Additional note for language of instruction

• All courses, except the international Master's degree programs are held in German
• Students must demonstrate proficiency in German by proving they have had at least 900 hours of German corresponding to C1 according to the European reference frame
• Exchange students who cannot prove this are required to participate in the pre-semester intensive German course and submit a proof of a minimum of 400 hours of coursework in German corresponding to A2 according to the European reference frame by the time of application (i.e. it is possible for exchange students to take only English taught classes as long as students participate in the intensive German language course offered in September and March).
• If your German is below B1, you are required an additional proof of English proficiency of at least B1 (This regulation does not apply to native speakers of English)
• You must apply for the German course through the registration portal when applying directly to Stuttgart
