• More than 2,000 Indian students are currently enrolled at SRH.
• Over 100 state-accredited, English-taught degree programmes.

Note: this is a university press release, so treat it as the university's own description.

Why Indian Students Are Choosing Germany

The release cites DAAD data: 59,419 Indian students were enrolled in German higher education in 2024/25, compared with 28,905 in 2020, more than double. That makes study in Germany for Indian students one of the fastest-growing options.

At SRH, popular choices among Indian students are engineering, computer science, IT, data science, business administration and MBA, and supply chain.

Campuses and Teaching Style

SRH has focused its international recruitment on five campuses:

• Flagship: Berlin and Heidelberg, with the widest English-taught choice and priority investment in facilities and student services.
• Core: Leipzig, Dresden and Gera, with selected English-taught programmes. Leipzig is planned to add a biotechnology focus from 2028.

Teaching follows the university's "CORE Principle": intensive learning, practical application and continuous assessment in small groups with industry links. This suits students looking for English-taught programmes in Germany with a practical focus.

Entry Routes and Your Application Checklist

SRH says international students who already have university access in their home country can enter bachelor's programmes directly, and foundation options are available for those who need more preparation.

1. Check your eligibility for the course and campus you want.
2. Start your APS certificate early, as it is mandatory for the German student visa.
3. Prepare English test scores, SOP, CV and academic documents.
4. Compare fees and living costs, since SRH is a private university.
5. Plan your blocked account and visa appointment well before your intake.

• Direct entry or foundation: which applies to you
• Full document checklist for your course
• Budget plan for a private university
