Germany / Admissions
Confirm qualification recognition, course prerequisites and language requirements with the university. Check whether the course uses direct applications or uni-assist, and whether applicants educated in India need APS verification.
Germany / Programmes
Use DAAD study resources and the institution’s course page. Check English or German teaching requirements, curriculum, campus and course-specific deadlines; admissions are not governed by one universal language score.
Germany / Costs
APPLIES · 2026 financial requirement
The official study-visa page specifies a blocked-account minimum of €11,904 in 2026; a scholarship or declaration of commitment can be another route. Add tuition where charged, semester contributions, insurance and arrival costs.
Germany / Scholarships
DAAD’s scholarship database lists its awards and selected other funding providers. The programme call determines the eligible applicant profile, documents and deadline; admission and scholarship selection are separate.
Germany / Visa
The official study route requires admission to a state-recognised institution and the relevant financial and language evidence. Check nationality-specific application instructions and prepare health-insurance documentation.
Germany / Work & graduation
Official guidance describes up to 140 full or 280 half working days yearly, or up to 20 hours weekly, with separate student-job provisions. After successful graduation, eligible applicants can seek permission for up to 18 months to find skilled employment.
Germany / India-specific updates
APPLIES · Affected Summer 2027 and later master’s applicants
APS India has published updated qualification rules and dMAT procedures affecting specified master’s applicant groups for Summer 2027 and later. Read the current subject-group, prior-registration and completed-APS exceptions before assuming the test applies to you.
Germany / Arrival & housing
Confirm housing through a trusted provider, read the tenancy and cancellation terms, and check deposits before payment. Prepare insurance, enrolment, immigration arrival formalities, emergency contacts and a first-month budget with your institution’s international office.
Germany / India qualification recognition
APPLIES · Affected undergraduate recognition pathways from Winter Semester 2026/27
APS India’s news states that revised recognition criteria from Winter Semester 2026/27 include an overall 70% minimum in the Indian Class XII certificate. Check the full pathway and transitional rules; this does not replace university-specific admissions or apply as a universal master’s entry score.
