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

Scores below are from the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence page, the M.Sc. Business Administration application page and the MEIL page. None of them names PTE Academic or Duolingo.

The three programmes treat an English-taught degree very differently. DSAI says a degree taught in English will generally not be accepted. MEIL exempts native speakers and anyone with a completed university degree offered in English. The Business Administration English track accepts studies conducted wholly in English at a university. None of these pages limits the degree route to particular countries, and none mentions a separate medium-of-instruction letter.

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