What German language proficiency levels (B1, B2) are required for studying in Germany for a Master's?

Most German universities require B2 level German proficiency (CEFR) for admission, especially for programs taught in German. This is typically proven with certificates like TestDaF, DSH, or Goethe-Zertifikat.

- B2 level is needed for most degree programs.
- B1 level may be accepted for some master's programs or under special conditions, but this is less common.

Requirements can vary by university and program. Some universities also offer preparatory language courses if you do not yet meet the required level.
