If you did not complete your first degree at a German-speaking university, you will need to provide proof of sufficient German language proficiency when you enroll (not when you apply). This applies to all master’s programs taught in German or German and English.

If you completed your degree abroad but obtained your higher education entrance eligibility (e.g., Abitur) at a German-speaking institution, you can submit this as proof (e.g., Abitur certificate).

You will need to submit your German language certificate by the start of the semester at the latest (1 October for the winter semester; 1 April for the summer semester). For an overview of all German language certificates recognized by Universität Hamburg, please see www.uni-hamburg.de/deutschkenntnisse.
