I'm looking into a bachelor's in Germany, but it only has a Winter Semester start. I am only B2, so I need my C1 certificate. Since I already live in Germany, it makes sense to do that at the University. But it seems like I would have to time getting my C1 certificate during the Summer semester right before the winter semester start? Because if I did it, for example, during the 2025/26 winter semester, then there would be nothing to do during the 2026 summer semester, right? Since the program wouldn't start until the 2026 winter semester... And I'm not sure what I would otherwise do during an "emtpy" semester. (And obviously, this hypothetical scenario assumes I would pass the C1 certificate and be accepted to the university program.) Thanks for any insight.

thats unfortunately how it is.

#

you can find another university maybe that starts in summer semester but if you want to study in that one then you ll just have to wait

#

you can maybe get access to the university material in advance

#

or you can do some self studying if your degree allows it. like computer science you can do a certificate online on your own or something
