When we talk about future students from all over the world who do not want to continue their education in their home country, but decide to go abroad and study at foreign universities, in a large number of cases their first choice is Germany. According to the DAAD-a more than 380,000 students will be enrolled in German universities in 2023. All international students in Germany must obtain some kind of certificate to prove that they have reached the level of education required for university admission. The certificates you need are: high school diploma, a certificate of German language proficiency at level C2 (fluent language). The following certificates are also recognized DSH 2, TestDaF-Niveaustufe 4, telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule, Deutsches Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz, Deutsche Sprachprüfung II , Goethe-Zertifikat C2: , Österreichisches Sprachdiplom C2. You may be required to take an entrance exam  (Aufnahmeprüfung/Eignungstest). Most non-European students will also need a student visa before coming to Germany (Visum zu Studienzwecken). Levels vary, but some will require fluency in German, while others can be heard in English. If you want to listen to some of the lectures in English, you need a C2 certificate for the English language and a knowledge of German on the B2 level. And in the Master’s Premium program, you can listen to all subjects in English with a C2 certificate for the English language).
