We strongly recommend that only students with good academic standing apply. It is your own responsibility to make sure that you are able to follow the courses and pass the exams.
Level of English Proficiency
You are not required to submit any proof of English proficiency. Since all courses are taught in English and at a high academic level, we highly recommend that you have a strong command in both oral and written English, otherwise it might be difficult to follow the courses and pass the exams.

In all bachelor courses, the preliminary assigment is a Nordic Nine pre-course. It is identical for all bachelor courses.
