Where to study?
To study in Germany, you need to prove that you speak English or German well enough to study in that language. This proof needs to be delivered by handing in an official language certificate, unless you are a native speaker or have graduated from an English or German speaking program.
Of course, it takes hard work to get to this point. But don't worry: universities will not expect you to be anywhere near as perfect as a native speaker.
More than 245,000 international students are currently enrolled at German universities, most of them from non-English and non-German-speaking countries. As a result, universities in Germany are prepared to have second language speakers in the classroom.
Even some of your professors may speak with an accent, especially on international programmes taught in English. Once you've reached the required level, don't worry about not being 'fluent enough' - your skills will be sufficient for study and everyday communication. Mastering a new language takes time and effort, but the level required for admission is both fair and achievable. Even if you've never been to an English or German-speaking country and don't feel like an expert yet - remember that fluency is a journey, and you're on the right track!
