Many degree programmes at FAU require proof of proficiency in certain languages such as English, French or Latin as part of their degree programme and examination regulations.
If you are applying to study a foreign language subject you should find out beforehand which level of proficiency is required at the start of your degree. More information is available in our [degree programme catalogue](https://www.fau.eu/studying/studienangebot/all-degree-programs/).
Information on language proficiency requirements is given on the German website. Contact the Student Advice Service for more information.
