What IELTS score do you need for Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin?

Scores below are from the ZZR for the M.Sc. Economics and the M.Sc. Business Administration, both in German, and from the International Dispute Resolution English requirements page.

The Economics and Business Administration ZZR also accept a degree with fewer English-taught credits if English at B2 was an admission requirement for that degree. The regulations do not limit this route to particular countries. Native speakers can qualify with official documents showing English as their first language and at least eight of their first twelve years in a country where English is an official language.

International Dispute Resolution waives the certificate for native speakers on the same eight-of-twelve-years rule, and for holders of an English-language high school diploma or undergraduate degree. HU's pages we read do not state how old a certificate may be.

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

English requirements in Germany are written into each programme's admission or examination regulations and can change between intakes. The score that binds you is the one on your HU Berlin programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.
