-Learning German parallelly
If anyone here is also planning for Germany 2026, let’s connect!
We can share our progress, tips, experiences, and maybe even make a small group of friends.
Hi @LikhithReddyPeketi ,
Hey, that’s awesome! 11 days is really fast! I’m already in Germany (arrived in September 2025), so if you need any help with university selection, visa, or preparation tips, feel free to ask. It’s great that you’re learning German early - that really helps once you’re here. Let’s definitely stay connected and share updates!
Hii there, I have a doubt regarding the APS evaluation, do i require an affidavit because my name order is different in my marksheet. Since you have completed your APS can you help me out here.
Hi @Dhruv_Zala ,
Only for the order change in name doesn’t require the affidavit. If you have spelling mistakes in name then it is needed. But safer you can attached self declaration letter but not required. I hope it helps.
Thank you for the clarification
Hiii guys
I’m also planning for winter intake 2026.
I haven’t yet applied for APS , I will apply it in 3rd week of jan, is it okay or its too late?
Hello @abhishek-mathpati ,
It’s not late. you can apply for the APS. But keep other things ready like ILTES Score, university selection , LOR, SOP. so you can apply on time. Most early application for some uni are march and some start opening applications from march. so be quick. I hope this will help.
Guys i heard that our CV need to be in Europa - Europass CV, is it so ?
Thank you @Gayatree_B
Yes.. some university specifically mention if they want in other than europass format. For the safer side upload in Europass format
Which healthcare-related master’s in Germany is best for Healthcare professionals in non clinical sector for future job opportunities, if possible, could someone help me with this, I’m going to apply for the winter intake of 2026
For non-clinical healthcare careers in Germany, the best master’s options are Public Health, Health Economics, or Healthcare Management. Public Health (e.g., at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) offers broad opportunities in policy, research, and public health organizations. Health Economics (Universität Hamburg) is strong for consulting and insurance roles, while Healthcare Management (University of Hohenheim) is ideal for hospital and administrative leadership. Public Health is the most versatile overall, especially if you learn German (B2+). But keep in mind in Healthcare, there is people interaction and data interaction with german language. so need good command of german over there.
Hi Guys, I am a final year architecture student and looking forward for the upcoming winter intake 2026, can anyone help me in suggesting public universities for masters in the field of architecture (sustainability, urban planning, etc.) and can you also tell me the job market demand for these fields in Germany, also can you help me connect with someone who is currently pursuing masters in any of these course from a public university. Thank You
Hii,
I have confusion on APS application update.
I have completed a 5-year Integrated Master of Business Administration (International Business) programme after 12th standard from University. As part of this integrated course, I was awarded a Bachelor of Business Administration (International Business) degree after 3 years (2016–2019) and a Master of Business Administration (International Business) degree after completing the full 5 years (2016–2021).
I have two consolidated mark memos: one for the BBA (3 years), which mentions First Class, and one final consolidated memo for the MBA (5 years), which shows a CGPA grade.
While filling out the APS application form, I am facing confusion because the system requires separate entries for Bachelor and Master qualifications. I would like to kindly request clarification on whether I should:
Enter both BBA (3 years) and MBA (2 years) separately.
Enter the full 5-year Integrated MBA under the Master section or Bachelor section.
I want to ensure that my academic details are entered correctly and that there is no mismatch between the application form and the uploaded documents.
I would be grateful for your guidance on this matter.
Hello,
If you have separate Marks sheets for both degree. I would suggest to fill it both separately. They specifically look for degrees and mark sheets. I hope this helps.
Hello @Abhishek_Kapoor ,
For Winter 2026, good public universities in Germany for Masters in sustainability or urban planning in architecture include HafenCity University Hamburg (REAP – sustainability), Technische Universität Berlin (urban design & ecological planning), Technische Universität München (sustainable architecture), and FH Potsdam (Architecture & Urban Design). Job demand in Germany is good in sustainable design, urban planning, and green construction due to climate goals and housing development, with good long-term career scope. To connect with current students, the easiest way is via LinkedIn by searching program names like REAP or Urban Planning at these universities.
I am applying for this winter sem as well. just now applied for APS and i have doubt reg the documents. Do I need to do any kind of attestation before, send it to through courier?
Hello,
Not required, just follow what they have asked on official website. Try to send through speed post so you will get APS early.
Same here, completed 12th now learning german lang & waiting for the result outcome for APS application. I will be needing help guys, kindly support
Hello @AlfazRehman ,
You can post your question here directly, I can help you with any query related to germany and admission.
Guys my friend has applied for APS on 20th Jan but didnt receive APS yet. Can anyone help?
Hello @abhishek-mathpati ,
Check with your professor/university if they received the confirmation mail.
Check your email to see if APS asked for more details.
If everything is fine, email APS with your application number to follow up. I hope this will help
