Justifying English Proficiency
As English is the language of instruction for the HealthTech graduate program, it is imperative that your skills in English are sufficient in order for you to be able to follow the coursework. Therefore, we require a B2 level, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language, for entrance into the program. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to request an oral interview with candidates in order to assess language level.
Required documentation:
We do not impose a specific language test for our application, however, we insist on proof of proficiency. Please refer to the broad categories below for a clearer breakdown of what kinds of documentation are accepted.
Case 1: I have never taken a language test, but took language classes at university
If you have never taken an official language test, but were assessed in language classes at university, please provide a letter from an English teacher attesting to your language level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language. For information about the language levels and for self-assessment, please refer to this page from the Council of Europe.
Case 2: I have taken a language test
If you have taken a formal language test (ex. TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, Cambridge), please provide the results from this test.
Case 3: The language of instruction for my university is English/my native language is English
If the language of instruction at your university is English, please provide an official certificate from your university stating that the language of instruction is in English. If you are a native speaker, you may provide a signed sworn statement (attestation sur l'honneur) that attests to the fact that English is your native language.
