International applicants must demonstrate that they have enough resources to cover their living expenses and costs related to their studies through:
- Blocked bank account. A bank account with a minimum of EUR 10.332. This amount corresponds to one academic year (2 semesters), and the account can be opened from the home country.
- Sponsorship (Bürgschaft). A person residing in Germany can be a sponsor as patron or guarantor, assuming complete financial responsibility and an irrevocable bank guarantee (see Ausländergesetz § 84 - Foreigners Act 84).
- Scholarships or grants. The letter of award of a scholarship and official grant documents prove the required financial support.
We strongly suggest seeing the complete requirements of the German embassy in your home country.
