What IELTS score do you need for KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)?

Scores below are from the Computer Science M.Sc. page, the Physics M.Sc. page and the Meteorology and Climate Physics M.Sc. page. All three ask for at least B2.

All three programme pages say the listed tests are accepted for an unlimited period, even if the test provider prints an expiry date.

A degree taught and examined solely in English counts only if the diploma supplement, transcript or degree certificate says so clearly. KIT does not limit this route to particular countries, so an Indian degree can qualify if its documents state it; a separate medium-of-instruction letter is not mentioned on these pages.

If your certificate is not ready by the deadline, KIT may still admit you on provisional evidence, but you must hand in the actual certificate by the end of the enrolment period. The programme pages send you to KIT's own application portal; uni-assist is not mentioned.

Your German student visa is handled by the German embassy or consulate where you apply, not by KIT. This guide covers KIT'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 KIT programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.
