Can you get in?
- Academic requirements
- A Bachelor’s degree in an engineering programme is required. We strongly recommend applicants from non-EU countries like India, Pakistan, China, etc. to submit the results of an international standard graduate test. This will strongly improve your chances of admission, since only about 10% of our applicants get an admission to our Master’s programme. The submission of a standard graduate test makes it much easier for you to show and for us to assess your academic performance.full text

From your country
General requirements for master'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.
Living in Erlangen
A small city with one big university, a medical-technology industry and a twelve-day beer festival on a hill.
Erlangen has about 120,000 residents and around 40,000 students at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU), so the university sets the rhythm of the place, with a palace garden where people sit on the lawns between lectures and the headquarters of Siemens…
