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.

Listening at native pace
Announcements, interviews and lectures at real speed — the closest thing to a lecture hall you can practise at home.
One price for the whole climb
€1.12 per exam — €45 opens every level for three months, which is less than one week of a private language school for the full A1-to-B2 run.

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 mocks?
Not yet. The hub covers A1 to B2, which is the foundation both exams build on.
+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.
