Included because both OVGU's datasheet and DAAD give two teaching languages, but the English share is small: DAAD states 'Courses and examinations will take place mostly in German.' and the only language certificate required at application is German B2. Academic English to C1 (UNIcert III) is taught in the first two semesters. OVGU's own list of English-taught programmes does not include it.

Study mode
Not stated by the university
3 pages checked, 7 Nov 2026

No OVGU page states the teaching mode. Only the Studien- und Prüfungsordnung of each programme would, and the 'Examination regulations' links on the English pages are partly wrong (the Visual Computing page links to the Computervisualistik regulations), so nothing is recorded rather than an assumption of on-campus teaching.

Credits

2 pages checked, 7 Nov 2026

The datasheets and the English-programmes overview give only the standard period of study in semesters. Credit totals appear solely in each programme's Studien- und Prüfungsordnung in the German Verwaltungshandbuch, which is reached through a multi-level index and whose links from the English pages are partly stale, so no figure is recorded.

This mostly German-taught bachelor's requires no English certificate from any applicant (German B2 is its language requirement) and brings students to academic English C1 in the first two semesters, so neither "none" nor a country waiver would describe it.

Rules that name these countries

The rules for your country across all universities, and the visa rules on English tests, are on the India, Pakistan and Nigeria pages.
