  • DELF (Diplôme d’études en Langue française)

Please note that these language levels must be certified at the time of your admission, before the application deadlines. It is not possible to provide these language certificates later. We recommend obtaining your language certificates before applying to the University of Luxembourg.

More information on language requirements and accepted language tests can be found here.

Students who have completed their secondary education in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg may be exempt from certificates in the following cases:
(Note that only secondary education will be considered; we cannot accept years spent in primary school, etc.)

• They have followed classical secondary education, with 6 years of instruction in French and German. A language certificate in English will not be necessary, as this diploma confers a B2 level in English.
• They have followed general secondary education, with 6 years of instruction in French and German. A language certificate in English will not be necessary, as this diploma confers a B2 level in English.

Students who have completed their secondary education in European schools (Schola Europaea), with French and German as L1 and L2 (regardless of the order of L1 and L2 mentioned), are exempt from language certificates in French and German. If English is not followed as L3, a language certificate in English (Level B2) must be provided.

Students who have completed their secondary education in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in the following tracks must provide a language certificate for one or more languages of instruction:

• International Baccalaureate: a language certificate in German Level C1 must be provided
• IGCSE, AS-levels, and A-levels: a language certificate in French and German Level C1 must be provided

Students who have obtained an Abibac are exempt from language certificates, given the bilingual nature of their program. A language certificate in English will not be necessary as this diploma confers a B2 level in English.

Any other candidate who has completed their secondary education in Europe, or in a third country, or who does not correspond to the profiles mentioned above, must provide a language certificate for any language other than the primary language of instruction of the obtained secondary school diploma (note that a bilingual study program not mentioned in the points above cannot be accepted).
Example: a student who has completed their studies in France and holds a general Baccalaureate will not need to provide a certificate for the French language. However, they will need to provide a certificate in German.
