For a September 2027 intake, aim to complete your IELTS preparation and take the exam by March 2027. This ensures your language scores are ready before most university application deadlines.
- IELTS preparation: Begin by July 2026 to allow enough time for study and possible retakes.
- IELTS exam: Take the test by March 2027. Scores remain valid for admission and visa processes.
- Application deadlines: Most universities, including those in Germany, close applications between May and July 2027 for September intakes.
Start your language prep early to avoid last-minute issues and ensure all scores and documents are ready for your applications.
