German Educare – Your Go-To Expert for Studying in Germany
Do I need to learn German to study in Germany?
It really depends on the language of the course you’re applying for. If the course is taught in German, then yes, you’ll need to know German. But if the course is in English, the language requirements can vary. Some universities won’t require you to know German, while others might expect you to have basic knowledge of the language.
Even if you’re studying in English, it’s still a good idea to learn some German. You’ll find it helpful when you’re out and about, like when shopping at the supermarket or visiting the barber.
