Language skills

The language of instruction in the Bachelor's programme in Cyber Security Management (B.Sc.) is predominantly German. German language skills at level B2 (GER/CEFR) are therefore essential and must be demonstrated as part of the application.

This applies in particular to international applicants. A language level below B2 is not sufficient for the programme. The programme also includes the compulsory module ‘English’. Basic English language skills are therefore required, but formal proof of English language proficiency is not usually necessary.

Cooperation agreement

Admission to the programme requires a valid training, employment or internship contract as well as a cooperation agreement between the employer and Mainz University of Applied Sciences. A copy of the cooperation agreement signed by the company must be submitted during the application process.
