Anyone planning to start in 2027 should begin preparing now, because several steps take months.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Language first<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most German-taught degrees require a recognised certificate such as TestDaF or DSH. English-taught master's programmes usually ask for IELTS or TOEFL. Language courses often fill up early, so it pays to book exam dates well in advance.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documents and financing<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certified translations of school and university records, a recognition check of the previous degree and proof of financing for the visa are standard. The blocked account and health insurance must be arranged before the visa appointment.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check each university's deadline<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Application periods differ by university and programme.
