Master's studies requirements

Proof of sufficient language level

For equal evaluation, we ask the candidates to present an internationally recognised English language test, so that results could be comparable. A list of suitable internationally recognised language tests is provided below. We do not accept any other internationally recognised language tests. 

Requirements for internationally recognised language tests:    

• TOEFL iBT score 87 
• • Please note that the TOEFL test result is valid 2 years!
• IELTS Academic (International English Language Testing Service) 5.5 with or above in each individual component.
• • Please note that the IELTS test result is valid 2 years!
• Cambridge test FCE (CAE; CPE are suitable as well)

The internationally recognised test of English may be replaced by: 

• Completion of a previous educational level in USA, UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand. 
• Completion of the previous level of education taught fully in English in EU/EEA member states.
• • Please note that the transcript of the records must include that the studies were conducted fully in English.

EBS reserves the right to waive the requirements based on previous experience with applicants from different countries.
