All Incoming Erasmus students are required to have a level of English language proficiency which will enable them to understand lectures, participate in classes fully, seminars and to sit examinations in the language. Ideally, students should have level B2 on the CFER scale, but at a very minimum level, B1. www.coe.int/lang-CEF
