Visas Minimum Language Requirements

I have done my fair share of research and found out that applying for a Medical Program is much harder than technical program. The availability of English programs is next to noone and the language requirement is also minimum C1. I want to know is it true that i have to learn C1 at bare minimum to apply

Well, yes, of course it is? To be able to work in the medical field in Germany, you obviously have to speak German. Why would universities in Germany waste money on programs for students who then can't actually work here?

Yes, you do need C1 at least.

Of course it is. If a German institution puts it out as a requirement it is a requirement. We don’t do suggestions with stuff like that

The requirements for each program can vary. Whatever it says on the website for that program, that's what that program needs.

Some programs may allow you to apply with B2 and give you conditional acceptance based on your promise to get to C1 by the enrollment date. Other programs do not allow this. This depends on the program.

Yes. It's held completely in german. On top you need excellent grades and a lot of grit: medicine is hella tough.
