In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.
Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process.

Types of universities in Germany
Higher education in Germany is offered at three types of higher education institutions:
Research and practice-oriented higher education institutions (Universität and Fachhochschule) offer bachelor's or master's degrees at the end of higher education. Universities offer more theoretical and research-oriented education, while Fachhochschule offer a practice-based education program. For this reason, Fachhochschulen are becoming an important option in practical fields such as engineering and design
In Germany, there are also Schools of Education Science (Pädagogische Hochschule) and Theological Schools (Theologische Hochschuleler).
Duration of university in Germany
Bachelor's degree
Bachelor's degree training programs lay the academic foundations, provide methodological skills and lead to the attainment of professional qualifications. The Bachelor's degree is awarded after 3 to 4 years. The Bachelor's degree program includes a thesis requirement.
In fields such as medicine and law, the duration of study ranges from 3.5 to 12 years.
Master's degree
The master's degree is the second degree obtained after 1.5 or 2 years. Master's degree programs can be differentiated into "practice-oriented" and "research-oriented" profile types. Higher education institutions determine the profile. The master's program usually includes a thesis requirement.
Doctorate - PhD
You can choose between different study paths for your PhD in Germany. Depending on your discipline, research topic, personal circumstances and requirements, there are two different pathways:
Individual doctorate: An individual doctorate is based on independent research carried out alone under the supervision of a professor. The majority of doctoral students in Germany choose this as the traditional method.
Structured PhD program: These programs offer a similar approach to PhD programs in English-speaking countries. You are supervised by an independent team and attend lectures and seminars with other PhD students. Usually, such programs are publicly advertised and include grant or paid PhD positions.
It usually takes five to six years to obtain a PhD, but this can vary.
University Grading System in Germany
The German university grading system typically follows a numerical scale from 1.0 (best) to 5.0 (fail). The passing grade is 4.0 or better, with the following meanings:
| German Grade | Verbal Equivalent (in German) | Approx. Percentage | Meaning (English) |
| 1.0 – 1.5 | Sehr Gut | 90 – 100% | Very Good |
| 1.6 – 2.5 | Gut | 75 – 89% | Good |
| 2.6 – 3.5 | Befriedigend | 60 – 74% | Satisfactory |
| 3.6 – 4.0 | Ausreichend | 50 – 59% | Sufficient (Pass) |
| 5.0 | Nicht Ausreichend | 0 – 49% | Fail |
The verbal indication of grades may differ in some cases and for doctoral degrees. In addition, institutions partly use the ECTS grading scale (A–F).
University Tuition Fees in Germany
State universities
While tuition fees are waived for many programs at state universities, you may be required to pay fees for some programs.
There are generally no fees for undergraduate and postgraduate programs at state universities; only a semester contribution of approximately €100 - €450, known as the semester fee or semester fee, has to be paid. This semester fee covers the cost of the public transportation card (one semester ticket for free use) and the student ID card.
While tuition fees are waived for many programs at state universities, you may have to pay fees for some programs. For example, for joint degree programs with universities in another country or for part-time master's programs for career-oriented professionals. These fees range from €5,500 to €25,000.
Additionally, some public universities in Germany charge tuition fees specifically for non-EU international students. These semester fees typically range between €2,000 and €3,000, but they can be lower or higher depending on the institution and program. In many cases, international students may apply for tuition waivers or scholarships to cover these costs.
Semester fees also apply for doctoral studies and all public universities in Germany do not charge tuition fees for at least the first 6 semesters.
Private universities
Private universities operate independently and are funded by tuition fees. As such, they are generally more expensive than public universities; you should budget between €10,000 and €20,000 per year for undergraduate and master's programs.
Scholarships for higher education in Germany
International students in Germany can apply for and benefit from different scholarships, including government and privately funded scholarships, private scholarships offered by German universities, state-specific scholarships and various MBA scholarships for international students.

Your bachelor's degree will need to be equivalent to a German bachelor's degree of 3, 3.5 or 4 years. Some degree programs have minimum grades and quota restrictions.
PhD Admission Requirements in Germany
The regulations and requirements for doctoral studies are set by the relevant university departments. In Germany, you need to select a potential supervisor and apply directly to the professor in question.
Once you have found a professor in Germany as your supervisor, the responsible department or doctoral committee at your university must approve your eligibility as a PhD candidate. At some universities, candidates have to apply for admission to the doctoral examination at this stage.
For your application to be successful, your planned doctoral thesis must be in line with the main emphases of the program and you must have a good or very good degree recognized in Germany.
Application periods for universities in Germany
In most higher education institutions, winter semester study starts in September/October and summer semester study starts in March/April.
If the program you are applying for starts in the winter semester, the application deadline is usually July 15; if the program starts in the summer semester, the application deadline is usually January 15. However, each university or undergraduate program can accept applications within the application deadlines they set, for example, April 1-30 or May 15-July 15
In addition, some universities allow applications throughout the year.
Restrictions
Numerus Clausus (limited number): At universities, the demand for some departments exceeds the number of students those departments can accept. For this reason, quota restrictions, known as NC (Numerus Clausus), are applied.
örtliches NC (local NC): Some universities may restrict the number of applicants for some of their programs; this is called a örtliches NC
bundesweites NC (nationwide NC): Some university courses (e.g. medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine and dentistry) are subject to admission restrictions at all universities in Germany because they are very popular.
Mindestnote (minimum grade): A minimum grade is required for some bachelor's and master's programs. In addition to the GPA, universities may set other criteria that play a role in the selection process, such as tests, selection interviews or motivation letters. The criteria vary depending on the university and degree program.
Conditional acceptance at German universities
Conditional admission is a preparatory program for prospective international students who have the university entrance qualification (not all admission requirements have been met) but have not yet reached the German C1 language proficiency level. Enrolling in this preparatory program allows you to stay in Germany with a student residence permit.
The purpose of conditional admission is to enable prospective students to reach German C1 level in order to apply for the degree program. This period is a maximum of 4 semesters.
Please note that expired admissions and language course registrations will not be accepted and may lead to rejection of your application.
