Question 17

What academic qualifications do I need to apply directly to a university in Germany?

Accepted Answer

You will need an upper secondary school leaving certificate equivalent to the German Abitur and possibly an entrance exam. You will also need a C1 level of German proficiency for a bachelor's program, and a recognised bachelor's degree with above-average grades for entry to a master's program.

Question 18

What are the language requirements to enrol at a German university?

Accepted Answer

Usually, you will need a German language proficiency of C1 level. During our Pathway program, we'll prepare you for the official German language tests before you enter university in Germany. Furthermore, we offer official German language tests such as telc or TestDaF on campus to facilitate your progression towards your university studies.

Question 19

Do I need to attend a Studienkolleg?

Accepted Answer

Our University Pathway program will provide you with a free-of-charge evaluation of your academic background. If your diploma or academic qualifications is not fully accepted as equal to the German equivalent (usually the German Abitur), you will need to attend a Studienkolleg before entering university. Studienkollegs offer a preparation program covering a variety of subjects, taught in German. The program concludes with a final exam called Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) – you will need to pass this to apply directly to any German university.

Question 20

What are the academic requirements for entering a Studienkolleg?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your chosen subject and country of origin, you might need German proficiency of at least a B2 level to enter a public or private Studienkolleg. You will also usually need to take an entry test – there are numerous Studienkollegs in Germany, and several entry tests can be taken at different Studienkollegs. We will help you with selecting the right Studienkolleg for your needs and arranging the entry tests. You will be able to take preparatory courses at Alpadia to make sure you pass the competitive entry tests of your preferred Studienkollegs.

Question 21

Do I need a visa to study in Germany?

Accepted Answer

EU applicants do not need a visa for the Academic Pathway Program.

Non-EU applicants: A study-applicant-visa will allow you to improve your German at our schools in Berlin or Freiburg while you learn about the study options available to you in Germany. Once you've fulfilled the language requirements, you will be able to get a student visa without the need to go back to your home country.

Question 22

Do I need to open a blocked bank account?

Accepted Answer

Non-EU applicants must provide proof of adequate financial resources before moving to Germany.

To do this, you will have to open a blocked bank account during your visa application, which will serve as proof of funds. Once money is deposited, you cannot withdraw funds until you arrive in Germany (which is why it is called a ‘blocked’ account), and it is worth noting that there will be a monthly limit to how much you can withdraw.

Our Pathways team will help with your visa application and answer any questions you have on opening a blocked bank account.

Question 23

Can I work in Germany as a student?

Accepted Answer

EU applicants have full working rights in Germany.

Non-EU applicants: During the preparatory phase it is not possible to work as a student or at best it might be possible to work during the winter and summer holidays. However, once you enter university, it is possible to work part-time as a student in Germany.

Question 24

Do I have to leave Germany upon finishing my university studies?

Accepted Answer

EU applicants can reside in Germany with no restrictions.

Non-EU applicants: Upon successfully finishing your degree of choice at a recognized German university, you can receive an 18-months-long visa to look for a job in your field of expertise. During this period, you have the right to do unspecialized student jobs. Once you receive a job contract in your field of expertise you can switch from a student visa to a job visa without having to go back to your home country.

Accepted Answer

Of course! Our minimum booking is one week, but if you decide you would like to study for more weeks or less (providing it’s still more than one) our student advisors will be more than happy to help arrange that for you.

If you have booked a time slot for one time and would like to change, for example, from the evening in your country to a time in the morning or afternoon, you will be able to move on a weekly basis subject to availability.

Todas las escuelas de Kaplan International Languages tienen un miembro senior del personal ("Líder de protección local") que es responsable de la seguridad de los estudiantes menores de 18 años.

El toque de queda para los menores que asisten a clases de adultos es a las 23:00 horas.
Se requiere que los estudiantes asistan a todas las clases y cualquier ausencia será seguida inmediatamente (dentro de los 30 minutos del comienzo de la clase).

Las excepciones a esta regla son cuando la escuela tiene un alojamiento residencial adecuado para estudiantes de 16 o 17 años o cuando los padres han dado su consentimiento por escrito para que su hijo viva con un adulto adecuado que conocen. La escuela debe tener confirmación de la dirección de este alojamiento privado antes de la llegada y, en caso de cambio de dirección, el estudiante debe informar a la escuela.
