FAQ
Do you need an English language certificate for every university?
Whether you need a certificate for your application may vary depending on which university you decide to apply for. Make sure to consult the university website on time to check whether or not you need to take a language test.
Which level is required for studying abroad?
The required language level for studying abroad may vary across different universities, but most often the required proficiency level is C1.
Can the Language Centre help me get a visa?
Helaas is het niet mogelijk om een visum te krijgen door een taalcursus bij ons te volgen. Wij bieden geen langdurige intensieve cursussen aan en zijn daarom niet bevoegd (door de immigratiediensten) om uitnodigingsbrieven af te geven of op enige andere manier mensen te helpen een visum voor Nederland te verkrijgen.
