| Can I study in Germany if I don't know German? | | | |
| Yes! Many study programmes in Germany are offered in English, so a lack of German language skills doesn’t disqualify you from applying. However, learning German is highly recommended to enhance your daily life and overall experience in Germany. | | | |
