WHU accepts one of the following English language tests: 

• TOEFL iBT: Minimum score 95. Our TOEFL code is 0682. The minimum score is based on the official score and not on the "myBest scores"
• TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition: Minimum score 95
• Institutional TOEFL (ITP): Minimum score 587
• IELTS (Academic Module): Minimum 6.5
• Cambridge C1 Advanced: Minimum grade C

We recommend that you plan to take the English test well in advance. This gives you plenty of time to retake the test by the deadline if you don't get the required score on your first attempt.

If you are graduating from an English-taught school (English as a subject is not sufficient), you may be exempt from an English test. In this case, we ask you to please upload a confirmation from your school in our application portal.

Achieved through either an internship or apprenticeship amounting to a total of six weeks in the field of business administration/management, e.g. marketing and sales, administration, finance and taxes, real estate, logistics, innovation and technology, or in areas such as communication, media, corporate social responsibility or sustainability. The pre-study internship can be completed in a start-up, small to medium-sized company or corporation.

This practical experience can also be a combination of multiple internships lasting at least two weeks each. Internships shorter than two weeks, older than two years, or completed at your family's business will not qualify. The internship(s) must be completed before the start of the program.
