Most German universities require proof of German proficiency for programs taught in German. Tests like TestDaF or DSH are commonly accepted, with required levels (e.g., B2/C1) varying by institution and program.
For English-taught programs, tests like IELTS or TOEFL may suffice, but some universities still ask for basic German skills. Always check your university’s specific requirements.
Exceptions exist for exchange programs or certain preparatory courses. EU students or those with prior German education might also be exempt. Contact the university’s admissions office for precise details to ensure compliance.
