There is an association of language schools that discussed with the visa department of the German Foreign Ministry how to increase the share of approved visas for students.

We cooperate with schools from this association. As a result of the meeting, the process and format of invitations are changing.

Important: The new rules only apply to schools that are members of the association. For the rest of the language schools, the procedure remains the same.

What's new:

The Consent to Contact form will now be added to the application documents. It allows the German Foreign Ministry to verify the authenticity of intentions directly. This helps speed up the process and make requests to the school more efficient.

What this means for you: the approval rate for language visas will increase, and the processing time will be reduced;, The main thing is to choose the school correctly.

Visa support from us is free.

On October 11, we will be at the international educational exhibition Begin Edu Fair in Almaty with our stand.

The exhibition will be held from 12:00 to 16:00 at the Rixos Almaty Hotel, Seifullin Street, 506/99.

At our stand, you will be able to receive advice on admission to German universities and specialist colleges, find out which programs are right for you, and understand the process of submitting documents, visa, and blocked bank account.

The meeting is not mandatory — just come and ask, we’ll be happy to see you!

At our stand, you will be able to receive advice on admission to German universities and specialist colleges, find out which programs are right for you, and understand the process of submitting documents, visa, and blocked bank account.

A few tips that will really help in the first weeks.

▶️Go to the O-Week, the orientation week for first-year students. They explain where everything is, introduce you to the system, and answer basic questions. 

▶️Read your Prüfungsordnung. This is a document that sets out all the rules for your program: subjects, deadlines, and retakes. Many people find out about important details too late.

▶️Studying in English? Don't miss the German course registration deadline; spots are filling up fast, and life and post-graduation will be significantly harder without German.

▶️Find out where the library is and how to use it.

▶️Find out what licenses the university provides. Microsoft Office, Adobe, and much more are often available for free or at a significant discount. Take advantage of discounts outside the university. Student status gives you discounts in museums, cinemas, and many stores (UNiDAYS, Student Beans).

▶️Meet the Fachschaft. This is your faculty's student council. They often have old exams, advice on professors, and a lively community.

🟢UniApply Germany

Starting in September 2026, French universities will be required to charge non-EU students €2,895 per year for bachelor's programs and €3,941 for master's programs. Prior to this, most universities charged a symbolic €178 and €254—voluntarily, based on the principle of equal access to education. Now, universities have no choice.

Exceptions are allowed, but they are limited: no more than 10% students may be exempt from tuition fees.

Among parents and students, the firm belief persists that graduating from Munich's Studienkolleg will give one an advantage when applying to TUM.

That is not true.

There are no bonuses for Studienkolleg graduates. If you finish school with a grade of ~2.0 and Studienkolleg with ~3.5, you won't get into TUM (these are approximate figures, as the weighted average is what matters). If you meet someone who claims otherwise, tell them we're waiting for them to debate. And if you're the one spreading this information, you're welcome too 🤗

We are not discouraging students from Munich. But we are for every student to understand the real processes and make decisions in their own interests, rather than based on myths.

The results of the evaluation of universities in the framework of the Exzellenzstrategie - a key support program for Germany's top universities.

The good news is that the 10 universities re-evaluated have been positively rated and will continue to be funded for another 7 years from 2027.

Universities that retain the status of Exzellenzuniversität:
- RWTH Aachen
- Universität Bonn
- Berlin University Alliance (FU, HU and TU Berlin)
- TU Dresden
- Universität Hamburg
- Universität Heidelberg
- KIT Karlsruhe
- LMU München
- TU München
- Universität Tübingen

A university that has dropped out of the program:
- Universität Konstanz - did not reach the required amount clusters.

Coming from UniApply Germany

The short answer is: most of the time no. In most public universities in Germany, the SAT is not a compulsory exam. But there are some programs where it is required:

• Mechanical Engineering at Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT)
• Data Science at KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt
• Computer Science at Universität des Saarlandes
• Data Science and AI at Universität Bayreuth

An alternative to the SAT is the TestAS. This is a standardized test for international students that is often accepted by German universities as an indicator of academic readiness.

Enrollment support

UniApply Germany helps to understand the requirements, select programs and prepare documents taking into account all nuances.
