Deadlines and requirements for GRE and IELTS exams vary by university and program in Singapore and Germany.

Singapore:
- Application deadlines for major universities typically fall between October 2026 and March 2027 for September 2027 intake.
- IELTS: Most universities require an overall band of 6.0 - 6.5 (no section below 6.0).
- GRE: Required for some programs, with a typical minimum of 320 (Verbal + Quantitative) and 3.5 (Analytical Writing) for universities like NUS. Not all programs/universities require GRE.

Germany:
- Application deadlines depend on the university and course, often between January and May 2027 for fall intake.
- IELTS: Most postgraduate programs require an overall band of 6.5 - 7.0.
