Your questions, answered.
Is tuition free in Germany?
Most public universities charge no tuition for international students in most federal states, though semester contributions apply and some states (such as Baden-Württemberg) charge non-EU students. Always check the specific university.
Do I need German?
German-taught programs require recognised German proficiency; a growing number of English-taught programs exist, especially at master’s level. Early German exposure helps either way.
What is the APS certificate?
Indian applicants to German universities typically need an APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) certificate verifying their documents. Check the DAAD and the German embassy for current rules.
Do Indian students need a foundation course?
Depending on your qualification and subject, you may need a foundation course (Studienkolleg) or recognised entrance results. The DAAD admission database explains the rules for your profile.
