| May 11, 2016 at 12:51 | comment | added | ArnoXf | I agree in @BrianBorchers comment but additionally I see the problem not only in English speaking countries since English is the main language for science and could absolutely effect your admission. The question is, how bad your grades will be compared with your GPA and if you have other references to proof your English skills. Of course there can be multiple reasons why you earn poor grades in an university topic like having a bad day when attending the test and so on. If it's possible to proof your skills otherwise, you should be good to go. | |

| May 11, 2016 at 11:05 | comment | added | Our | @TobiasKildetoft I have no problem with English.that is not the point.The point is whether having a low grade in a must course unrelated with your degree have any negative on effect my Phd admission ? | |
| May 11, 2016 at 11:01 | comment | added | Tobias Kildetoft | @Leth Depends on where you apply. If you apply anywhere with English as the main language then poor English skills will have a negative effect (even apart from the possible effect on your GPA). | |
| May 11, 2016 at 9:41 | comment | added | Our | But actually my main concern is the English course ,which is not non-credit courses , because I my grade will not be high.As I said in question , even I won't be attending the lecture ,so is this will have an negative effect on my admission ? | |
