Study in Germany - Public Universities
Admissions in Public Universities in Germany
Land a tuition-free seat at Germany's leading public universities with structured, deadline-driven support. From APS readiness to blocked account guidance, Career Wise covers every step for Indian students targeting Winter or Summer intakes.
Why Germany's Public Universities
Understand what makes public institutions the preferred route for value, research depth, and post-study outcomes compared to private schools.
Tuition-Free Education
Most public universities charge only a small semester contribution (EUR 150-350); no annual tuition fees for international students.
Public vs Private
Public universities are state-funded, research-heavy, and affordable. Private schools charge EUR 7,000-15,000 per year but may offer niche programs and flexible entry.
Blocked Account & Proof of Funds
Show financial readiness with a blocked account (~EUR 11,904 per year) or sponsorship; we guide you on the right bank/provider and documentation.
Courses You Can Target
Strong STEM and management options are available in both English and German. We align your academics to the right faculties and intake.
Eligibility Snapshot
We validate each criterion early to avoid Uni-Assist rejections and last-minute document gaps.
APS certificate
Mandatory for Indian students; backlogs evaluated case by case.
Academic strength
Target GPA of 2.7 German equivalent or better; competitive programs expect stronger profiles.
Language proof
IELTS 6.0-6.5 or TOEFL iBT 80-90 for English-taught; German B1/B2 for German-taught or mixed programs.
Program fit
Relevant undergraduate degree and prerequisite subjects; GRE/GATE checked during shortlisting where needed.
Intake Timelines
We plan backwards from deadlines with buffers for APS, notarizations, and Uni-Assist processing.
Winter Intake (Sep/Oct)
Applications usually open Nov-Jan; Uni-Assist verification can take 6-8 weeks - start documents early to secure MS in Germany for Indian students.
Summer Intake (Mar/Apr)
Applications typically run May-Nov of the previous year; fewer seats, faster responses - ideal for free education in Germany with shorter wait.
