17 Universities in Germany Without IELTS (2027 Intake)

City: Kaiserslautern / Landau | Level: Master’s programs, university-wide

IELTS alternative: a narrower policy than most on this list — RPTU waives the test only if your degree was completed in a country where English is the state language. A Pakistani applicant with an English-medium bachelor’s completed in Pakistan is unlikely to qualify under this specific wording, since English is not Pakistan’s state language.

Standard test scores otherwise: TOEFL iBT 79/80, IELTS 6.0. If you are counting on an exemption, RPTU is the university on this list to double-check most carefully before applying. RPTU was formed from a 2023 merger of two technical universities, so some of its program pages may still carry older wording from before the merger — always confirm you are reading the current, merged institution’s policy rather than an archived page from one of the two predecessor universities.
