Study in Germany
in English

Yes. Over 580 programmes are fully taught in English at German universities. You can complete your entire Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD without knowing German, though basic German is helpful for daily life such as shopping, dealing with authorities, and socialising.

No. English-taught programmes have no German language requirement for admission. However, many universities offer free German courses alongside your degree, which helps with daily life and dramatically improves your job prospects after graduation.

Popular English-taught subjects include Computer Science, Data Science, Business, Engineering, Environmental Science, and International Relations. The Master's and PhD levels have the widest selection. English-medium Bachelor's programmes are growing rapidly, especially in STEM and business fields.

Yes, at public universities. English-taught programmes at public universities are tuition-free, just like German-taught ones. Only a semester fee of €150–€350 applies, which typically includes a public transport pass for the entire semester.

Most programmes require IELTS 6.0–6.5 or TOEFL 80–90. Some universities accept alternative proof of English proficiency such as a previous degree completed in English, Cambridge C1 Advanced, or Duolingo English Test.

TU Munich, RWTH Aachen, Heidelberg University, LMU Munich, and KIT offer the most English-taught programmes. The TU9 alliance of leading technical universities and U15 research-intensive universities are especially strong in STEM and social sciences.

Yes. Many tech companies and startups operate in English, especially in Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg. The 18-month post-study work visa gives you time to find employment. However, learning German dramatically expands your options across all industries and regions.
