To study in Germany, Indian students need a recognised qualification, proof of language skills, an APS certificate, academic documents and, for the visa, proof of funds. The exact list depends on your course and university.
Ask Globro: Am I eligible to study in Germany?Bachelor's Requirements After 12th
The Indian Class 12 certificate alone usually does not give direct admission. Most students need an extra route, such as a Studienkolleg (foundation year), one year of university in India, or JEE Advanced.
Ask Globro: Which bachelor's route fits me?Master's Requirements
For a master's in Germany, universities check your bachelor's subjects, credits (ECTS) and grades. Some programs also ask for GRE or work experience. Worried about grades? Read studying in Germany with a low CGPA.
Ask Globro: Does my degree match a German master's?Language Requirements
English-taught programs usually ask for IELTS or TOEFL. German-taught programs ask for certificates such as TestDaF or DSH. The required score changes from program to program.
APS Certificate for Indian Students
The APS certificate verifies your academic documents. It is mandatory for the German student visa, and it takes time, so start early.
Ask Globro: How do I apply for APS?Documents and Application Process
You will need your academic records, passport, CV, SOP, LORs and test scores. Many universities process applications through uni-assist, while others accept direct applications.
