From your country
General requirements for bachelor's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
🇳🇵 Applying from Nepal
- No APS certificate required — Nepal isn't on Germany's APS list, so you skip the academic-credential interview India and China need. Transcripts and certificates still go through uni-assist.
- Budget for the blocked account (~€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy in Kathmandu).
- Book your visa slot at the Kathmandu embassy as soon as your admission letter lands — appointment availability moves with the season.
🇵🇰 Applying from Pakistan
- No APS certificate required (as of 2026) — your file is checked through uni-assist and the mission instead. Get transcripts and certificates HEC-attested before you apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (~€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- Visa-section appointment slots in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore move fast in peak season — book the day your admission letter arrives.
🇬🇭 Applying from Ghana
- No APS certificate required — WAEC (BECE/WASSCE) certificates and certified university transcripts decide your file instead, checked via uni-assist.
- The Accra mission requires an in-person visa appointment (no walk-ins) and has discontinued its own translation desk — arrange certified translations independently ahead of time.
- Budget for the blocked account (~€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy in Accra).
🇨🇲 Applying from Cameroon
- No APS certificate required — transcripts and certificates are checked through uni-assist and the embassy instead; academic attestations can also come from the Cultural Service of the Cameroonian Embassy.
- Every visa application goes through the German Embassy in Yaoundé — there is no German consulate elsewhere in the country. Book the appointment as soon as your admission letter arrives.
- Budget for the blocked account (~€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
🇺🇸 Applying from the United States
- No pre-arrival student visa for most study stays — Americans can enter Germany and apply for the residence permit at the local Ausländerbehörde after landing. Verify your exact case with your nearest German mission first.
- The blocked account is still required despite the "no visa" framing — the same ~€11,904/year as every other corridor, before your residence-permit appointment.
- US health insurance isn't accepted for German enrollment or the residence permit — budget for a German-compliant statutory or private student plan before you fly.
🇨🇳 Applying from China
- The APS China certificate (aps.org.cn, Beijing) is mandatory before any visa application — notarized transcripts, your Gaokao score, and usually an interview. Start it before you finish applying to programs, not after your admission letter arrives.
- File at the mission covering your home region — the Embassy in Beijing, or the Consulates General in Shanghai, Guangzhou or Chengdu. The wrong mission won't take your application.
- Budget for the blocked account (~€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy) on top of the APS fee.
Living in Berlin
Germany's capital and its biggest student city: four public research universities, more than 30 other colleges, and residents from about 190 countries.
Berlin has 3.7 million inhabitants, the most of any city inside the European Union, and it is also a federal state of its own. It has been the capital again since 1999, after being split by a wall from 1961 to 1989, and you can still stand in the places where…
