Many students who want to study in Germany have a question: Is it possible to study in Germany without IELTS for Indian students? The honest answer is: yes, it is possible, provided you meet certain conditions. Many universities accept alternative forms of English proficiency, including TOEFL, PTE, and Duolingo. Many universities also accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI certificate). This certificate proves that you have studied English to demonstrate your English proficiency. Also, students should know that, in Germany, admission requirements and student Visa requirements are separate and handled by different authorities.

Can you study in Germany without IELTS?

Many Indian students are confused by the belief that the German Embassy requires IELTS for admission to the country. But the truth is: IELTS is not required at the national level. Each university sets its own English proficiency requirements. Concluding this, yes, you can study in Germany without IELTS, as it does not depend on the country, but rather on the programme and the university. There are two paths to study in Germany; let’s delve into them:

English-taught programmes: Students who are choosing to study an English-taught programme can study without IELTS if the chosen university accepts an alternative proof of English-language proficiency.

German-taught programmes: To study in German-language programmes, you do not need to provide an IELTS certificate as it tests English proficiency rather than German. However, students need to provide German language certificates, such as TestDaF, DSH, and Goethe-Zertifikat.

German Universities without IELTS: Full List

Many German universities allow Indian students to enrol in the English language programmes without IELTS if they provide an accepted alternative to IELTS. There are almost 200+ public and private universities that offer an English language programme with an alternative to IELTS. Universities without IELTS in Germany require alternatives, such as TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo, and MOI certificates.

We have provided below a list of a few top universities in Germany with major English-taught programmes:

University	Major English-taught Programmes	TOEFL iBT Min	PTE Min
Technical University of Munich	Aerospace Engineering, Management and Technology, etc.	88	65

RWTH Aachen University, North Rhine-Westphalia	Computer Engineering, Data Science, Robotic Systems Engineering, etc	90-120	60+

NOTE: The Duolingo and MOI acceptance vary by universities and specific programmes.

MOI certificate for Germany: What it is and how to get one

A Medium of Instruction (MOI) is a document issued by one’s college or university as proof that students have completed their education in English. This document serves as proof of your English language proficiency for study, work, or immigration to an English-speaking country.

Who issues the certificate?

The MOI certificate is issued by the higher authority of the school or university. In the case of a school, it is issued by the principal or head. In the case of a college or university, the MOI is issued and signed by the registrar, controller of examinations, or the principal.

What must be stated to be accepted?

Although the MOI certificate is just a one-page document, it must contain the following information to be reliable and complete:

Student’s full details, including full name and enrolment number.
Official institution letterhead
Formal statement declaring medium of instruction
English-medium study duration
Signature of the college authority
Official seal of the institution
Date of issue
Contact information of the institution

Common reasons for its rejection

The MOI can be rejected by foreign embassies for several reasons, including not aligning with immigration laws, lacking the specific wording required to prove total language immersion, or more. Here are a few of the reasons for an MOI rejection:

No verification contact of the institution
Missing exact duration of studies
Partial language claim rather than entire curriculum
Missing stamp or seal
Missing attestation or MEA apostille

When MOI may not be enough: the reality of Indian students

When an MOI certificate is accepted by a German university for admission, but the German embassy may reject it and may demand official language proof during the visa process. The MOI may not be enough in the following circumstances:

Strict Institutional policies: Some universities might have different and strict policies regarding language acceptance. They may require other standard langugae certificates such as Duolingo, TOEFL, etc.
University acceptance vs Visa acceptance: Universities may accept an MOI certificate, but it does not mean it will be accepted by Visa officers. Visa authorities are independent of universities’ requirements.

IELTS Alternatives accepted by German universities

Without IELTS, students can get admission in a vast range of English-taught programmes, provided they have to provide an alternative to the IELTS certificate.

