What you leave with

Three answers, by the end of the evening.

01

The route open to you

Direct admission, or a foundation year first. You will know which one your certificate points to.

02

What to fix this term

The decisions still yours to make, and the deadlines that quietly close them.

03

What the year costs

Semester contribution, living costs, and the sum the embassy needs to see in a blocked account.

The agenda

What we cover, in order.

0100:00 to 00:08

Why Germany

The case in numbers, not adjectives.

No tuition at most public universities, and what the semester contribution costs
Work rights while you study, and the 18 month job seeker visa after
Where Germany really ranks, and against whom

0200:08 to 00:18

How German universities are built

Three kinds of institution, two languages, one gate you cannot go around.

Universitäten, Technische Universitäten and Fachhochschulen, and who each suits
Bachelor 6 to 8 semesters, Master 2 to 4, and how ECTS adds up
B1 or C1, and which of TestDaF, DSH, telc, ÖSD or Goethe proves it

0300:18 to 00:25

The foundation year (Studienkolleg)

The most misunderstood year in the process. Not a language school, not a penalty.

Who needs one, and who skips it entirely
The T, M, W and G streams, and which one your certificate points to
The Feststellungsprüfung, and what passing it opens across Germany

0400:25 to 00:43

Your certificate, and what it opens

The longest block. This decides your route, and it is where most families get it wrong.

Anabin, the official German database, and how to check yours for free
IB, A-Levels, the American diploma, Standard XII and the Gulf certificates
Conditional and unconditional offers, and why the difference matters
Medicine, honestly. The numerus clausus reality, and why it is very hard

0500:43 to 00:50

If you do not meet the requirements

Two routes stay open. We walk both.

What a recognised year of university at home does to your file
Direct admission at a partner university, including SRH
Which partners we represent directly, and which we do not

0600:50 to 00:58

The student visa

Six documents and one appointment, in the order the process expects.

The blocked account (Sperrkonto), what it holds and when it must exist
Appointment, submission, processing, collection, arrival
The ordering mistake behind most delays we see

Your questions

Open until the session ends. Ask in English or Arabic, and bring your transcript.

One advisor, from your first call to your first week in Germany.

No handovers, no call centre, no guesswork. The person who reads your transcript on the night is the person who files your application.

ICEF accredited · Switzerland-based · remote across the Gulf

Curriculum by curriculum

We go through yours by name.

IB Diploma

Which subject combinations meet the German KMK conditions.

British IGCSE and A-Levels

How your three subjects are read, and why a foundation year is rarely open.

American Diploma

Accreditation, units, and the four AP exams that open direct admission.

Indian Standard XII

CBSE and State Boards, the APS certificate, and where JEE removes a year.

Gulf certificates

UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, each read on its own terms.

Something else

Bring it to the question and answer and we read it with you.

Recognition is not decided by an agency or a website. Anabin, the KMK and each university decide it. Or run the free admission checker now.

Who it is for

Built for three people in the room.

Students still at school

Grade 10 to 12, while subject choices are still yours. The right three A-Levels can remove a whole foundation year.

Graduates and university students

What a recognised university year does to your route, and what a finished bachelor opens for a master.

Parents backing the decision

You are paying and you are worrying. The real cost of the year, the blocked account, insurance, and our role.

Who we are

Straight about what we are.

A consulting firm for German university admission, built for Gulf students. Worth knowing before you spend an evening with us.

What we do

Consultation and assessment. Your background and goals read properly, then the realistic route, including whether Germany is the right move at all.
Admission and applications. Through uni-assist, Hochschulstart and direct applications, with the Motivationsschreiben.
Visa and registrations. The student visa and blocked account, prepared in the order the process expects.

What we do not

We do not run language courses, foundation years or camps. We connect and register you with trusted partner providers.
We do not decide recognition. Anabin, the KMK and each university do.
We give no guarantees on admission or visa approval, and quote no success rates.

Laghbani Consulting holds ICEF agency status, an independently verified mark of an audited agency. Check the agency profile yourself.

Before you register

The usual questions.

Is it really free?

Yes, and nothing is sold on the call. If you want your own case worked through afterwards that is a separate paid consultation, mentioned once, at the end.

Which language is it in?

English and Arabic. Ask in whichever you prefer. German terms like Studienkolleg and uni-assist stay in their original form, because that is how you meet them on every form.

Can parents attend?

Please do. The cost, safety and timeline questions almost always come from the parents in the room.

My child is only in Grade 10. Too early?

It is the best time to come. Grade 10 and 11 is when subject choices are still open. Everything after Grade 12 is repair work.

Can I get my own case assessed on the call?

Ask anything in the question and answer and we answer honestly. A full transcript assessment is not something we can do live for everyone, so use the free admission checker or book a consultation.

One evening now, or a year later.

Most of what costs Gulf students a year is decided before they ever apply.
