What is happening in the German application calendar
We hold the deadline for every one of the 1,818 English-taught degrees in Germany on this site, so we can see the shape of the year before anyone else does. These are the pieces worth writing about it. Every figure below is read from the catalogue when the page is built, not typed in.
Applying from outside the EU, the application form is the fast part. These six things are the slow part, and five of them are out of your hands once started.
1,027 of the 1,818 English-taught degrees we track charge no tuition at all. That is true, and it is not the same as free. The real number, line by line.
Germany does not have one application deadline, it has two rounds and about a thousand individual dates. Here is the whole year in order, with the days that actually matter marked.
