- How to apply
- Online application (STiNE)
- Deadline
- 1 June–15 July for the winter semester
- School certificateCountry rule
- Your school certificate must count as a German higher-education entrance qualification (HZB). If it does not, the usual route is a Studienkolleg with an assessment test (Feststellungsprüfung) or one to two years of university study at home. The university makes the final decision.
- LanguageCountry rule
- Most bachelor programmes are taught in German and need German at B2 or higher (often DSH-2 or TestDaF 4 in all parts by enrolment); English-taught programmes need English proof instead.
- Tuition (non-EU)Country rule
- No tuition at most public universities, only a semester contribution (about €70–430).
