Which language requirements apply in each case?

Students who have completed their school education in Germany do not need to provide proof of language proficiency at the beginning of their undergraduate studies. In certain subjects, you must provide proof of language proficiency during your studies or before registering for the State Examination when studying for the teaching degree. All important information can be found here: Proof of language skills.

If you have chosen a foreign language as your subject, you must find out in advance what language level is required or recommended at the beginning of your studies.

In most cases, international students must provide proof of C1/C2 German language proficiency at the beginning of their studies. Further information can be found here: German language skills and language certificates.
