Application Prerequisites

Language proficiency

You will have to show that you have acquired sufficient proficiency in German (or English for courses taught in English) to allow you to embark successfully on a course of study in Germany. 

University Admission Eligibility

You will have to show proof of your university admission eligibility (e.g. school-leaving certificate qualifying you to study at German universities) when you apply for a course of study in Germany. Please consult the Information System for Foreign Educational Qualifications to find out whether your certificates make you eligible for direct entry to universities in Germany. Some applicants are required to attend an Academic Qualifying Course (Studienkolleg) before they can embark on a course of study in Germany. To find out whether you must first successfully attend the Academic Qualifying Course, please consult the Information System for Foreign Educational Qualifications and check your certificates. Should you have to attend, the application deadline closes earlier (see "application deadlines"). You apply for an Academic Qualifying Course via uni-assist (all courses of study). You will automatically be allocated to an Academic Qualifying Course (Studienkolleg) should you have to attend one.

Important information for applicants from the People's Republic of China, Mongolia, and Vietnam (you need the APS-certificate).

Justus Liebig University automatically forwards the data of admitted applicants from India to APS India on a regular basis. We kindly ask you to refrain from individual requests as we have no influence on the order of processing. The APS must already be submitted by you to uni-assist as part of your application.

Applicants for human medicine or dentistry who are no German or EU citizens and who do not hold a German or EU university admission eligibility certificate and who therefore have to apply via uni-assist (see "application") can add further documents to their minimum application documents in order to improve the ranking of their application. Further information on the selection procedure and the restricted admission figures ("NC", numerus clausus) of the last semesters can be found here.
