Application process
Navigating Uni-Assist and direct applications
Germany is decentralised — requirements differ per university, and small errors cost whole intakes.

- Step 2
Obtain an APS certificate if required for your country
- Step 3
Prepare certified copies and translations of all academic documents
- Step 4
Submit by 15 July (winter) or 15 January (summer) — dates vary by university
- Step 5
Open a blocked account once you hold an admission letter
- Step 6
Book your national visa appointment and prepare for the interview
