When applying for a Master degree program taught in German, for a language related conditional admission you must submit at least a B2 CEFR language certificate (see the uni-assist language table for GERMAN: Category C+). For a direct admission, you need a C1 CEFR language certificate.
You do not need to submit a German language certificate if you already hold a higher education qualification under the German education system where German was the language of instruction.
At the time of applying for a Master program taught in English, applicants for a language related conditional admission must submit at least a B2 CEFR language certificate (see uni-assist English Reference Framework: Category 3). For a direct admission, you need a C1 CEFR language certificate.
Confirmation that the language of instruction is English
No language certificate is required if the language of instruction for the desired degree program is English, which is also the official language and the language of education in the applicant’s home country. In this case, confirmation of the language of instruction from the educational institution (secondary school or higher education institution) is sufficient.
Statement of purpose (Master MCS and Master IBE applicants only)
