Visit the German language proficiency website for information on which language certificates are accepted

 3. Proof of English language skills

 As a student at the University of Hamburg, it is also necessary to have sufficient English language skills. This is because some courses are held in English and students might be required to read literature in English. You don’t need to prove your language skills in the form of a language certificate; an informal confirmation is sufficient.
