Study and school: guides for Germany
- Studying in Germany: Studium and residenceAn Iranian national planning a Studium in Germany needs to coordinate university admission, the applicable national-visa route and residence permission. For residents of Iran, consult the German Embassy Tehran’s current student-visa instructions; in Berlin, the LEA handles study residence applications.
- Finding Deutschkurse in BerlinAn Iranian resident seeking Deutschkurse in Berlin can start with a Volkshochschule consultation. The city requires advice before its German and integration courses; course access and any integration-course authorisation depend on your circumstances, not Iranian nationality alone.
- Studiengebühren: check your university's chargesIranian students must check the exact German university, programme and semester before budgeting. Tuition and semester contributions are different. Non-EU fees can apply in some locations, while exemptions depend on individual circumstances and timely evidence.
- Stipendien: find an eligible funding programmeIranian applicants already in Germany should check scholarship eligibility against both their background and time in Germany. Use the current funder's call, not an old award announcement; check academic level, language evidence, deadline and the application route.
- Deutschzertifikate: choose proof for your purposeIranian nationals in Germany should ask the receiving office or university which German certificate, result and age of evidence it accepts before booking a test. A course certificate or a generic level label does not necessarily meet the actual requirement.
- Kita: voucher and childcare placeIranian families living in Berlin should apply to their district Jugendamt for a Kita-Gutschein and look for a suitable childcare place. The voucher sets approved care hours; it is separate from finding an available place and signing the care contract.
- Schulsystem: choosing a school after movingIranian families in Germany should use their federal state's school rules; this guide describes Berlin. Contact the district Schulamt about placement, explain schooling in Iran and German-language needs, and check the route to the appropriate school and qualification.
- Schulferien: plan travel around school datesIranian families in Germany should use the school calendar for their own federal state before booking travel to Iran. In Berlin, check the official holiday dates and any school-specific calendar; extra absence requires the school's applicable leave procedure.
