What you need, by qualification

By your qualification

  • School leaving certificate: entry through a preparatory college (Studienkolleg) and passing its final examination, then on to a bachelor's. A grade of roughly 15 out of 20 and German at B1 to B2 are usually required.
  • One or two years at a recognised university at home: direct admission to a bachelor's may be possible, or entry to a Studienkolleg, depending on the university and the grades.
  • A bachelor's degree: direct admission to a master's, on German-taught or English-taught programmes.
  • Language: German-taught programmes usually require TestDaF or DSH at around C1; English-taught programmes require IELTS or TOEFL.
  • National entrance-exam scores do not count for German admission; school and university grades are what matter.
