Preparation: language
A language certificate is your ticket to applying. We set the goal, find a school or tutor and bring you to the required level.
A service for this step
- We select a course in the city you need, for your level and dates
- We enrol you on the course and prepare the documents for the visa together with the school
- We handle all communication between you and the school — from the order until you arrive
- We stay in touch with the school after you arrive too, often until you leave
Language: the longest step of the route
Without the required language level, your application will not be accepted. We set a goal based on the programme, choose a preparation format and monitor your progress all the way to the certificate.
Which level and certificate you need
- Language of instruction
- German / English
- German
- often B2–C1 (to be confirmed)
- English
- IELTS / TOEFL (to be confirmed)
- Studienkolleg
- depends on your school-leaving certificate
Depends on the programme and the language of instruction; exact requirements are confirmed for each specific programme.
About the “Preparation: language” step
This step is part of a single route of 16 steps
A programme runs all stages without gaps: a curator in touch until the residence permit, one deadline calendar, organisational visa support and a guarantee year¹.
¹ Guarantee year. A repeat support cycle at no extra service fee — per the contract terms. Not a guarantee of admission; the decision is made by the university/government body.
