Germany IELTS - Score requirements
55 questions
Expert Answers
Would you suggest me to give IELTS first before starting the application process in Germany/Italy for a Master's?
→I've applied to a public university in Germany, and I've completed my APS, blocked account and university fee payment, with an IELTS band of 7. What are my chances of visa approval?
→Your chances are extremely high, roughly 90 to 95 percent, since you have already cleared APS verification, fully funded your blocked account, paid your university fees, and scored an IELTS 7, addressing the leading causes of German visa rejection overall.
I've been admitted into the MBA General Management program at the University of Potsdam and have an IELTS overall band of 6.5. What are my chances of getting a German student visa?
→Your chances are very high, since your admission letter from Potsdam already confirms you cleared the academic and language checks, and your IELTS 6.5 comfortably meets the standard requirement for English-taught master's programs. Approval now depends on your remaining documents.
I'm applying for TUM's Bachelor's in Aerospace with an IELTS overall band of 6.5 and a German A2 TELC certificate. Should I retake IELTS before applying for my visa, or is my current score sufficient?
→No, you do not need to retake IELTS. Your 6.5 overall band meets the B2 English requirement for TUM's Aerospace program, and your A2 telc certificate satisfies the program's lowered German threshold, so your current scores are fully sufficient for both admission and your visa appointment.
Should I take the German language certification first or the English language test first for a Master's?
→I have an unconditional admission letter for a master's program in Germany with an IELTS band of 6.5. Should I apply for my visa now, or wait to retake IELTS given the visa rush?
→Apply for your visa immediately and skip retaking IELTS. Your unconditional admission letter already confirms the university accepted your band 6.5 as sufficient, and that score is the standard benchmark for English-taught master's programs, so delaying during a visa rush only risks your semester start date.
