English-taught programmes across German institutions · built from official sources

The problem

Advising one student on Germany means opening fifteen tabs: the programme page for entry requirements, uni-assist to work out whether their board is even recognised, a PDF for the English threshold, and the local German mission's site for a visa process that differs by nationality.

Then the deadline moves, the blocked-account figure changes for the new year, or a programme switches from German to English — and the notes you built last cycle are quietly wrong.

Multiply that by every student asking about Germany, and the research is costing you more hours than the counselling.

What's inside

The full Germany dataset

Every field you currently chase across university sites, uni-assist, DAAD and the German mission — verified, structured, and in one file.

01

Programme requirements

Entry requirements per programme, mapped to IB, A-Levels, CBSE, ISC and other boards — so you know admissibility before you advise.

02

Application deadlines

Winter and summer semester deadlines per programme, including the earlier uni-assist cut-offs that catch students out.

03

English requirements

Exact IELTS / TOEFL / Cambridge thresholds per programme, plus which programmes are genuinely English-taught and which are not.

04

Tuition & living costs

Semester contributions, non-EU tuition where it applies (incl. Baden-Württemberg), realistic living-cost ranges and scholarship routes.

05

How to apply, step by step

The actual route for each programme — uni-assist, direct portal, or TUMonline — with what gets submitted where, in order.

06

Full student visa process

The complete non-EU national visa (Type D) sequence: documents, blocked account, appointment lead times, fees, and post-arrival residence permit.

Built from official sources — university programme pages, uni-assist, DAAD and the German Federal Foreign Office — not scraped aggregator listings. Every record is source-checked before release, and structured per field so you can filter it to a single student's profile rather than reading it like a brochure.

  • English: IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 88.
  • Selection: TUM aptitude assessment (Eignungsfeststellungsverfahren) — multi-stage and genuinely competitive.

Deadline & how to apply

15 July 2026 Winter semester 2026/27 · international applicants should start ~10 weeks earlier for uni-assist processing
  • Step 1 — Submit certificates to uni-assist for recognition of the foreign qualification (allow 4–6 weeks; this is the step students under-estimate).
  • Step 2 — Create a TUMonline account and complete the online application for the programme.
  • Step 3 — Upload English proficiency evidence and the uni-assist preliminary review documentation (VPD).
  • Step 4 — Sit the TUM aptitude assessment if shortlisted after the document stage.
  • Step 5 — Receive the admission decision (Zulassungsbescheid) — required before any visa step can begin.

Student visa process — non-EU applicant

  1. 1 Admission letter (Zulassungsbescheid) 4–8 weeks after deadline

    Nothing in the visa chain can start without it. Conditional offers are not accepted for the visa file.

  2. 2 Open a blocked account (Sperrkonto) 1–2 weeks

    Proof of financial resources for one year — EUR 11,904 at the 2025/26 rate (EUR 992/month). The figure is revised annually. A parental guarantee (Verpflichtungserklärung) is the main alternative.

  3. 3 Arrange German health insurance 3–7 days

    Public insurer confirmation (TK, AOK or similar) for enrolled students; a travel policy covering the arrival gap is usually also requested.

  4. 4 Book the visa appointment 2–12 weeks wait

    The real bottleneck. Appointment availability at the German mission varies sharply by country and season — book the moment admission lands, not once documents are complete.

  5. 5 Submit the national visa (Type D) application Appointment day

    Passport, admission letter, blocked-account confirmation, insurance, academic transcripts, CV, motivation letter, biometric photos. Fee EUR 75.

  6. 6 Visa processing 6–12 weeks

    Runs via the local Ausländerbehörde of the university city. Build this into the application timeline — it is why a July deadline becomes a tight October start.

  7. 7 Arrive and register (Anmeldung) Within 2 weeks of arrival

    City registration at the Bürgeramt, which requires a signed accommodation confirmation from the landlord.

  8. 8 Convert to a residence permit Before the visa expires

    Apply at the Ausländerbehörde for the student residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis), typically issued for two years and renewable.
