College Admission Procedures

Lots of international students take admissions and complete a study program here every year. There is no heavy study fee in Germany but students have to arrange living expenses on their own while they study in Germany. Admission of international students to Undergraduate Studies in Germany needs a one-year 'bridge program' to be completed. After completion of the bridge program, students from most of the overseas countries are required to pass an assessment test in order to get admission into a German institution for the equivalent of the Bachelors degree. However, there is an exemption of taking this assessment test to students who have cleared some of the prestigious entrance examinations of their home country. 

This however depends on the different guidelines that are followed by the respective Institutions of Germany, where the students are seeking admission. Students who have successfully completed two years of undergraduate studies are also exempted from the assessment test. However, they have to prove their aptitude in the German language. Admission to Postgraduate Courses in Germany needs generally a four-year bachelor's degree but in many Institutions a three-year bachelor's degree is also accepted.

The filled applications have to be sent back to the university along with the required documents. The attached documents must normally be authenticated copies of certificates.
