The language requirements do not apply to students with English as their first language. 

Courses for exchange students are carried out in English and we expect you to have sufficient fluency in English in order to cope with your courses from the start. 

Level B2 required

• You are required to have a minimum of level B2 (CEFR) for all courses offered to exchange students.
• Level B2 (CEFR) is equivalent to IELTS minimum score: 5.0 or TOEFL minimum score: 60.

How to document your English proficiency

• We consider your nomination by your home university as confirmation of your English proficiency at level B2.

Exchange students who would like to apply for degree studies at Nord must be able to meet the language requirements: 

• Bachelor/undergraduate  
• Master/graduate
