What we are

Study in Germany Guide (studyingermanyguide.com) is an independent, educational website built and maintained by Abban Nadeem, a Pakistani student living in Germany. It is a compilation of research, personal experience, and publicly available information designed to help international students navigate the process of applying to German public universities.

What we are NOT

• Not a visa consultancy. We do not file, file for, or guarantee approval of any visa application. Visa decisions rest exclusively with the German embassy or consulate handling your application.
• Not a government agency. We have no affiliation with the German Embassy, DAAD, uni-assist, any university, or the German federal government.
• Not an accredited education agent. We do not process applications on behalf of universities. We have no paid relationships with universities that would influence our recommendations.
• Not a financial or legal advisor. Information about blocked accounts, insurance, taxes, and immigration status is provided for general guidance only. Consult a qualified professional for personalised advice.

Information is for educational purposes only

Every guide, comparison, calculator and article on this site is intended to help you understand the application process. We do our best to keep facts accurate as of the publication date (shown on each article and as "Updated June 2026" sitewide), but:

• Visa fees, blocked account amounts, and document requirements change frequently — always verify with the German embassy or consulate before submitting.
• University admission criteria are set by each university and can change between intakes — always check the official programme page.
• Scholarship deadlines and eligibility change yearly — always check the scholarship provider's official website.
• Insurance and blocked account regulations are set by German law and can change — confirm details with your provider.

Always verify with official sources

For any major decision, cross-check the information on this site with these authoritative sources:

• German Embassy / Consulate in your country — for visa rules, document requirements, processing times
• uni-assist.de — for university application process
• daad.de — for scholarship eligibility and university search
• study-in-germany.de — the official German government student information portal
• make-it-in-germany.com — official immigration and employment information
• The official website of your target university — for the most current admission criteria
