What IELTS score do you need for HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management?

For the M.Sc., the only waiver the page names is a bachelor's degree completed in English. The MBA page is wider: it also lists a semester abroad in an English-speaking area and English as the official language of your company.

English is not the only test. The M.Sc. page lists a valid HHL Entry Test, GMAT or GRE as an admission criterion and does not exempt English-taught applicants from it. The M.Sc. checklist says the proof of English can be submitted later, as one of the further application documents.

Neither application page describes a pre-sessional English course or a conditional offer for a lower score, so treat 7.0 as the working target if you plan to submit IELTS. If you sit IELTS with a gap in one skill, the IELTS One Skill Retake lets you retake just that skill.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your HHL programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
