English-taught study programs in Germany

ℹ️ Can I study in Germany in English?
Yes. Hundreds of Bachelor's and Master's programs are taught entirely in English — you can be admitted with an English certificate (IELTS/TOEFL) and no German. Public universities charge little or no tuition. You will still need basic German for daily life and many jobs, but not for the degree itself.

Frequently Asked Questions — English-taught programs
Do I need German to study in English? ▼
Not for the degree — English-taught programs require an English certificate (IELTS/TOEFL), not German. But A1–B1 German helps a lot for daily life, part-time jobs and staying after graduation.
Are English-taught programs free? ▼
At most public universities tuition is free or a few hundred euros per semester, regardless of language. Some private universities and a few states charge more — always check the program page.
Are there English Bachelor's programs or only Master's? ▼
Both exist, but English-taught Master's programs are far more common than Bachelor's. Many English Bachelor's are at private or international universities.
