Can I study in English?

Yes. Many programmes are offered in German and/or English. Typically B2–C1 is required in the language of instruction; English-taught programmes usually ask for IELTS/TOEFL as specified.

Are there entrance exams?

Admission is usually document-based without entrance exams. Creative fields may require a portfolio/aptitude test.

Can I change my field?

For a second Bachelor you may choose a new field. For a second Master, programmes typically require a related background and sufficient ECTS in core subjects.

What if my home university isn’t recognised in Germany?

You would usually start with one year at a Studienkolleg in Germany; afterwards you can choose your field freely.

What are common deadlines?

Intakes for winter and summer terms. Typical ranges: ~1 September–15 January and ~1 February–15 July, depending on university/programme; some via uni-assist.
