Last updated: 27 August 2026 · Verified against official sources

The total of 12 used for progression into a TGU bachelor’s programme is not automatically enough for a double degree. The partner university and current application guide determine the language condition.

Examples from the 2026/27 guide

ProgrammeStated TestDaF condition
Industrial EngineeringTDN 4 in all four sections
Mechatronics EngineeringTDN 4 in all four sections
Computer EngineeringTDN 4 in all four sections
Electrical and Electronics EngineeringTDN 4 in all four sections

These are examples from the 2026/27 DAAD-YÖK document and must not be generalised to every programme or year.

Why 12 may not be enough

TDN 3 in every section and a total of 12 is TGU’s bachelor’s progression rule. A partner may require TDN 4 in every section for study in Germany and the double degree.

Check beyond language

  • Current double-degree and scholarship notice.
  • Minimum ECTS and GPA.
