Does having a language certification like IELTS or German language certificate help in getting scholarships abroad?
Yes, having a language certification like IELTS or a German language certificate significantly improves your chances of getting scholarships abroad.
Many scholarship programs require proof of language proficiency to ensure you can participate fully in your chosen course. For example:
- German-taught programs often require certificates such as TestDaF, DSH, DSD, or Goethe-Zertifikat.
- English-taught programs typically accept IELTS, TOEFL, PTE Academic, or Duolingo English Test.
- Some scholarships, like the Hilde Domin Programme, need at least a B2 level (CEFR) in English or German.
A recognized language certificate not only meets eligibility requirements but also strengthens your application.
