You cannot enter a German university after the 11th grade, because schooling there lasts longer than 11 years. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference. To do this, foreign students go through a preparatory year in special educational institutions — Studienkollegs. Students are accepted to bachelor's programs at FAU based on the results of entrance exams.
FAU campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in Erlangen. This opens up all the delights of life in a big city for students: a rich infrastructure, a large selection of entertainment, convenient transport, as well as more opportunities for internships or part-time jobs. However, for some students, such an abundance of opportunities can be distracting. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. Foreigners who come to FAU through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
To stay in Germany after graduation for another 18 months, you need to apply for a graduate visa, which allows you to work without an offer from an employer. Look for more immigration options in our article.
