An entrance qualification for the German higher education system is a general prerequisite for admittance to the programme of study. This can be provided in the form of:

  • Higher education entrance qualification acquired abroad
  • International Baccalaureate (IB)
  • Academic degree acquired abroad

The DAAD database on admission requirements allows international students to check whether their higher education entrance qualification is recognised in Germany.

For programmes without limited admission numbers such as StREaM, there is no selection procedure.
Anyone who meets the admission requirements and applies in due form and time will be admitted to the study programme.

VISA:

An enrolment certificate is needed for the visa appointment.
In some countries it can take a very long time to get an appointment at the German embassy. Therefore, it is recommended to book a visa appointment as early as possible, even if the applicant has not received the enrolment certificate yet. However, it is important to bring the enrolment certificate to the visa appointment.

Nationals of non-EU states must demonstrate, when applying for a visa, that they have sufficient financial means (currently €934 per month) for the first year of their studies.
