Generally speaking, although it is not very difficult to apply for studying in Germany, China students still need to meet certain application conditions if they want to study in German universities. Then, what are the conditions for applying for preparatory courses, undergraduate courses, graduate students and doctoral students in Germany? What are the language requirements for studying in Germany? Please see the details I have compiled below.

General requirements for applying for studying in Germany

Age requirements: First of all, students from China must be 18 years old.

Education Requirements: Students who have graduated from high school and successfully entered China University, and have studied in the university for at least several semesters as required by the German Audit Department, have the preliminary requirements for applying for public universities in Germany. Applicants who graduated from high school and were not admitted to universities are not qualified to apply to German public universities, so please don't waste time and money on applying to German universities. You can choose Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries to study according to your actual situation.

Language requirements: German courses require applicants to provide at least 800 German class hours, and English courses require IELTS or TOEFL scores. See the course admission requirements of specific German universities for specific scores.

APS audit requirements: complete the audit according to the requirements of the German overseas students audit department and get the APS certificate for studying in Germany. Art students who are qualified for admission to German art universities can take the examination of art applicants by the examination department without face-to-face examination.

Please note that although the current German education system has completely changed from the original master's degree system to the master's degree system, the choice of undergraduate courses is still very few, and most of the majors are restricted by NC. So please pay special attention when choosing courses. It is also a good choice if you can finish your undergraduate course in China and continue to apply for a master's degree in Germany.

Language tests and requirements for applying for studying in Germany

There are two ways to study in Germany, one is to teach in English, which requires IELTS, and the other is to teach in German, which requires DSH or TestDaF.

Ielts, mbth international English language testing system, is jointly managed by the Foreign Language Testing Department of Cambridge University Examinations Committee, the British Council and IDP Education Group. This is an English proficiency test for those who intend to study, work or settle in English-speaking countries.

IELTS is divided into two categories: academic and training, which are aimed at students who apply for studying abroad and those who plan to work or immigrate in English-speaking countries. The exam is divided into four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, with a total score of 9 points.

The full name of the DSH test is "German Test for Foreign Applicants in German Universities" (Deutsche Sprach Prü fung fü r den Hochschulzugausl? Ndischer Studienbewerber). It is organized by German universities separately, but the basic model is unified. The key point is to examine students' oral and written understanding, processing and expression ability of the provided articles. So the exam includes two parts: written test and oral test (some schools can dispense with oral test according to the excellent performance of students in written test).

DSH is usually held at the beginning of the semester. The admission notice issued by the school to the applicant will indicate the time and place of DSH. Many universities have preparatory courses for DSH. When applying for admission, they should send a letter to Akademisches Auslandsamt asking if they can attend. 1In February, 1994, the joint meeting of German university presidents changed the original examination name PNDS to DSH (Deutsche Sprach Prü fung fü r den hochschchulzugang Ausl? Ndischer Studienbewerber). It is also stipulated that no matter which university or language training center in Germany you pass, your grades will be recognized by all universities in Germany.

TestDaF (Telford) is a German language test for foreign learners of German or people who just want to prove their German level.

TestDaF questions were put forward and graded by the German TestDaF Examination Institute. Held in specialized examination centers around the world; According to the test results, all candidates will receive different levels of certificates issued by TestDaF Examination Institute.
