Yes, you need a valid passport before applying for study abroad programs in Germany, the UK, and Ireland.

All three countries require a copy of your passport for both university and student visa applications. Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your studies. Make sure your passport is current before you begin your application process to avoid any delays.
