Worth knowing before you choose

·Choose the university for the programme, not the other way round: requirements and deadlines differ between programmes of the same university
·Universities of applied sciences (Hochschule) focus on practice and are usually less competitive; universities focus on research and lead to a doctorate
·Apply to 3–5 universities: the competition of grades is unpredictable
