Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover

Proof of sufficient German language skills is required for HMTMH degree programmes (exception: chamber music and solo classes). The required language level is based on the language level scales of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and ranges between B1 and C1, depending on the degree programme. When determining which certificates are accepted, the HMTMH follows the guidelines of Leibniz University Hannover. 

Time of certification:

• Degree programmes with language requirements at level C 1
  If possible, at the time of application, at the latest upon enrolment

• Degree programmes with language requirements at levels B 1 or B 2
  By the beginning of the second semester. If good progress is made in studies and language acquisition, and with the approval of the programme spokespersons, a one-time extension for a further semester may be granted. After that, admission expires. In particularly justified cases, a semester of leave may be taken alternatively upon application and with the approval of the Presidium.

If there are places available, it is possible to take language courses at the  Leibniz Language Centre (LLC) at Leibniz University Hannover (information on registration).
