Requirements to Study in Germany for Nigerian Students 2023

Germany is one of the best study destinations for Nigerian students studying abroad.

The Schengen country of Germany offers free education for Nigerian undergraduate and postgraduate students.

German universities have a high ranking globally for offering quality education and research in Science, Arts, Technology and Medicine.

Studying in Germany is a dream come true because of the study environment and quality of education.

But there are requirements you must meet as a Nigerian student applying to study in Germany. These conditions include German language, academic, visa requirements, etc.

Without meeting these conditions, you would not be able to secure admission to any of the universities in German.

This post is about the requirements to study in Germany for Nigerian students.

Let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further assistance. I would love to hear from you.

Studying in Germany as a Nigeria Student

Foreign students at the University

There is a large community of Nigerians studying in Germany. The country offers a beautiful experience for students in terms of architecture, education, culture and lifestyle.

One of the advantages of studying in Germany is the free tuition fees for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

It means you do not need to break the bank to study in German schools.

You only get to pay certain charges per semester, accommodation and feeding expenses.

Another advantage of studying in Germany is the permission to work as a student earning over a thousand Euros (€1,000).

The money you earn as a student would be sufficient to cater for your academic and personal needs.

A common concern for Nigerian students is learning the German language.

Well, it is not compulsory to learn the German language if you are studying a course taught in English. Otherwise, you will take foundation courses to speak and write the German language.

Ensure you learn German using online platforms like Duolingo and YouTube before departing Nigeria.

The following are the category of courses offered at Universities in Germany;

  • Bachelor’s Degree (BSc)
  • Masters’ Degree (MSc)
  • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

  2. Open Block Account
  3. Secondary School Transcript
  4. Student Visa Type D
  5. Birth Certificate
  6. Passport Photograph
  7. Valid International Passport

Apply to Study in Germany

The first step to gaining admission to study abroad is applying to a university in the country.

To do this, you must research the university you want to attend. Your field of study is also a criterion to determine the school you apply to for admission.

There are over three hundred and twenty (320) universities in Germany. It is advisable to narrow your choice to universities that offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs in English.

The admission date and requirements are available on the school websites. Ensure you take your time to go through the university website to get the necessary information.

Application to study in Germany is through the following processes;

  • Online Application
  • Post Mail Letter
  • Submission of Application through Email

Open Block Account

A block account is an account for students with limited withdrawal ability required to apply for a visa in Germany.

The block account is where you would deposit the stipulated sum of money sufficient to take care of your academic and personal expenses during your first year in Germany.

The estimated monthly expenses for a Nigerian student in Germany are €800. Multiplying €800 by twelve (12) months in a year will give €9,600.

It means you need to open a block account in Germany immediately after you get your admission letter. You only have access to withdraw €800 every month.

The following are the banks in Germany to open a block account as a Nigerian student;

  • Deutsch bank
  • Fintiba
  • Xpatrio

Secondary School Transcript

A secondary school transcript is a requirement to get admission to German universities.

The secondary school is not your WAEC or NECO result. It is a compilation of your results in secondary school.

You would need to go to your secondary school to request your secondary school transcript.

Student Visa Type D

German student is the document that gives you access to travel from Nigeria to Germany to study.

The interview for the student visa takes place at the German Consulate General in Lagos. For Visa, the application fee is €75.

You need to open a block account before attending the interview.

The following are the documents you need for your visa application;

  • Two visa application forms
  • Valid passport
  • Birth certificate
  • Identical photos
  • Proof of financial means
  • Letter of admission from the university in Germany
  • Enrolment confirmation
  • 2 signed declarations forms
  • School Leaving Certificates of Primary and Secondary School / WAEC Certificate
  • Proof of previous academic studies/professional training/ work experience

English Language Proficiency Certificate

English language proficiency certificate is a requirement for some schools.

But most universities in Germany would not request a language proficiency certificate.

Check the university to know if you need an English proficiency certificate.

Undergraduate Study Requirements

  • WAEC result
  • Valid international passport
  • A birth certificate
  • Secondary Transcript
  • Medical fitness certificate

Postgraduate Study Requirements

  • First-degree result
  • Valid International passport
  • Birth certificate
  • Medical fitness certificate
  • Two reference letters
  • Research work and or a statement of purpose

Thanks for the enlightened information.
I have a challenge filling a form. Trying to apply for a masters program with university of Stuttgart.
So, I’m being asked for a higher education entrance qualification, the type, name of certificate, average grade (gpa) from 1 to 4, total score ….. out of 900 or 840, name of school e.t.c
Please what does the above stand for because I do not understand.
I would really appreciate your kind response.

Reply

The higher education entrance qualification refers to the certificate or degree you obtained that qualifies you for admission into a higher education program.

The type and name of the certificate would be the specific certificate or degree you hold, such as a Bachelor’s degree or a Master’s degree.

The average grade (GPA) from 1 to 4 would be your grade point average on a scale of 1 to 4, with four being the highest.

The total score out of 900 or 840 would likely refer to the total possible score on any standardized tests you may have taken (such as the GRE or TOEFL), but it’s best to double-check with the university to be sure.

