Do I need IELTS?

It’s definitely possible to Study in Germany without IELTS or TOEFL.

Study in Germany is always a dream of many international students. Universities in Germany offer Masters degree program which are offered in English, required international students to write IELTS or IELTS even if the medium of instruction is English during your bachelors degree.

In most cases, you need a TOEFL or IELTS to apply for a program with English as language of instruction.

If your field of studies is going to be lectured in English, tests such as TOEFL(minimum score of 550 points for the paper based test or 213 points for the computer based test) or IELTS (Band 6.0 for bachelor degree and 6.5 for master degree) are required. Many students think if its possible to study in Germany without IELTS / TOEFL or not.

The fact is that, if you have studied your previous degree in English medium of instruction, then you may be subject to be admitted without IELTS requirement only and only if:

• Your chosen German university allows you to do so
• You get a letter of confirmation from your previous university that your medium of instruction for latest degree was English
• The chosen university then accepts this confirmation and writes about it in admission letter too

These all major requirements must be met in order to be able to get admitted in a university without IELTS/TOEFL. Many universities accept these confirmations as required English language level from international students. It’s still highly recommended to write IELTS / TOEFL to increase your admission chance.
