In addition to this formal requirement, you must also meet the subject-specific requirements for admission to a master`s program. See below for details. Please note, however, that some German language programs also require proof of English language skills. Please refer to the subject-specific admission requirements of your study programme to find out what language skills are required. Proof of German language proficiency is required for all German-language study programs, unless you have a university entrance degree under German law.
