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

• They have followed classical secondary education, with 5 years of instruction in French and 4 years of instruction in German.
• They have followed general secondary education, with 5 years of instruction in French and 4 years of instruction in German. 

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. As an exception, students may also be accepted with German as a L3 under specific conditions (see below, “German B1 Tolerance”).

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 B1 must be provided
• IGCSE, AS-levels, and A-levels: a language certificate in French Level B2 and German Level B1 must be provided

Students who have obtained an Abibac are exempt from language certificates, given the bilingual nature of their program.

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: 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.

***German B1 Tolerance:*** Candidates may be accepted to the program if they can justify a B1 level in German. Please note that under this circumstance, the student will be required to follow German classes to reach level B2 by the end of their studies. Justification methods for level B1 in German are the same as detailed in the sections above.
