DSH (Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang) is a university entrance language exam required by most German universities. Our C1 course prepares you for DSH-2 (B2/C1 level).

The Einbürgerungstest requires B1, but integration into professional life typically demands C1 fluency, especially in healthcare and law.
