Do I need IELTS or German language proficiency to study a Master’s at the University of Munich?

The language requirement depends on whether the program is taught in English or German. For English-taught Master’s programs, students typically need an IELTS score of around 6.5–7.0 or TOEFL scores approximately 90–100. For German-taught programs, proof of German proficiency such as TestDaF level 4 or DSH-2 (C1 level) is usually required. Even if your course is in English, learning basic German can improve internship and job opportunities in Munich.
