My TUM Aerospace admission letter says my language requirements are fulfilled through the university's own assessment procedure. If I select that option on the CSP form, could this cause German visa issues at my interview?
No, selecting that option will not cause visa issues, as long as you also carry physical proof, an IELTS or TOEFL certificate or a Medium of Instruction letter, to your interview. The CSP accepts TUM's internal assessment, but your visa officer still independently verifies language at the appointment.
Selecting the option confirming your language skills were assessed by TUM will not cause visa issues on its own, provided you also carry the original physical proof, such as an IELTS or TOEFL certificate or a Medium of Instruction letter, to your interview. The CSP portal accepts the university's internal assessment for processing purposes, but your visa officer independently re-verifies language proof at the actual appointment.
What You Must Carry Alongside Your Admission Letter
| Document Type | Standard Required |
|---|---|
| Standardized test | A valid, unexpired IELTS Academic score of 6.5 or higher, or TOEFL iBT of 88 or higher |
| Medium of Instruction letter | A formal, stamped letter from your previous university confirming your bachelor's was fully taught in English, matching your APS records |
Your Interview Preparation Steps
- Highlight the exact line in your TUM admission letter stating your language proficiency was verified through its internal assessment procedure
- Place your IELTS, TOEFL, or MOI certificate directly behind your admission letter in your document folder
- Prepare a short, clear line explaining that TUM already verified your English through its own aptitude assessment, backed by your physical certificate
My Advice
Do not rely on the CSP selection alone. Print your admission letter, highlight the assessment clause, and staple your IELTS or MOI certificate right behind it so you can answer any language question in seconds.
