General information about studying in Germany
Important
Completing a degree at a university requires patience. Spaces in preparatory German language courses are limited. Because of this, it is possible that you – despite a very strong academic record – will not receive acceptance to your desired program the first time you apply.
Find out about your options. In Germany, a vocational training programme/apprenticeship (Ausbildung) or a dual studies programme (duale Ausbildung) can also open up doors to a great career.
