Can Malaysians Study in Germany Without Knowing German?
Yes! You don’t need to learn German to study in Germany if you apply for an English-taught program.
📌 For English-Taught Programs: You need IELTS (6.0–6.5) or TOEFL (80–100).
📌 For German-Taught Programs: You need TestDaF, DSH, or Goethe Certification (B2–C1 level).
