What documents should I prepare for the university application process in Germany?

You’ll need these key documents to apply for a Master’s program in Germany:

- Completed application form (university’s online portal)
- Bachelor’s degree certificate and transcripts (with grading scale)
- Curriculum Vitae (CV), ideally in Europass format
- Statement of Purpose (SOP) or Motivation Letter
- Language proficiency certificate: IELTS/TOEFL for English-taught, TestDaF/DSH for German-taught programs
- 2-3 letters of recommendation (academic/professional)
- Copy of valid passport
- Proof of financial resources (such as a blocked account)
- APS certificate (required for Indian applicants)
- Portfolio/work samples (only for fields like design or architecture)

All documents should be officially certified and translated into English or German if needed.
