What PTE score do you need for TU Berlin?

TU Berlin's general overview for master's programmes gives PTE Academic 65 as the recommended score for B2+ and 76 for C1. But Faculty IV, which runs electrical engineering and computer science master's, accepts only the certificates on its own list, and PTE is not on it. Check your programme's faculty before booking PTE.

If your PTE score falls short

TU Berlin's ZEMS language centre courses at B2 or C1, completed with ECTS, are accepted on the overview and on the Faculty IV list. If your programme is in Faculty IV, plan on IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge or another listed proof instead of PTE.

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