passing examinations in semester 1 and 2 are assured of acceptance into the 3rd semester.
The language of instruction shall be English. Admission to the degree program requires a minimal proficiency level of B2. NIST shall ensure that each participant's level of English proficiency is at or above this level. Participants may be asked to furnish a certificate of proficiency.
