Does the English language requirement apply to the courses I am interested in in Germany for a Master's/Bachelor's?
18 Jun 2026 · Answered by Gagandeep Singh · 1 min read
Yes, English language proficiency is usually required for Master's programs in Germany taught in English, including those starting in Jan 2027.
Most universities accept tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English. Typical minimums are IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL iBT 72. Some universities may waive this if your Bachelor's was fully taught in English or if you are from a native English-speaking country, but this varies by institution.
Requirements differ between universities and programs, so check the specific admission criteria for your chosen course. If you need help confirming the requirements, please reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
