What language exams do I need to prepare for studying in Germany?
1. There are two ways to study in Germany. One is to teach in English, which requires IELTS, and the other is to teach in German, which requires DSH or TestDaF.

2. IELTS, mbth international English language testing system, is jointly managed by the Foreign Language Testing Department of Cambridge University Examinations Committee, the British Council and IDP Education Group. This is an English proficiency test for those who intend to study, work or settle in English-speaking countries.

IELTS is divided into two categories: academic and training, which are aimed at students who apply for studying abroad and those who plan to work or immigrate in English-speaking countries. The exam is divided into four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, with a total score of 9 points.

It is organized by German universities separately, but the basic model is unified. The key point is to examine students' oral and written understanding, processing and expression ability of the provided articles. So the exam includes two parts: written test and oral test (some schools can dispense with oral test according to the excellent performance of students in written test).

Many universities have pre-test classes for DSH. When applying for admission, they should send a letter to Akademisches Auslandsamt asking if they can attend. 1In February, 1994, the joint meeting of German university presidents changed the original examination name PNDS to DSH (Deutsche Sprach Prü fung fü r den hochschchulzugang Ausl? Ndischer Studienbewerber). It is also stipulated that no matter which university or language training center in Germany you pass, your grades will be recognized by all universities in Germany.
