Further Information for Students of Other Programmes

Visum:

Please note, that a valid visa or residency permit is required to study abroad in Germany.  If you will require a visa, you can request (in the online-application) a prioritized review of your online-application, so that you will receive your acceptance decision in time to apply for a visa.  More information can be found here:

► Guide: Visa formalities necessary for studies in Germany

Health Insurance and Liability Insurance:

You will require a valid German insurance.  We recommend that you obtain this before the semester begins, to ensure that you have adequate coverage.

Representatives from the German public insurance providers (AOK, TK, DAK) will be present during enrollment to advise you.  You can also register for insurance at this time.

Proof of valid insurance is often required by the German embassy when applying for a visa.  In this case, please contact a German insurance provider in advance.
