Could Germany work for me?

Start with costs, entry routes and the questions to answer before choosing a university.

Choose the Bachelor’s or Master’s route, check eligibility and plan documents and deadlines.

Prepare your visa documents → 04 · Before your flight

Plan housing and travel → 05 · Your first two weeks

Available now

Read, practise or ask for a review

01Free resources

Read about applications, costs, scholarships and learning German. Use the university directory as a starting point, then check each programme’s requirements.

02The Leap Lab

Group sessions for practical tasks such as a German mock test or an application plan. Check current Labs and interest lists. An interest registration is not a confirmed session booking.

03Profile evaluation

Send a short request. We contact you within 48 hours, ask for the documents needed to review your situation, and explain possible routes and important gaps. The request is free.

Personal support · interest open

We are developing 1:1 guidance with Anushka Sharma, application mentorship and focused arrival support. Read the proposed scope before registering interest. These are not confirmed bookings or paid services.

Before you commit

Three things to plan early

01The full budget

Tuition is only one part. Include living costs, proof of funds, travel and an arrival buffer. A future student job is not money you already have. Build your budget →

02Documents and timing

Check your programme’s requirements before paying for tests or applications. APS verifies academic documents; a VPD is a preliminary review issued by uni-assist. The documents you need depend on your route. Understand the application process →

03Language and housing

An English-taught degree does not remove every language barrier. Start German before moving and look into accommodation once you know your destination. Prepare for everyday life →

From the founder · Anushka Sharma

Why I started The Leap Europe

My family paid for study-abroad guidance, but I still had to research programmes and work out important steps myself. That experience shaped this website: explain the process clearly, link the official sources and make it easier to decide what to do next.

I studied at Miranda House in Delhi and SKEMA Business School in Paris. I now live and work in Saarbrücken, Germany. Read my background and the full story →

Universities decide admissions, authorities decide visas and employers decide hiring. We do not promise those outcomes. Parents or family can be involved when the student wants their support.

Beyond the application

Keep building while you study

Use the German-learning guide to build a routine and The Leap Jobs to discover working-student roles, internships and graduate opportunities. Your university’s career service can help you understand the local market and review applications.

For your first weeks, semester routine and career preparation, use the life in Germany checklist. Finding a vacancy is a starting point; getting a job still takes a suitable application and the employer’s decision.
