Glossary

Direct subject admission
You can apply directly to a bachelor's program in Germany, but only in fields related to your high school stream (e.g., science, literature, industrial).
Additional Study Requirement
The number of completed years of accredited university study (in your home country) required to be eligible for German admission.
Not recognised
This stream is not considered sufficient for direct German university admission, even with extra years of study.
Industrial Stream
Vocational or technical high school tracks with a focus on applied sciences. These are often recognised only by Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulen) in Germany, if at all.
Fachhochschule (University of Applied Sciences)
A type of German university focused on practical skills and application, often with a narrower subject range and more direct career pathways.
