Students who already took the DSH but did not obtain the necessary level are allowed to improve their skills and re-take the DSH exam by the end of their first semester at the European University Viadrina. The Language Centre of the European University Viadrina offers adequate German courses and provides further concrete information: http://www.sz.euv-frankfurt-o.de/de/lektorate/deutsch/ (opens in a new tab)

Alternatively, students can be exempted from proof of German proficiency if they decide on the functionally-oriented study programme "Information and Operations Management (IOM)" or the "General Management" study option.
