I was initially targeting Germany for studies but heard German language proficiency and exam score requirements are needed; can you explain more about these requirements for a Postgraduate/Master's?

It depends on your program. For most undergraduate and many postgraduate courses in Germany, German language proficiency (typically B2 level or higher) is required. You can prove this through exams like TestDaF, DSH, Goethe-Zertifikat, or telc. Some specialized programs (like medicine) may ask for even higher proficiency.

However, if you choose an English-taught program, you usually only need to show English proficiency (such as IELTS or TOEFL scores). In Computer Science, many master’s programs are offered in English, so German may not be mandatory.

Language requirements and accepted test scores can vary by university and course, and are subject to change.
