German requirement for English-taught programs
Verfasst: Sa 31. Jan 2026, 10:56
Dear team,
I am an international student interested in the b.sc. in Earth System Physics (Englsh-taught). The program page outlines the entry requirement to have a proof of English proficiency, as expected.
However, on another page I saw this page
https://www.uni-hamburg.de/en/campuscen ... hluss.html
saying all ''If you are admitted to study at Universität Hamburg, you must prove sufficient knowledge of the German language...'' under the ''Certificate attesting to German language proficiency'' section.
I am a bit confused by it. Does it mean I have to provide a German language proficiency proof, even if I am to study a fully English-taught program? The page mentions no exception for this case.
Could you kindly clarify the matter?
