There are several types of universities in Germany: Hochschule (Institute), Fachhochschule (the highest special school where applied science is taught) and Universität (university).
As for now, German universities are following international standards. After the completion of the program, Master or Bachelor degrees are issued.
List of documents required for the admission to the German university:
- The international passport;
- student visa;
- health insurance policy;
- school certificate;
- Diploma of completed higher education or academic certificate (if education is not completed);
- Diploma Supplement;
- Certificate of passing a special exam in German for study at a German university (DSH, TestDaF or other exam recognized by a German university).
Please note that German universities accept only certified copies of the documents. Copies can be assured from a German notary, German authorities of local self-government or the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany. The processing of documents is handled by a special organization called UniAssist. The organization performs most of the bureaucratic type of work instead of universities
