Rules governing required language skills
At JLU, the required language skills for a degree programme or subject are regulated in the special regulations of the degree programmes. This means that the regulations of the individual degree programmes can vary greatly. The exact wording of the respective regulations can be found in the Mitteilungen der Uni Gießen (MUG). (Please note that only the German version of the special regulations is offical and legally binding.)
