Higher Education/University Entrance Qualification
If you want to study at a German higher education institution, you need what is called a “Hochschulzugangsberechtigung” – in English “university entrance qualification”. This is a school-leaving certificate which qualifies you for university study.
Proving your German Language proficiency
The majority of German universities offer study programmes in German language, therefore German language proficiency is necessary if you choose to apply for your studies in such programmes.
However, this does not apply to several international programmes, which have only English study programmes. Beside that some universities do not require knowledge of German language for students who are on exchange experience for a semester or two.
Proving your English Language proficiency
If you choose to apply to study in English only programmes in Germany, or English-German combined study programmes you have to proof your English language skills (e.g. TOEFL Test).
