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.
A German Blocked Account (Sperrkonto) is required to demonstrate financial stability. You must deposit €11,904 (around ₹10.8 lakhs) and can withdraw only €992 per month (approx. ₹90,000) after arriving in Germany to cover living expenses. It is mandatory for a student visa.
German universities have two main intakes: Winter (October–March) and Summer (April–September). Winter is the primary intake, offering more courses and higher chances of admission. Summer intake is less common, but available for all upGrad programs.
Yes, knowing basic German helps a lot when applying for part-time jobs in Germany. While some roles in Technology, International Business or other English-speaking environments may not require it, most service jobs prefer at least A2–B1 level German to interact with natives. German language training is available for all upGrad students before they transfer on-campus.
No, upGrad students do not need to pursue a Studienkolleg. upGrad offers flexible undergraduate programs that waive off this requirement, allowing eligible students to skip the one-year foundation course and start the Year 1 of their degree program in with upGrad and later transfer on-campus to Germany in Year II.
