As is well known, foreign students have to demonstrate sufficient language skills for admission to German universities. In this context, the telc C1 Hochschule exam has been recognised as valid for most German universities since 12.02.2016 according to the decision of the Rectorates of the universities and the Ministry of Education and according to Article 8 of the RO - DT. The holder of this certificate is considered to have proven his/her language ability.
Please note that the above-mentioned points may be subject to change by the German authorities and/or may differ from one state and/or school to another. Please make sure that you obtain up-to-date, final and definitive information on whether your telc C1 Hochschule certificate is recognised by the school to which you are applying directly from the school to which you are applying. DAS Akademie does not assume any liability or responsibility in this respect.
