Is knowledge of the German language mandatory for studying in the programme?

Yes, if you apply for admission, you must prove that your level of German is at least B1. Which documents are valid, can be found under “Spezielle Kenntnisse 3” in the programme-specific admission rules (German: Fachspezifische Zugangs- und Zulassungsregeln des Master Statistik, non-official translation into English: Subject specific access and admission rules for the ZSP-HU).

The mandatory course Stochastik I is taught in German, but almost all other courses are held in English.
