What IELTS score do you need for the University of Bremen?

Bremen's master's programmes page gives each programme's level. Communication and Information Technology, Control, Microsystems, Microelectronics, Ecology, Digital Media and Society and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology need English C1 for enrolment. Applied Geosciences and Electrochemical Engineering for Sustainability need B2. Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems asks B2 when you apply and C1 for enrolment.

Some programmes, such as Betriebswirtschaftslehre, also need German C1, so check both languages on your programme's entry.

Bremen's master's FAQ says English at B2 or C1 can be proven with a school qualification or bachelor's degree taught 100% in English, and that a medium-of-instruction letter from your school or university is enough. It names no country restriction.

For admission-restricted master's, proof is due by the application deadline; for unrestricted ones, two weeks after lectures start. Neither the certificate list nor the FAQ states how old a test result may be.

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