Screen your credentials and check your eligibility to apply

No, the result is intended to serve as a guide only. The higher education institution makes the final decision regarding your admission.
In Germany, there is no central authority that evaluates foreign school qualifications. Instead, assessment guidelines issued by the Standing Conference of the Education Ministers (Kultusministerkonferenz) are used. These guidelines are published in the anabin database of the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB).
Study Guide uses these guidelines to assess your eligibility. Most German higher education institutions, as well as uni-assist – a service provider that reviews applications – also use them to evaluate applications.

No. The eligibility check applies only to Bachelor’s programmes. If you want to apply for a Master’s programme, you should check directly with the higher education institution whether you meet the admission requirements.

Most higher education institutions in Germany rely on the same information that Study Guide uses to assess eligibility. However, some institutions may apply different criteria or conduct their own admission assessment. You should, therefore, always check the admission requirements directly with the higher education institution.

This depends on your country of origin. You may be asked for details such as your diploma, grades, type of secondary school, or other information needed to assess your eligibility. You can exit the assessment at any time, restart it, or change your answers if you don’t have a document available.

It depends on your country of origin. In most cases, the check takes only a few minutes, and you’ll receive your result after answering three or four questions. You can exit the check at any time and restart later.

If the check indicates that your current qualifications do not allow you to apply for a degree programme in Germany, it means that they do not meet the current admission requirements. Unfortunately, we cannot provide specific advice on which additional qualifications might change this result. If your qualifications change in the future, you can take the check again at any time.
