What level of German language skills is necessary for applying to MS in Computer Science in Germany(fall 2026) to secure a job after graduation? I’m a third-year BTech CSE student and will begin German language study now.
t’s not just about getting into the program, but also about your future career. For an English-taught MSCS, you might technically get away with A1 or A2 for university admission. But for jobs, you’ll need significantly more.
While many programs are in English, daily life and most companies in Germany operate in German. For a job, you’re looking at a minimum of B2, ideally C1. B2 allows you to communicate effectively in most work situations, while C1 demonstrates a high level of fluency.