Test	Cost in India	Result timeline
TOEFL iBT	INR 18,000	Approx 3 days
PTE	INR 18,900	Approx 24 to 48 hours
Duolingo English Test	INR 5,000 to INR 6,700 ( for a single attempt)	12 hours to 48 hours
Cambridge English (C1 Advanced)	INR 17,000 to INR 20,000	5 to 10 days (for digital exam) 4 to 6 weeks (for paper-based test)
MOI Certificate	INR 100 to INR 1000	7 to 20 working days

German language levels A1 to C2: What you actually need

German language structure follows the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) scale from A1 to C2. The scale is used to measure language ability and proficiency. There are 6 levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. A1 and A2 are for basic users, B1 and B2 are intermediate, and C1 and C2 are advanced.

If your degree is taught in English, you need A1 level for daily life. Beginners use A1 and A2 to introduce themselves and ask or answer basic questions. Hence, it also becomes useful for part-time work. A German-language programme usually needs B2 or C1 via TestDaF or DSH, while specialist roles like medicine and engineering need C2.

TestDaF exam vs DSH exam vs Goethe Certificate

To study in the German language, international students have a common question: Which exam is the best to take? The answer lies in the individual’s future goals and personal preference.

TestDaF (Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache) is required for university admission in Germany at the B2 to C1 levels. The test is valid globally and does not expire, which makes it suitable for those who want to use it for future academic purposes. With a price range of approximately €125 to € 210, the test is held only 7 times a year.

The DSH is a German language exam specifically organised by individual German universities for the B2 to C2 proficiency levels. The test certificate is valid for only 2 years and is recognised only in Germany. With a price ranging from € 40 to € 170, it becomes an affordable option for budget-conscious students.

With global recognition, Goethe-Institut exams are known for their high-quality and long-term validity. The cost of the exam ranges from € 100 to € 300, depending on the location and exam level.

Eligibility and requirements

Students who want to study in Germany without IELTS must meet the required academic and language requirements. If the university does not ask for IELTS, students have to present an alternative language certificate.

A MOI Certificate: Students must present a Medium of Instruction certificate, confirming that their previous qualification was taught in English.

German language proficiency: Students who want to study a German language course must submit a German language proficiency certificate.

English language assessment: Certain German universities conduct their own language assessment or interview.

Alternative English language test: If students are planning to study without IELTS, some universities may accept TOEFL, Duolingo, PTE, or Cambridge English qualifications.

Academic qualifications: Students must meet the programme-specific academic requirements.

APS certificate Germany for Indian students

Akademische Prüfstelle, or Academic Evaluation Centre, known as APS, is an official document issued by the German Embassy in New Delhi. It confirms that your academic qualifications are valid and meet the German higher education standards.

The documents required are class 10th and 12th marksheet, all semester marksheets, degree certificate, and proof of language proficiency. To get an APS certification,

Study in Germany without IELTS: Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD

Master’s degree

In Germany, every university sets its own eligibility criteria to pursue a Master’s programme. Candidates must visit the university’s official website to check basic prerequisites. The following are eligibility criteria for Master’s studies in Germany:

University acceptance vs Visa acceptance: What students should verify

University admission and visa requirements are not the same. Here, students need to be careful. Universities have their own rules for language requirements. They could waive IELTS and instead accept other language proficiency certificates. On the other hand, visa officers handle your profile independently and enforce the rules of local German authorities. They may have stricter and different rules. Hence, there is no mandatory requirement for IELTS for Germany student visa; instead, your chosen university demands it for admission.

Students who want to apply must submit the following documents during the visa process:

University Admission Letter: The university admission letter must show that language proof is already accepted by the university.

APS certificate: An APS certificate shows that your academic qualification is authentic and reliable for studying in Germany.

Alternative language proof: If you are going to study without an IELTS certificate, you are required to get alternative language proof, such as TOEFL, Duolingo test, and others.
Financial proof: As financial proof, students need to have a blocked account with at least €11,904 to cover one year of living expenses.
