There are two main ways to do this. You can join a professional institute like Goethe-Institut (Max Mueller Bhavan). They are the official ones and teachers are very good. Second option is self-study which many students are doing now. You can watch YouTube channels like "Learn German" or use apps like Duolingo. If you are serious, complete A1 and A2 level online by yourself to save money, and then join classes for advanced levels.

Yes, international students who are going for the UG courses are required to speak and understand German language as the main teaching is done in this. The students can't even apply before they submit the proof of German language proficiency which needs to be done by taking tests like TestDaF with a minimum score of 4 in all four sections or Goethe-Zertifikat C1 with at least 80 points.

Yes, for Master degree, many universities offer courses in English. You don't need German language for class. But for daily life, like shopping or talking to the landlord, learning basic A1 or A2 level German is very helpful. For Bachelor courses, it is hard to find English options, they ask for C1 German.

Yes German langauge is very helpful. Even if your course is in English, you need German language for daily life and to find part-time jobs or internships. Most companies prefer candidates who speak at least B1 level German for full-time roles.

It depends on your course. If you choose English taught programme (mostly for Masters), then you don't need advanced German. But, life outside college is hard without language. For grocery shopping, talking to landlord, or finding part-time jobs, you need at least A1 or A2 level German. Also, many companies prefer candidates who speak little bit German.

The answer depends on whether the course of choice of the student is taught in German or English. If we talk about master's programs at Bremen, currently 23 programs are taught in English while 36 are taught in German. So choose a programme and submit the language certificates accordingly.