The school name refers to the institution where you obtained your higher education entrance qualification.

If you’re unsure about any of these requirements, you can contact the admissions office at the University of Stuttgart for clarification.

Hello ThankGod,

If you are interested in applying for a bachelor’s degree program in Germany from Nigeria, here are some general steps you can take:

1. Research universities and degree programs: Find universities in Germany that offer your preferred degree program and research their requirements, course structure, and admission procedures.

2. Meet the general admission requirements: To be eligible for admission to a bachelor’s degree program in Germany, you must have completed secondary school education, have a recognized secondary school certificate such as WAEC, and meet the university’s specific admission requirements.

3. Learn German: Most undergraduate degree programs in Germany are taught in German, so you’ll need to have a good command of the language. You can take a German language course in Nigeria or Germany to improve your language skills.

4. Prepare your application documents: Typically, you must submit your academic transcripts, proof of language proficiency (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS), a CV, and a letter of motivation. Be sure to check the specific application requirements for the university and program you are interested in.

5. Apply online: Most universities in Germany have an online application portal where you can submit your application and supporting documents. Make sure you follow the application instructions carefully and submit your application before the deadline.

6. Apply for a student visa: If accepted into a degree program, you must apply for a student visa. Contact the German embassy or consulate in Nigeria for more information on the visa application process.

Overall, applying for a bachelor’s degree program in Germany from Nigeria can be a complex process, so starting early and seeking guidance from the university’s admission office or a reputable education agent is essential.

What is the Germany language

Reply

The official language of Germany is German, which is a West Germanic language and is spoken by the majority of the population. German is also one of the official languages of the European Union and is widely spoken as a second language in many countries around the world.

German has a complex grammar system with noun genders, four cases, and a wide range of verb conjugations. It uses the Latin alphabet with the addition of the umlaut (ä, ö, ü) and the Eszett (ß).

Several regional dialects and variations of German are spoken throughout the country, such as Bavarian, Low German, and Alemannic. These dialects can vary significantly in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar from standard German, but most Germans are also fluent in the standard form of the language.

Reply

Hello Toby,

Thanks for the feedback.

In Germany, several universities accept HND (Higher National Diploma) for master’s degree programs from Nigerian students. Some of these universities include:

1. University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (FHWS)
2. Technical University of Munich (TUM)
3. University of Applied Sciences Aachen (FH Aachen)
4. Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR Berlin)
5. University of Applied Sciences Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurt UAS)
6. University of Applied Sciences Worms (HS Worms)
7. Esslingen University of Applied Sciences (HS Esslingen)
8. University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern (HS Kaiserslautern)

It’s important to note that admission requirements and eligibility criteria vary from university to university and program to program. It’s advisable to check with the universities’ admission offices or websites to confirm their specific requirements for Nigerian students with an HND.

Hi ,I am Mary from Nigeria .I wanted to apply to a bunch of German universities that have their courses taught in english but the University Entrance Requirement(UEQ) is quite confusing. I have checked Anabin and uni-assist documentation on acceptable School leaving certificates since most of the universities redirected me there and what I understood from it was that I need a 1 year proof of University studies along with my Waec results for bachelor study. I just want to clarify if this mandatory for all german schools and if there are still out there that require this UEQ I can apply to. I have also checked out that their studienkollegs but most of the colleges that offer it require B2 level in German even if you plan to study a bachelor course taught in english in the future after the programme. With this ,I seem not to also qualify for studienkolleg as the time frame for me to study German is Impossible at this Stage. To sum it , I have stayed at home researching for more than two years and the window for admission for a bachelor degree would soon close for me. I really need a university with low tuition or non at all that I can go to in Europe. I look forward to your reply. Thanks

Hello Mary,

I understand your concern about German universities’ University Entrance Requirement (UEQ). It can be unclear, especially when you are applying from Nigeria.

To answer your question, not all German universities require proof of one year of university studies and your WAEC results. However, some universities have specific UEQ requirements you need to fulfil. Therefore, it is essential to carefully check the admission requirements of each university you are interested in applying to.

Regarding the Studienkollegs, it is true that most of them require a B2 level in German. However, there are some Studienkollegs that offer courses in English, so it is worth checking if any of them would be suitable for you.

In terms of tuition fees, most German universities do not charge tuition fees for undergraduate studies. Still, there may be other costs like semester fees, health insurance, and living expenses.

If you still have difficulty finding a suitable university, I recommend seeking advice from a study abroad agency or a student advisory service.

I hope this information helps you search for a suitable university in Europe. Good luck with your applications!

Reply

Some universities in Germany do not require a TOEFL or IELTS score if you can demonstrate proficiency in the German language at level A2 or higher. Here are a few examples:

1. University of Applied Sciences, Upper Austria: This university offers several master’s programs in English. Applicants who have completed a secondary education program in English or have a degree taught in English are exempt from providing a TOEFL or IELTS score. However, applicants must provide proof of German language proficiency at level A2.

