Section A. “subject-specific entrance requirements” of the examination regulations states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eProficiency in a modern language other than English (Romance, Slavic, Baltic, or Finno-Ugric languages, Modern Greek or Arabic) will be verified – if that has not already happened during the bachelor’s program – by submitting the Abitur certificate, providing proof of active participation in relevant language courses, or through other equivalent documentation, and must be successfully demonstrated prior to registration for the first module. As an alternative to the proof of proficiency in a modern language, the qualifying examination in Latin (Latinum) or qualifying examination in Greek (Graecum) is also accepted. Obtaining a diploma supplement with a special focus may require specific language proficiency. (…) In addition, good proficiency in English is required; reference is made to section 2 subsection 2.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means: the Latinum is not a prerequisite for the Master of Arts History degree program – but knowledge of Latin is required for certain specializations. Language proficiency in a modern foreign language other than English is no longer assessed through an exam, but rather through certificates or other equivalent documentation. English proficiency itself does not need to demonstrated, but is understood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
