Yes, international students who are going for the UG courses are required to speak and understand German language as the main teaching is done in this.

Yes, MSU requires UG applicants to submit a personal statement or essay of 250-650 words. This essay won't be the sole deciding factor while considering a student's application, but it can definitely have an impact on the chances of selection as well as scholarships. Students can refer to the official university website for the essay prompts to choose from.
