REQUIREMENTS AND ADMISSION
Each German university is responsible for determining its own admission policies. That’s why you should ask the International Office at the German university of your choice whether you fulfill all the requirements for admission and how much of your previous academic work will be recognised. You will find a list of universities and courses in our database.
The first thing to do is to find out whether your university entrance qualification is recognised in Germany. The DAAD admission database can help you with this. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact one of the DAAD offices all around the world.

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS AND LANGUAGE COURSES
If you want to study in English, universities generally require an official English test such as IELTS or TOEFL. Exemptions are made for native speakers. For a listing of programmes in which English is the language of instruction, check out the DAAD database of International Programmes.
JOB AND INTERNSHIP
You can find jobs for English speakers on the job database of the Federal Employment agency which includes a search field for key words, e.g. “English”. There is also a section called “Small jobs/ mini jobs” which includes student jobs. Please note that most job descriptions are in German because they require German skills.
FINDING ACCOMMODATION
The Accommodation Finder on our website is a helpful tool for obtaining information about various student residences in your university town.
HUMAN MEDICINE, DENTISTRY AND VETINARY MEDICINE
Like all special areas of medicine, Internal Medicine is not offered as a course of study at German universities. Candidates must complete a period of medical specialisation training. To be eligible for admission, you will need very good German skills and usually a degree similar to the German State Examination (six years of university study). For more information about working as a doctor in Germany, visit the website of theGerman Medical Association.
