Requirements for studying in Germany

The specific standards for studying in Germany do not have a clear score requirement, because different universities and majors have different requirements for applicants. Generally speaking, studying in Germany needs to meet the following requirements:

Academic performance: Usually you need to have a bachelor's or master's degree with excellent grades. For master's degree applicants, German universities generally require academic performance to be in the top 20% of domestic undergraduate or postgraduate courses; for doctoral applicants, they need to have relatively outstanding master's academic performance and academic research experience.

Language ability: If the major is taught in German, you need to have a certain level of German. You can prove your language ability through German exams such as TestDaF and TestDaF. For majors taught in English, you need to pass English exams such as TOEFL and IELTS to prove your language proficiency. Usually, German universities require applicants’ language scores to reach a certain score, for example, the TestDaF test requires a B1-B2 level or above.

Academic background and research plan: You need to prepare a resume, transcript, research plan and other materials to apply. Applicants need to demonstrate their academic background and research experience to prove that they have certain knowledge and experience in the field.

Financial ability: You need to prove that you have sufficient financial strength to pay tuition and living expenses. For some majors, you also need to submit bank deposit certificates or letters of guarantee to prove your financial ability when applying.

Health status: Applicants need to provide health certificates, such as physical examination reports, etc.

It should be noted that the above are only some general standards and requirements, and specific requirements will vary among different universities and majors. Applicants should check the specific requirements of their target university for more detailed application requirements.
