German universities have a global reputation and are strongly focused on research. They are praised for their top-notch
instruction, cutting edge facilities, reasonable tuition, top-notch faculty, and potentially priceless future
opportunities. Nevertheless, it is easy to understand why Pakistani students, like many other international students,
wish to study in Germany.
The higher education system in Germany is distinct and may differ significantly from the one you have experienced in
Pakistan. To make choosing the finest option easier, you must first comprehend how Germany's higher education
institutions are divided.

In Germany, there are three main categories of higher education providers:
As you may be wondering which of the aforementioned possibilities to select for your studies in Germany, we highlight
several significant distinctions and determine which ones best suit your learning objectives.
Universities prioritize theory above practice because they are primarily academic institutions. Even so, your course can
include a number of practice sessions even though you will primarily be learning theoretical techniques in many
disciplines. Furthermore, while placement years at a technical institution may allow you to participate in real world
professional settings, the majority of your coursework will focus on theoretical concepts and themes.
While some German universities concentrate in a single field, other universities provide a broad range of courses in
other subjects. Universities provide doctoral courses, unlike the majority of Applied Sciences universities.
Like everyone else, Pakistanis must pay 75€ for a German student visa (37.5€ for kids). Students from Pakistan are required to pay in Pakistani Rupees (PKR), the native currency. Therefore, before visiting the German Embassy or Consulate in Pakistan, it is imperative to carefully verify the current currency rate. For instance, the cost of a German student visa in Pakistani Rupees as of 06.09.2024 is 23,205 PKR (11,602.5 PKR for minors).
Generally speaking, you won't receive your money back even if your application is denied. In other words, there is no return for the cost of a German student visa. It's interesting to note that Pakistani students receiving scholarships from German public universities, like DAAD, are exempt from paying any expenses associated with obtaining a visa.
Since you will be interacting with German friends and locals on a daily basis, it is still better to learn some German even if the course you have chosen is taught in English. Speaking a little German also improves your chances of landing a good job because German firms seem to prefer foreigners who can interact with their clients.
Pakistani customs, culture, and cuisine are completely different from German culture and cuisine. To help you avoid potential culture shock, you should have a basic understanding of German culture.
Studying in Germany is very different from studying in the US and the UK, where parties are frequently planned by students. Students in Germany are very focused on their schoolwork and rarely have time for parties.
As a Pakistani student studying in Germany for the first time, you should be aware that the country's temperatures are lower than those in Pakistan. We advise you to purchase a coat if you're not accustomed to wearing one in Pakistan. Given that the average annual temperature in Germany is about 10 °C, the country experiences pleasant summers and chilly winters.
Germans are not inherently hostile, unlike what many people mistakenly think, but they won't become your friends merely because it suits them. Therefore, don't be shocked if a German coworker hardly greets you.
Once you have selected the course you want to take, it's time to verify and complete the prerequisites. Skylark provide
all details about documents requirements.
Since each university sets its own admission standards, they vary significantly based on the university you have chosen,
the course you are enrolled in, your country, and the academic level you are pursuing.
When applying to an undergraduate program in Germany, Pakistani students need to bring the following paperwork:
Pakistani students applying for a postgraduate course in Germany must present the following documents:
Students from Pakistan can apply in person, by mail, or online to learn German. Because it saves time and money, the
online application is more often used. The Uni Assist joint online application platform is used by the majority of
German universities to administer their applications.
Individuals who do not use this platform operate their own web application platforms. Typically, you must scan your
documents in the PDF or JPG format in order to create an online application.
The university will email you to confirm that you have applied for a spot at their school and that our application is awaiting verification as soon as they get it. Be aware that processing your application can take several weeks, as German universities get a large volume of overseas applications.
To be allowed to study in Germany, Pakistani students must get a German student visa. To begin the process of applying
for a German student visa, you must contact the German embassy in Islamabad or the German Consulate General in Karachi
as soon as you obtain the admission letter from your university.
The specifics will be explained by the officials, but generally speaking, the embassy will need the following paperwork:
