7 Vital Steps To Study In Germany (checklist) by kitanga: 12:12am On Feb 03, 2019
If you are looking for information on what is exactly required to study in Germany or you are muddled about what steps you have to take, then this article is for you.
I have simplified the entire process of studying in Germany as an international student (Nigerian) into 7 vital steps. If you follow these steps one by one, you should be able to keep track of where you are right now and what you have to do to achieve your dream of studying in Germany.

Below are the 7 Vital Steps:

Search For Study Program.
Meet All Criteria/Requirements.
Try Learn Basic German Language.
Look For Financial Resources.
Apply For Admission.
Apply For Your German Student Visa.
Search For Accommodation.


1. Search For Study Program
Your first step is finding a university and selecting a study program that suits your interests. There are many universities and several study programs out there irrespective of your area of specialization, there’ll definitely be a study program that may match your learning aspirations and future plans.

Here is the list of top universities in Germany as of 2018.


2. Meet All Criteria/Requirements
Now that you simply have settled for a university and study program you must check out all the requirements. For this purpose, you check the university web site and their admission needs section. If there are stuff you don’t understand , don’t hesitate to contact the university directly.

Entry needs are totally different for each the university and also the kind of course you decide on, therefore it’s suggested to scan go through requirements section multiple times.

Bad Bad schedule and missing documents are the foremost common problems that happen at this stage and each will cause delayed admission or maybe rejected applications. To avoid such chance you need to prepare these documents early enough.

Further legalizations of your documents might have an identical time interval till they’re issued to you. Taken any occasional delay originating from the nature of the method, you need to begin making ready your documents a minimum of four months before applying for admission at the university.

3. Learn Basic German Language
Learning German from scratch might be tough, but if you start at the time you come to Germany you will end up speaking German. Your success at university depends upon your skills in the German language, even if your is program is in English Language. We recommend starting at least 6 months ahead of the beginning of one’s course (or until the application form if German language proficiency is a requirement) to acquire a basic comprehension of the German language.



Having a comprehension in the German language guarantees you will understand study materials and also what is taught in lectures.

4. Find Financial Resources
The next step is ensuring you have the finances that are required to study and live from Germany. For the existing law, each foreign non-EU or non-EEA student should have proper ways to finance their stay throughout their studies.

Being a international student in Germany, you should have a minimum of 8,640 euros that will be enough to pay the worth of living for the first year of one’s studies. This minimum quantity of money has to be paid into a German blocked account.

For an foreign student, It may take some time to gather and really is a huge amount of money. It’s suggested you start saving cash a long time prior to starting your university application method, except you’re awarded a scholarship.

5. Apply For Admission
Submit the application after cross-checking requisite documents. Applications are mostly done online, tho some schools may want to receive applications only in person or by post.

Contact your university to see you which way you can submit your application. Many German universities are part of the national university online application platform known as UniAssist. Also, there are universities that run their own online admission platform on their website.

You must submit your application once the call for application is opened and then wait for the admission letter.

6. Get Your German Student Visa
In the event you are students originating from a non-EU and non-EEA country you must get yourself a German student visa. To do so, you must first reach the German embassy in your home country as soon as you get the admission letter and request step by step guidance about the best way to get your student visa.

By the moment you contact the embassy personally, make sure to have proper financial means of studying in Germany. Furthermore, they’ll ask that you get health insurance before they issue your student visa.

7. Find Accommodation
(If possible two weeks before your landing in Germany)

Now that you are officially an admitted student in Germany and also you have your student visa you need to consider an area in which to stay.

Accommodation for international students isn’t so costly but as a foreign student, you need to work hard to locate the most financially appropriate place for yourself.

We advise that you give priority to this as it can cost you plenty of time that you would use to study. Bearing that in mind, you may try to locate an accommodation online before landing in Germany.

Ultimately, unless you find something which fits for you personally, atleast there are resources to contact to secure your accommodation the day you land in Germany. Much like the steps explained above, you should find accommodation after you gain your student visa.

Hi Kitanga
My brother and i found a course we would llike to apply for,
https://www.tum.de/studium/studienangebot/detail/research-on-teaching-and-learning-master-of-education-med/

My question is about certifying my documents.
do i need to have a copy of my BSc Transcript to apply or certify them at the embassy first before applying
Because my school is insisting on sending the transcript directly to an address (embassy) and not handing it over to me.
