Depending on the degree program, you will need specific language skills in German or another language in order to successfully complete your studies. That is why we need proof that you have the relevant language proficiency when you submit your application.

Your chosen program’s degree description will tell you if specific foreign language skills are required and how you can provide proof of these. In some cases, submitting your school leaving certificate is enough; sometimes other documents are required.

You did not complete secondary school or further education in Germany? In that case, first obtain information regarding a recognition of your foreign certificates and potentially required German language skills. You can find relevant information in your chosen program’s degree description.