2. University of Kassel: The University of Kassel offers some master’s programs in English, and applicants who have completed a bachelor’s or master’s program taught in English do not need to provide a TOEFL or IELTS score. However, applicants must provide proof of German language proficiency at level A2.

3. Technical University of Munich: The Technical University of Munich offers several master’s programs in English, and applicants who have completed a bachelor’s or master’s program taught in English are exempt from providing a TOEFL or IELTS score. However, applicants must provide proof of German language proficiency at level A2.

It’s important to note that the specific language requirements may vary depending on the program you are applying to, so make sure to check the requirements for each program before applying.

Additionally, even if a program does not require a TOEFL or IELTS score, it is still recommended to have a strong command of the English language in order to succeed in a program taught in English.

If you are interested in applying for a master’s degree program in Germany from Nigeria, here are some steps you can follow:

1. Choose a program:
Research the different universities and programs in Germany that interest you. You can search for programs on the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) website or on the websites of individual universities.

2. Check the requirements: Check the admission requirements for the program you are interested in. This will usually include a minimum grade point average (GPA) and proof of English proficiency (if the program is taught in English).

3. Prepare your application documents: You will need to prepare several documents for your application, including your academic transcripts, a CV, a statement of purpose, and letters of recommendation.

4. Apply online: Most universities in Germany accept online applications. You can usually apply through the university’s website or through the DAAD portal.

5. Pay the application fee: Some universities may require an application fee. Make sure to check the fee and payment options before submitting your application.

6. Wait for a response: After submitting your application, you will need to wait for a response from the university. This can take several weeks to several months.

7. Apply for a visa: If you are accepted into a master’s program in Germany, you will need to apply for a student visa. You can do this at the German embassy or consulate in Nigeria.

8. Plan your travel: Once you have received your visa, you can start making travel arrangements to Germany.

It’s important to note that the application process and requirements may vary depending on the university and program you are applying to, so make sure to check the specific requirements for each program.

Good day Mr Blessing an impactful time I’ve had reading on this page.
My relative applied to study data science at the university of applied science, Berlin. the campus fee, school fees and the blocked account was fully paid he also applied for an appointment date for a visa interview in August to resume in October and a confirmation email was sent but shortly after this
1. The amount meant to be paid into the blocked account increased. This is after we had already paid into the blocked account
2. October came and there was no appointment date or visa interview which made him defer his admission to Next year April 2023
3. Then he reapplied for the visa again and went to certify his documents: waec, blocked account, tuition fee, birth certificate, admission letter, application form, international passport, motivation letter and we are yet to hear from the embassy. Please I want to know how long does it take to get an appointment date and visa interview at the embassy and what would slow it down and is there any step we have not duly followed or requirements unfulfilled. Thank you

Hello Peter,

You’ll be needing Proof of Proficiency in English if you want to apply to Canada and for that, you can check out Alberta University via this https://www.ualberta.ca/business/programs/master-of-accounting/admissions/index.html

There are also other Canadian Universities you can check out including Brock University https://brocku.ca/programs/graduate/ and Queen’s University https://www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc/customsearch?category=QU&term=Msc+Accounting+#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=Msc%20Accounting%20&gsc.page=1

In Germany, you might not find a course in Accounting alone. You’ll find it in combination with Taxation and Auditing.

You can try UI University of applied sciences.

Your friend can’t just do a one-year programme and apply for permanent residence, it’ll more time than that.

To receive permanent residence in Germany, you need to have stayed in Germany for at least 5 years.

You can decide to go as a student for 2 years, after which you can get a working permit and within that time, apply for permanent residence.

Reply

Dear Samuel,

You should get your secondary school transcript though you can proceed without it.

NABTEB is not a globally recognised result so there’s no chance of acceptance with it.

You can do a university transfer instead of applying to start from the first year.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Dear Grace,

Studienkollege is only important if your educational background does not qualify you for direct entry into a course of study.

It’s like a preparatory course you take but it’s not compulsory.

If you have recognised academic certificates, you have nothing to worry about.

Hi, for someone who is hoping to get an invite from a permanent resident to Germany, can NECO results be used to gain admission? Which is better, to move to Germany first or secure admission?
Thanks for the information 😊

Yes, Hahn

You can study in Germany with your NECO result.

Concerning your second question, are you applying to study at the Postgraduate level?

It would be easier to get admission for postgraduate studies than move to Germany.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Hello
Please is German universities accept neco, and what are the requirements for bachelors degree

Yes, some German universities accept NECO results for admission into bachelor’s degree programs. However, the specific admission requirements vary from university to university and program to program.

Generally, to be admitted to a bachelor’s degree program in Germany, you must have a secondary school leaving certificate that is equivalent to the German Abitur. For Nigerian students, this typically means having at least five credits in relevant subjects, including Mathematics and English Language, in either WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.

In addition to the academic requirements, you will also need to demonstrate proficiency in the German language. Many universities require applicants to have a minimum B1 or B2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) for admission.

Other requirements may include submitting a CV, a motivation letter, and passing an entrance examination or interview, depending on the program and the university.

It is essential to check the specific admission requirements of the university and program you are interested in applying to. You can find this information on the university’s website or by contacting the university’s international office.
