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
| Programme | Stated TestDaF condition |
|---|---|
| Industrial Engineering | TDN 4 in all four sections |
| Mechatronics Engineering | TDN 4 in all four sections |
| Computer Engineering | TDN 4 in all four sections |
| Electrical and Electronics Engineering | TDN 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.
