If no formal admission decision has yet been made by a German university (so-called conditional admission), the applicant must provide proof that he/she has the required German language skills. In principle, language skills of level DHS1, DHS2 or TestDaf must be available for a degree programme.

If necessary, these can also be acquired as part of a preparatory language course at the university or from a private language course provider. The corresponding confirmation from the language school must be presented.

The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Yaoundé recommends the submission of proof of language proficiency (min. level B1) in order to support the plausibility and credibility of the motivation for the intended study visit.

For English-language degree programmes, the required English language skills (e.g. TOEFL certificate) must be submitted.

Please note: Only ALTE language certificates (Goethe-Institut, ÖSD, telc, TestDaf, ELC) are accepted.
