Guidance reviewed 26 October 2026. Confirm current requirements before applying.
BEFORE YOU APPLY
Find the programme. Understand the pathway.
A good study plan combines academic fit, affordability and a clear understanding of the requirements. Use these questions to prepare for your discussion.
Check the application route
Applications may go directly to the university or through uni-assist. Check whether a preparatory course or additional verification such as APS applies to your background.
Confirm language requirements
English-taught and German-taught courses have different evidence requirements. There is no single language score that applies to every German university or programme.
Read the actual fee schedule
Tuition varies by institution, programme and region. Public university study is not universally free. Include semester contributions, health coverage and living expenses in your budget.
Plan residence and funding evidence
Use official German guidance for study visa or residence requirements and accepted proof of funding. Required amounts and document processes can change; check them before applying.
Prepare for everyday life
Plan housing early and check transport, insurance and enrolment tasks. Ask which arrival guidance is available. Study does not guarantee future employment or residence permission.
A CONVERSATION ABOUT YOUR GOALS
Come with questions.
Leave with next steps.
What should I prepare for my assessment?
Have your highest qualification, preferred course, budget and intended intake in mind. We can discuss your Germany options without collecting identity or financial documents at this stage.
Can I choose a university that TAPEX does not partner with?
Yes, your university choice remains yours. Ask us about your preferred institution, including a non-partner university. We will explain whether support is feasible and agree the scope and any charges before proceeding.
Is all study-abroad support free?
The initial profile assessment is free. Ask for written confirmation of the scope and any fees for further services. University, lender, government and third-party charges are separate.
Can you guarantee admission, a scholarship or a visa?
No. Universities decide admission, awarding bodies decide scholarships, lenders decide loans, and immigration authorities decide visas. We help you understand and prepare for these processes.
