4. Q: The materials issued by colleges and universities are sealed letters in a unified format. Do I need to open the envelope to notarize the materials?

Some colleges and universities submit students' university diplomas, study certificates or transcripts to us in the form of sealed school-specific envelopes. This certificate is equivalent to translating official documents. Please don't open the envelope. If it is open, the relevant documents must be notarized again.

5. Q: Globally, only students from a few countries, such as Chinese mainland and Mongolia, need to participate in APS audit. As German students, we feel that this policy is unfair, which has created unnecessary obstacles for studying in China. Is it possible to cancel the APS audit project?

Not only German students studying in China need to pass the exam, but also the visa offices of German embassies and consulates around the world will review the materials of applicants studying abroad and invite them for interviews. In order to simplify the application procedures for international students from China and shorten the processing time, the Cultural Office of the Embassy and DAAD jointly established the Audit Office in July 2006.

6. Q: After submitting the application for studying abroad, how long will it take to get it? What should I do if I get the admission notice shortly before school starts?

Generally, the processing time for studying abroad visa is about 4 to 6 weeks, and in some cases it takes longer. It is recommended to submit the application at least 6 weeks before the start of school. If you receive the admission notice from the school just before the start of school, because the library can't guarantee the applicant to enter the school in time before the registration deadline, the applicant should contact the school and ask how to apply for the extension of admission. The embassy can't apply for a visa before receiving the admission notice.

7. Q: When applying for a study visa, do I have to submit all the original materials? Can I use a copy or a scanned copy instead?

All original materials with signature/seal must show the originals, such as proof of economic source, medical insurance certificate, college diploma and degree certificate (if any), APS audit certificate, admission notice, etc. Only when there is no signature on the admission notice and it is indicated that the admission notice is electronically printed, and it is valid without signature, can a copy or printed copy be submitted. Usually, the applicant can get back all the original materials after submitting the visa, and only need a copy of the materials to apply for the visa.

8. Q: How can I freeze my bank account as a guarantee for studying abroad?

A restricted deposit account refers to an account opened in a bank in Germany. In order to protect the public interest, the use of a certain amount of deposits (usually 8040 euros per academic year) is restricted, and account holders can only withdraw a certain amount of money every month. Most banks in Germany can open accounts with limited deposit use, which usually takes several working days. If you want to know whether and how I open such an account in China, you need to ask the German bank yourself. Unfortunately, we can't recommend any financial institutions.

9. Q: What is the first thing to continue undergraduate study five years after graduation? Is it a language barrier? What are the general steps?

Of course, you have to pass the language barrier. I recommend you to apply for German courses in institutions and schools such as Goethe Institute and China. In addition, we should find suitable universities and majors to prepare for APS assessment. If you want to know the life of studying abroad in advance, you can pay attention to the "Studying Abroad" series of German Impression Network Weibo:/zh/study-in-Deutschland/information-fur-provinceten-von-dsd-schulen.

Generally speaking, you don't need to pass APS audit to study PhD in Germany, but you can get in touch with German doctoral supervisors directly. If everything meets the requirements of the tutor and agrees to accept it, you can ask the tutor or the receiving school to issue an invitation letter or a doctoral program admission notice. If individual colleges and universities require applicants to participate in the audit, they can directly participate in the APS material audit procedure without an interview.
