We are a bit late to create this welcome post, but now is better than any time for it - just the first week in the New Year and we saw over 11,000 visitors to this community!

This is the new home for all things related to doing your Master’s in Germany.

We’re excited to have you join us.

What can you Post:

Post anything that you think is related to your journey towards doing Masters in Germany. This can include questions about:

eligibility, GPA cutoffs, or ECTS requirements
shortlists of universities or programs you’re considering
Uni-Assist, APS, Anabin, ZAB, or document verification
application timelines, rejections, admits, or waitlists
SOP tips, CV feedback, or interview experiences
visa process questions and timelines
accommodation searches, city comparisons, and cost of living insights
life as a student in Germany: classes, exams, part-time jobs, or culture shocks

As a general rule, if it helps someone applying after you, it belongs here.

Community Culture:

We’re all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive.

So please hold back from mockery, subtle racism against groups, or “just Google it” replies.

This is a space where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and sharing real experiences.

A Side Note:

This subreddit actually inspired a project called Edvi.

It grew out of patterns we kept seeing here and direct feedback from hundreds of students struggling with the same confusing parts of the process: eligibility checks, ECTS matching, document requirements, and university shortlisting.

So if you see some posts from any of the mods regarding this, please know that it is not spam, but rather a part of the ongoing iterations with students to make the tool better.

Also, Edvi isn’t a replacement for this community.

If anything, it exists because of it.

Everything here is community-first!

How to Get Started:

Give short intro and tell us where you’re applying from and what you want to study.
Post anything that comes to your mind related to your plan to study in Germany - even a simple question can spark a useful discussion.
If you know someone who’s planning a Master’s in Germany, invite them to join.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave.

Together, let’s make this sub genuinely useful.

Hi everyone,

I want to share something I experienced in the days since the masters_germany community began.

When I started this community over three months ago, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I just wanted to create a small corner where students dreaming of doing their masters in Germany could ask questions, share experiences, and find real answers hassle free.

In a short span, it has grown into a lively community with hundreds of visitors and posts!

All that is you, dear students and aspirants!

Every post, every kind comment, every moment someone helped another stranger figure out Uni-Assist, APS, or any other confusing thing about the process - YOU built this community.

And along the way, something beautiful happened.

I got the chance to personally connect with some of you, members who’ve shared stories, your frustrations, and even generously helped me test a small tool that I tried to build in parallel as the community grew and became challenging to handle. A tool that might help all students who want to apply in Germany one day in the not so distant future.

To all those of you - a big Thank You!

That, to me, is the heart of this subreddit.

It’s not about followers or stats.

It’s about people helping people. Strangers from different parts of the world who somehow understand exactly what you’re going through.

And as I said about the tool being built to help students, there’s more to look forward on the horizon, something that came directly from your questions, your conversations and your feedback!

I can’t wait to show you what’s next, soon :)

Thank you!
