Admission Requirements
From what the universities publish for these 23 programmes:
- 21 publish a minimum German grade; the typical one is 2.5 — about a 3.0 CGPA on a 4.0 scale. 2 publish no minimum grade.
- IELTS from 5.5 to 7 where a score is set; 0 accept a medium-of-instruction letter instead.
- 19 charge no tuition fees (you still pay a semester contribution).
Each programme also sets which earlier degrees it accepts and how many credits you need in which subjects — that is what our check compares with your own transcript.
