What is the validity of my diploma for application purposes for a Master's?

Yes, your Master's degree in Arts from India is generally valid for applying to German universities, as long as your university is listed as "H+" (recognized) in the anabin database.
- anabin "H+" status: Your degree is directly accepted.
- anabin "H-" status: You may need to complete a Studienkolleg (foundation year) first.
- APS certificate: Required for all Indian applicants to verify academic documents. Processing takes about 3 - 4 weeks and the certificate is valid for life.
To proceed, ensure your university is recognized in anabin and obtain the APS certificate before applying. If you need help with these steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
