What are the different requirements that universities in Germany have?
There are different requirements each university has. Even though most of them are similar we suggest you check to make sure everything is right by contacting the international office of the university you want to apply to. One of the most important documents to be admitted to an undergraduate program is to have a Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (HZB) (higher education entrance qualification) or equivalent. If the university you are applying for is one of the highest ranked in Munich and very competitive then they may have to arrange an interview with you to discuss your application, usually through a video conference such as Skype.
How can you finance yourself in Munich?
Considering the financial situation as an international student, even though Munich seems a bit expensive, it is not impossible to study there. Fortunately, there are many job opportunities for you as a student to be able to deal with your financial means!
What should you do after checking the requirements of your university of choice?
After checking the requirements of the university you want to apply to in order to be able to finish your Degree in Munich, we suggest you start learning German as soon as possible even if it is not necessary to be able to communicate when studying there. Keep in mind that choosing the right course, the right university, checking the requirements, learning the German language mean nothing if you don’t prepare financially before applying. Having the correct amount of money (around 10k) in a Blocked Account is one of the most important steps in order to be able to finish a Degree in Munich.

Getting rejected by the university you applied for can make you feel stressed and alone, but keep in mind that rejection is something everyone experiences. You are not alone! Plenty of students get rejected and it’s okay to feel upset but make sure that does not slow you down or ruin your confidence. There lie many opportunities ahead.
Should you apply earlier the next time?
If you get rejected then the next time you apply, try to apply as early as possible. There is data that shows the ones who take early action have a higher chance on getting accepted. Keep in mind that just because you apply earlier next time doesn’t mean you will be accepted, make sure to improve on other things as well before you apply.
