Admission to Germany — step by step, fact by fact
The essentials at a glance: school and recognition, language, applications, deadlines, visa and finances. Exact figures change every year — we mark them “to be confirmed.”
- School & recognition
- Whether you need a Studienkolleg or one year of university at home depends on how your school-leaving qualification is recognized for direct entry; if you're transferring from a university, curriculum matching matters. The exact path depends on your situation.
- Language of instruction
- German or English; a language certificate at the required level is needed — level depends on the program
- How you apply
- Directly to the university, and/or via uni-assist, and/or via credential recognition; for restricted-admission subjects (Numerus Clausus, e.g. medicine) — through Hochschulstart.
- Semesters & deadlines
- Winter and summer semester; deadlines vary — dates depend on the program and your current qualification
- Visa & finances
- Student visa (non-EU/EEA), blocked account from 992 euros/month depends on your admission goal plus insurance. The blocked account is a requirement of the consulate, not the university.
- Extra costs
- University and uni-assist fees, visa fee, language courses, accommodation — amounts depend on your situation
Figures (blocked-account amount, fees, deadlines, required levels) are updated every year and confirmed for your specific program, your current level of education and your individual circumstances. We'll give you the exact numbers during your consultation.
