How early should I start the application process for September 2027 intake in Germany for a Master's?

Start your application process for the September 2027 intake in Germany at least 6 to 9 months in advance - ideally by November 2026. Application deadlines for Master's programs typically fall between December 2026 and July 2027, depending on the university.

This early start gives you enough time to:
- Gather required documents
- Prepare for language tests if needed
- Apply for scholarships and your student visa
