What entrance examinations do universities look for, such as GRE, GMAT, PTE, or IELTS in Germany for a Master's/MBA?

It depends on the program and language of instruction.

For most master's programs in Germany:
- IELTS or TOEFL: Required for English-taught courses. Typical minimum is IELTS 6.0 - 7.0 or TOEFL 80 - 100 (subject to change).
- German proficiency tests (TestDaF, DSH): Needed for German-taught programs.
- GRE or GMAT: Some universities require GRE for STEM or technical master's, and GMAT for MBA or management programs.
- PTE: Increasingly accepted as an alternative to IELTS/TOEFL, but check if your target universities recognize it.

Requirements vary by university and course. If you need help identifying which tests are needed for your shortlisted programs, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
