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

Scores below are from the M.Sc. Economics page, the M.Sc. Information Systems page, the Public Policy page and the M.Sc. Mathematics page.

Information Systems accepts a bachelor's degree only if it was completed in an English-speaking country; a degree taught in English elsewhere still needs a certificate, and its page says medium of instruction does not count. Its certificate must be no older than two years. Mathematics accepts an English-language bachelor's, and Public Policy accepts university studies completed in English, with a certificate for each module.

Two programmes add a test for non-EU applicants. Economics asks a GRE with at least 155 Quantitative and 145 Verbal from applicants whose bachelor's is not from the EU. Information Systems asks non-EU applicants for a GMAT Focus of 650 or a GRE of 165 Quantitative and 160 Verbal. Economics no longer requires German; Public Policy still asks for German as well as English.

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