FAQs

Studying in Europe — FAQs

Is it true that I don't need to pay tuition in Germany?+

For most public universities, yes. You only pay a "Semester Contribution" which covers administrative costs and a public transport pass. However, the state of Baden-Württemberg and some specialized Master’s programs do charge tuition.

What exactly is the APS Certificate?+

The Academic Evaluation Centre (APS) verifies your Nepali academic records to ensure they meet German standards. It is a mandatory requirement for the 2026 intake and involves a document check and sometimes a short technical interview.

Can I travel to France or Italy with my German student visa?+

Yes. As a student in a Schengen country, you have the right to travel freely within the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period for tourism.

When is the best time to apply for the 2026/27 intake?+

For Germany, the Winter Semester (October) deadline is usually July 15, and for the Netherlands, it is often April 1. We recommend starting the APS and English testing 10 months in advance.
