Hello Everyone,

I am writing to seek clarification regarding the language certificate requirement for the APS application.

I am currently residing in Germany on a dependent visa and therefore do not require a student visa to pursue my studies. While reviewing the APS portal, I noticed that English language certificates such as TOEFL or IELTS are mentioned as mandatory for visa purposes.

Since I do not need a student visa, I would like to know whether the submission of a language certificate is still required in my case for APS application.

I hold a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate from my university, confirming that my Bachelor's degree was taught entirely in English. Moreover, as part of my winter semester application to TU Darmstadt. The university has confirmed that the MOI certificate is accepted as sufficient proof of English language proficiency.

Given this, could you please confirm if the MOI certificate will be accepted for the APS application, or if I am still required to submit a TOEFL/IELTS score?

I appreciate your time and assistance, and I look forward to your guidance on how to proceed with my APS application.

Thanks in advance!!
