HOW TO APPLY

Once a University with the preferred course has been

found through searching the internet an application
can be done. German Universities receive both paper
based and online applications, although Universities
most times prefer online applications as it is a much
easier way to apply and receive documents. The
online application includes opening an account on
the website of the University and filling the forms
and submitting. Paper applications involve making
photocopies and notarize all documents and send
them along with the downloaded application forms
to the admission office.

PROCESSING VISA

One important aspect in schooling abroad is the

student visa. The school will provide an invitation
letter after applying which will be needed when applying for a student visa. The applicant will go to the
embassy in their home country with documents such as results, health insurance, passport photographs,
International passport and others. When this is done the applicant will be told when to come for an
interview.

It is important to note that applicants will have to open a German block account of 7000 Euros before the
visa can be obtained. Applicants should not be bothered as the embassy will guide them on the procedure
in doing it.
