Applicants who have not acquired their study qualification at a German-speaking institution must provide proof of sufficient German language skills before beginning their studies at the OTH Regensburg. In order to be enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree programme at the OTH Regensburg, proof of language proficiency as listed in the table must be provided:
*Exceptions:
DSH 3 for Master Advanced Nursing Practice
DSH 2 or equivalent for

Recognized as a Substitute
This table refers exclusively to admission to a degree programme at the OTH Regensburg and cannot be applied to other universities.
Documentation of German language proficiency recognized for admission to a course of study at the OTH Regensburg is determined by the Framework Regulations on German Language Examinations for Studies at German Universities (RO-DT) and is conclusive.
Proof of German language skills is a prerequisite for university admission at the OTH Regensburg. This can be acquired through the four recognized language examinations DSH, TestDaF, Studienkolleg Feststellungsprüfung "Deutsch" and DSD/GermanLanguage Diploma with the respective levels required for the field of study.
The language examinations directly recognized at the OTH Regensburg provide the German language skills required for university admission. In order to compensate for the missing university qualifications in accordance with the framework regulations of the HRK, the language certificates to be recognized as a substitute can only be taken into account when the next higher level is reached.
Please note, therefore, that a Goethe-Certificate B2, for example, cannot replace a DSH examination even if it is classified as such in the Common European Framework of Reference.
Persons holding a school-leaving certificate that corresponds to a German university entrance qualification are completely exempt from providing proof of language skills required to study.
