Frequently Asked Questions
What German level do I need for German university?
Most German universities require B2 (Goethe, TELC, or equivalent). Competitive programs like Medicine, Law, and Teaching require C1. Some English-taught programs may have lower requirements.
Is TestDaF better than Goethe for university?
Both are equally accepted. TestDaF is specifically designed for university admission and tests academic German. Goethe B2/C1 is more general but equally valid. Choose based on exam availability.
Can I apply to German university with B1?
Most universities require B2 minimum. However, you can apply to Studienkolleg (preparatory course) with B1, which prepares you for university and includes language training.
How long to go from B1 to B2?
B1 to B2 typically requires 200-400 additional hours of study. With intensive courses, this takes about 3-5 months. Focus on academic vocabulary and complex text comprehension.
