2. Receive Your Visa in Time

Applying for a student visa can take a long time. Students in the past unfortunately missed out on studying with us because they did not receive the visa in time. Don't let that be you! With early admission you can begin the visa process sooner to make sure you have a smooth start to your first semester.

If you are admitted to KSOP you will have additional time to apply for a scholarship, if needed.

4. Plan Ahead of Schedule

In order to live and study in Germany, you will need German health insurance and a German bank account. Once you receive admission, you can already research the different health insurances and banks to make a stress-free decision based on what's best for you. Important to note: you can only sign up for the German health insurance and German bank account upon arrival in Germany.
