What is the required level for the language test to be eligible for part-time jobs in Germany?

You typically need at least A1 level German proficiency for part-time jobs in Germany, which covers basic everyday expressions. However, most employers prefer B2 or C1 level - especially for roles involving customer interaction or administrative tasks.

Some international companies may offer English-speaking positions, but these are limited. Improving your German will greatly increase your job options.

As an international student, you can work up to 20 hours/week during the semester and full-time during breaks, subject to change. Exceeding these limits can affect your residence permit.
