at least 400 points, in reading at least 385 points
Cambridge Certificate („Cambridge English: First”)

If you need to proof the English language entry requirement but have not taken one of the above mentioned language tests, please contact the Summer School Team for guidance: summerschool@uni-bayreuth.de.

In case you are enrolled in an English-taught study programme at your home university, you will not need to provide an official language certificate. However, please make sure to upload adequate evidence (e.g. a letter from your home university confirming that the main language of instruction of your study programme is English).
