Study in Germany

Engineering excellence meets affordable education

In short

How the education system works in Germany

Higher education in Germany is structured around bachelor's and master's degrees, followed by doctoral studies. Bachelor's degrees typically involve six to seven semesters of study, while master's degrees usually require an additional three to four semesters. The teaching style often combines lectures, seminars, and practical work, with an emphasis on independent study and research. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is widely used to measure academic workload.

Language requirements

For programs taught in German, prospective students typically need to demonstrate proficiency through tests such as the TestDaF or the DSH. For programs offered in English, commonly accepted tests include the IELTS Academic and the TOEFL iBT. Some institutions may also accept other international English language qualifications.

Scholarships, funding and sports awards

The scholarship landscape in Germany includes various opportunities, though international students often need to actively seek these out. Government-funded schemes, such as those offered by the German Academic Exchange Service, are available, alongside some institutional aid. However, securing full funding can be competitive.

Sports scholarships are not a prominent feature of the German higher education system in the same way they are in some other countries. While universities may have sports facilities and clubs, direct athletic scholarships that cover tuition or living expenses are uncommon. Students interested in combining academics with sports should inquire directly with individual institutions about any support or opportunities they might offer.

After you graduate

After completing their studies, international graduates in Germany may be eligible to apply for a residence permit to seek employment. The duration of this permit allows graduates time to find a job that matches their qualifications. These rules are subject to change, and students should always confirm the latest regulations with official government sources.
