The page says the intake is limited and that the test may be used to allocate the available places between the two focus areas, but publishes no number of places and no ranking list.

180-209 ECTS is admissible, but proof of the missing credits (max 30 ECTS) is a condition for passing the master's examination and must be obtained by the start of the third semester, via relevant professional experience (two years counts for up to 30 ECTS) or relevant undergraduate university courses.
- Subject background
- A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and/or computer science or a related subject with at least 210 ECTS. Applicants choose a focus - Electronic and Communication Systems (ENS) or Automation (AT) - when applying, otherwise one is assigned.

This is one of only two English-taught DIT master's pages that state the ECTS requirement on the page itself.
- Minimum grade
- A bachelor's degree with an overall grade of at least 'good'. The SPO additionally waives the aptitude test for an overall result of 2.5 or better.

The only English-taught DIT programme that names a grade bar on the page, which contradicts the Applications page statement that no programme requires a specific GPA; the programme page is the more specific source.

No source says how a foreign grade is converted to the German scale, which matters here because the page sets a grade bar of "good".
- English
- Level B2. IELTS 5.5 in every section · TOEFL iBT 72 · Home Edition not accepted · Duolingo not accepted · PTE 59. Cambridge: First Certificate in English (FCE) at B2. B2 band in the campus table: TOEFL iBT 72-94, IELTS 5.5-6.5 in each section, PTE Academic 59-75, TOEIC listening 400-485 and reading 385-450, telc B2.

Exemption: One exemption, without a request: a German university entrance qualification (Abitur, Fachhochschulreife etc., obtained in Germany or at a German school abroad) with English as a graduating subject, and it covers B2 only, not C1. The exemption for proof of a completed degree programme conducted in English was withdrawn in November 2026; the application page now states that a Medium of Instruction certificate cannot be accepted.

The value is the lower end of the CEFR band the table prints, i.e. the minimum that satisfies the requirement, and the IELTS minimum applies to every section. Duolingo is not accepted: the DIT FAQ states "Duolingo English certificates will NOT be accepted".
- German
- When applying: A2 is mandatory; without it applicants may not sit the entrance test. During studies: German courses B1 (1+2) and B1 (3+4) are part of the curriculum from summer semester 2027

The SPO in force from summer semester 2027 moved the A2 proof to application time; the 2020 version only required it by the end of studies. This is the only English-taught DIT master's that needs German before admission.

The page ties the requirement to summer semester 2027 and prints a deadline of 15 September 2026, which had already passed on 2026-11-07; DIT does not say whether the deadline recurs annually.

If attending in person is impossible, an online test through an external provider costs 27.30 USD. The test is waived for an overall result of 2.5 or better.

“No, a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate cannot be accepted as proof of English language proficiency. An official English language certificate, such as IELTS or TOEFL, is mandatory for your application.”
www.th-deg.de/en/apply · checked 14 November 2026
Until November 2026 the prospective-students FAQ also exempted applicants who could show "Proof of completed degree programme conducted in English". That line has gone from the FAQ, the three campus language-requirement PDFs (version 04.11.2026) list only the German-qualification route in their English column, and the application page now answers the question whether Medium of Instruction certificates are accepted with no. The one exemption DIT still prints needs a German university entrance qualification with English as a graduating subject and covers B2 only, so it is not open to applicants from India, Nigeria or Pakistan.

The page points Indian applicants to https://aps-india.de. The certificate is due by the end of the application deadline: the prospective-students FAQ says "Your APS certficate and language certificate should be delivered by the end of application deadline." DIT no longer publishes the exception it used to state for applicants who are already in Europe, so none is recorded.

DIT says the requirement "applies to numerous programs" without naming them, so it is recorded on every master's programme; the page prints a deadline of 15 September 2026, which had already passed on 2026-11-07, and does not say whether it recurs annually.
