What IELTS score do you need for Hof University of Applied Sciences?

The FAQ says certificates other than IELTS and TOEFL, such as Pearson or Cambridge, are subject to the examination board's decision after you apply. In individual cases other tests at B2 or above can be accepted.

Hof states that a medium of instruction certificate is not sufficient for admission, and that Duolingo scores are not accepted.

The FAQ adds that accepted certificates are valid for admission only and do not guarantee a visa. It notes that TOEFL iBT might not be accepted for visas in India and that home editions might not be sufficient in several countries.

You apply only through the PRIMUSS portal, and there is no application fee. Late or incomplete applications are not accepted.

Applied Research in Computer Science can admit applicants with fewer than 210 ECTS, who then make up the missing credits, for example through an internship of at least 23 weeks.

Your German student visa is handled by the German embassy or consulate where you apply, not by Hof University. This guide covers Hof University's admission rule only. Our IELTS for Germany guide covers the visa side and test fees.

English requirements in Germany are set per programme and can change between intakes. The score that binds you is the one on your Hof University programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.
