English proficiency requirements

As a general rule, incoming Erasmus+ students to the HMDK do not need to document English language proficiency tests such as IELTS or TOEFL (with a few exceptions). We do however strongly recommend that students have a good command of German – a minimum of level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) – in order to follow courses taught in German.

The HMDK in Stuttgart expects that all nominated Erasmus+ students have been evaluated according to the CEFR framework at their home institution. Please contact the Erasmus+ coordinator at your home institution if you have questions about requirements on the agreement in question.
