What IELTS score do you need for TU Chemnitz?

A completed degree with English as the language of instruction is on the list of accepted proofs, which is the simplest route for most Indian, Pakistani and Nigerian graduates applying for a master's. TOEFL ITP, telc B2, UNIcert II and a completed degree in English or American Studies are also accepted.

The page says applicants from countries where English is an official, educational or native language need not submit English proof, but warns that different requirements apply to certain countries and extra proof may be asked for. Duolingo is not on the list.

For the master's in Advanced Manufacturing, Automation, Robotics and Control, Business and Economics, Design and Test for Integrated Circuits, Embedded Systems, Information and Communication Systems and Micro and Nano Systems, you must show German at A1 when you apply (Goethe-Institut, telc or ÖSD only) and A2 by the end of your third semester. Automotive Software Engineering, Web Engineering, Neurorobotics, Advanced Functional Materials and Advanced and Computational Mathematics build German into the course instead.

International applicants apply through uni-assist. The deadlines are 15 July for the winter semester and 15 January for the summer semester.

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