German universities have a systematic approach to evaluating international degrees for admission to master programs in German, ensuring that applicants meet academic standards and have the necessary background for their chosen field. First, universities verify that the applicant’s undergraduate degree is equivalent to a German bachelor’s degree, often using databases like anabi, which helps assess the accreditation and recognition of foreign institutions and degrees.

The evaluation process typically involves reviewing the applicant’s academic transcripts, degree certificates, and the curriculum of their previous studies. For example, applicants for technical or engineering master programs in Germany may need a strong foundation in mathematics and relevant technical subjects. Similarly, business programs may look for coursework in economics, finance, or management. Some programs may also require specific prerequisites or minimum grades to ensure students are well-prepared.

In addition to academic records, German universities may request standardized test scores, like the GRE or GMAT, especially for competitive programs. Language proficiency is another essential factor; applicants may need to submit German (TestDaF or DSH) or English (TOEFL or IELTS) language test results, depending on the language of instruction.

Overall, this comprehensive evaluation ensures that international students admitted to master programs in German have the qualifications needed to succeed in their academic and professional journeys.
