If you do not meet the language requirements by the enrolment deadline of the first semester you can enrol in single courses. You can take the courses offered in the first semester of the first year of the Master's degree programme for which you have been "denied" admission for not having a language certificate. As soon as you get your English language certificate, you will be able to enrol in your Master's degree programme in the first semester of the academic year 2021/22. The courses you have already attended/passed will be automatically validated. You will not be able to add any first-semester course that was not originally included in your Personal Study Plan at the time of enrolment.
