Is obtaining German language proficiency not possible for me before the next year's intake because I am currently in my fourth year with semesters and placements ongoing?

Yes, you can achieve the required German language proficiency before the September 2027 intake, even while managing your fourth-year studies and placements.

German universities typically accept certificates like TestDaF or DSH, which are offered multiple times a year. With focused effort on intensive language courses or self-study, it's realistic to reach the necessary level (usually B2 or higher) within a year. Starting now gives you enough time to prepare and pass these exams before your intended intake.

If you need a customized study plan, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
