Programs in English
If you are applying to a study program offered in English, you must demonstrate language proficiency at the CEFR B2 level. To do so, you may provide a formal certificate or pass our language exam.
PLEASE NOTE: Some programs of study require a higher level of English language proficiency. Please refer to the page describing your chosen program of study to ensure that you meet the requirements.
According to new regulations that have come into force as of July 1, 2025, the type of a language proficiency certificate, which SWPS University will accept, depends on your citizenship status and the country where your secondary school / university diplomas were issues.
To find out what type of certificate you need to provide, review the new admissions regulations and select your study path in two simple steps .
