1. Prepare APS audit materials: 1-2 months.
There are many and complicated materials to be prepared for APS audit in Germany. Strict Germans require students who are preparing for a master's degree to prepare from the materials of primary schools, and then register on the roster of junior high schools, high schools and college entrance examinations, as well as the university's proof of attendance and transcripts.
2. Sign up for APS audit and wait in line for 2-5 months.
3. If the initial test is unsuccessful, try again after 3 months.
APS audit is very strict, and the pass rate of first instance is about 50%. Some majors, such as machinery, have a pass rate of less than 40%. If the first trial fails, you can apply for the second trial only after 3 months.
4. Get the audit results, prepare the application materials and apply for 1-2 months.
After the audit, you will get the audit results in about 7 days, and then you can start applying for the school. Choose which university to apply for and write the application documents.
5. Waiting for the admission result, 2-4 months.
The distribution time of German university admission results is uncertain, some schools will distribute it earlier, and some schools will distribute it shortly before admission.
6. Apply for a visa 1-2 months.
In principle, the processing period for studying in Germany is 4-6 weeks, that is, about one month to one and a half months.
7. Prepare before departure, buy air tickets, etc.
To sum up, the whole process takes about 8 months when it is fast, and a year and a half when it is slow, so we should plan ahead. The review of professional knowledge runs through the whole process from APS registration to audit. Language learning is always going on. It is suggested that students who are interested in applying for German teaching should prolong their language learning time. It is best for them to start preparing for the next semester when they are sophomores, and start learning German when they are juniors at the latest, so that the whole process will not be particularly hurried or even missed. Students who are going to apply for English teaching also get IELTS scores early.
