You do not need to know German if you apply for an English-taught Master's program in Germany. For these programs, you must meet English proficiency requirements - typically an IELTS score of 6.0 - 6.5 (subject to change).

Your academic background (Bachelor’s in Chemistry, Master’s in Business Management) and 29 months of work experience position you well for admission to many English-taught programs.

German language skills are only required for programs taught in German. However, learning German can help with daily life and job opportunities after graduation.

If you need help identifying suitable programs or preparing your application, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
