What this Germany page means by "without IELTS"

On this page, "without IELTS" does not mean there is no language proof at all. It means the scholarship or linked admission guidance discusses accepted alternatives, exemptions, English-medium study history, or another route besides IELTS alone.

This matters in Germany because scholarship rules and university admission rules are often connected but not identical. Use this page to shortlist the right Germany routes first, then confirm the exact language rule on the official source.
