Up to which level of German language proficiency is required for a Master's?
03 Jul 2026 · Answered by Thaiba Nazreen · 1 min read
Most German universities require C1 level German proficiency (advanced level on the CEFR scale) for master's programs taught in German.
- Some programs may accept slightly lower or require higher levels, but C1 is the typical standard.
- Requirements vary by university and program, so always check the specific admission criteria for your chosen course.
