I want to pursue Ph.D from Germany, Denmark or Norway. I got 5.5 in IELTS. Is it possible to get admission for Ph.D? Which country is good?

Hi Shriya, Your IELTS score is very low. An overall score of 6.5 is required for any PG level course in the world. But IELTS alone is not going to give you admission. And also depending on how good your profile is this current score may be considered. It is true not just for Germany but also the other two countries you mentioned. Germany is a research hub so it should be your first preference. You must have had very good marks in your Masters, publications, papers, projects, etc. For any Ph.D applicant, relevant paperwork is very important. Knowledge of German language is highly suggested. I will advise you to check options in all these countries, write to the universities and the research heads of the department, rigorous follow up is required. Some high-level recommendation letters are also required to get through the network. Talk to people you know for your LOR. For now start checking with the universities.

You for Germany and Norway it is possible to get admission with 5.5 band in IELTS. But for Denmark you have to score at least 6.5 band. Germany is good for you because currently German degrees have more demand. You have to also learn their native language because many universities teach in their own language.
