For some of our degree programmes an additional qualification in Greek and/or Latin is necessary. If you attended Greek and/or Latin at school for at least ten hours per week, the knowledge is taken as given. If you do not have the required proof, the need to pass a supplementary exam will be specified during the admission procedure. This will be stated in your student record sheet. It is sufficient to pass the supplementary exam(s) during the degree programme.
