Frequently asked questions
Do I need to speak German?
Not always: many master’s programmes are taught in English. The language is on each fiche.
What is the blocked account?
A proof of funds required for the visa, not a fee. A scholarship may replace it depending on its amount.
Does DAAD require work experience?
Some programmes, especially development-related ones, ask for two years or more. The fiche says so.
