Everything you need to know about studying in Germany
International students in Germany can legally work up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions. The average part-time wage is around €12 per hour (INR 1,080). This limit ensures studies remain the priority while allowing some income.
Yes, Indian students need a German National Visa (Type D) to study in Germany. You will need to submit a completed visa form, passport-size photos, a valid passport, admission letter, proof of a blocked account of €11,904 (around INR 10.7 lakh), health insurance, and academic records.
Yes, the APS certificate is now mandatory for all Indian students applying for a student visa to Germany. It verifies and validates academic documents and must be obtained before scheduling a visa appointment at the German Embassy. No student visa application is accepted without it.
Public universities in Germany are more research-focused with strict entry criteria—minimum 75-80% in Bachelor's, 2–3 years of work experience for technical or management programs, and GRE/GMAT scores. The programs are longer (2–3 years), and career support is minimal. Students also face higher living costs due to extended course duration and large class sizes (1:250).
Private universities, on the other hand, offer more flexibility - flexible GPA requirements, no GRE/GMAT, and higher backlog tolerance. Courses are shorter (1–2 years), career support is extensive (94%+ placements), and the student-faculty ratio is much better (1:30), saving students both time and living expenses.
