German for university admission and student visas
German-taught degree programmes usually ask for C1 (TestDaF, DSH or Goethe-Zertifikat C2), and even English-taught programmes often require A1–B1 for the student visa and for daily life. Nobody jumps straight to C1: you get there by passing A1, A2, B1 and B2 cleanly, each with the exam skills the next level assumes.
Sound familiar?
- Admission deadlines are fixed and language certificates take months to accumulate.
- University language centres are expensive and their intake dates rarely match your timeline.
- The listening sections at B1 and B2 are far faster than classroom German.
- You have to prove your level to the embassy long before you actually enrol.

Frequently asked questions
+Which German level do I need for a student visa?
For the visa itself, embassies typically want proof that you can follow your programme — A1–B1 for English-taught degrees, and the programme-level certificate (usually C1) for German-taught ones. Check the requirements of both your embassy and your university.
+Do you have TestDaF or DSH materials?
Not yet. Our packs cover A1 to B2, which is the foundation both exams build on. The Speaking Trainer goes up to C2 for vocabulary and fluency work.
+Is B2 enough to study in Germany?
For most German-taught bachelor and master programmes, no — they ask for C1. B2 is often enough for English-taught programmes, part-time work and everyday student life.
