University admission
Submission of documents for admission to German universities is possible twice a year:
Most German universities receive a huge number of applications and the competition is very high. Therefore, in order to maximize the chances of enrollment, we recommend that you choose a faculty and prepare a package of documents in advance . For example, if you wish to be enrolled for the next winter semester, send an application by the end of February, because if you apply in March or April, admission for the winter semester is not guaranteed. Those who apply in March or April and do not make it into the winter stream can start classes in March next year. If you send the collected package of documents after May 1, be mindful of the fact that your chance of getting a place in the winter semester is minimal. The deadlines for submitting documents to German universities are quite strict and if you are late your documents will not be accepted for consideration.
Admission to the Studienkolleg
Before entering a German university, all foreign applicants, as a rule, graduate from a preparatory educational institution – a Studienkolleg. Read more about Studienkollegs here .
