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

Scores below are from the INFOTECH requirements page, the M.Sc. Computer Science page and the COMMAS admission page.

INFOTECH lets nationals with citizenship and education from a listed set of countries send proof of citizenship, such as a passport, instead of a test. The list includes Australia, Canada, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, the UK, the USA and several Caribbean states. India is not on it, and INFOTECH says MOI certificates are not accepted, with no exceptions.

INFOTECH also notes that some certificates, such as IELTS, are valid for two years, and your certificate must still be valid on the application deadline (15 January or 15 July). Computer Science and COMMAS do not state a validity rule.

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