Universität Stuttgart

Universität Stuttgart is not a member of Uni-Assist. Therefore, you must submit your applications directly through the university's own online portal. Application requirements and necessary documents can vary depending on the program you're applying for. We recommend you thoroughly check the 'International Students' section on the official website.

Parents who come to Germany on a work visa can apply for a family reunification visa for their children. If your daughter is 17 and nearing high school graduation, she'll need to complete the high school diploma and recognition (Zeugnisanerkennung) processes to apply to universities in Germany. University admission requirements and language proficiency (usually B2/C1 level German) are crucial. She might also need to attend a Studienkolleg (preparatory college) if necessary.

The Stuttgart Foreigners' Office (Ausländerbehörde) can be busy, like other offices in major German cities. The approval processes for financial proof documents, such as a guarantor certificate (Verpflichtungserklärung) or a blocked account (Sperrkonto), can take time. Scheduling an appointment and preparing all documents completely can speed up the process. It's best to check the office's official website for current workload and appointment availability or contact them directly.

No, there's no issue with emailing the Foreigners' Office. In some cases, it's even a preferred method of communication for making appointments or getting information. However, responses to emails can take time. For important applications, applying by post or in person might be more secure.

While Universität Stuttgart's admission requirements vary by program, your high school GPA (Abiturnote or equivalent after recognition) and language proficiency (German or English, depending on the program you apply for) are usually critically important. An A2 level German certificate is generally not sufficient for direct university admission; most programs require B2 or C1 level German, proven by exams like TestDaF or DSH. While a 2.5 GPA (according to the German grading system) is a good grade, more competitive programs might require higher scores. For definitive information, you should check the specific admission requirements for your desired program on the university's website.

Yes, an acceptance letter (Zulassungsbescheid) from a language course in Germany is an important document for applying for a 'language course visa' (Sprachkursvisum) or a 'university applicant visa' (Studienbewerbervisum). However, the type and conditions of the visa can vary depending on the duration and intensity of the language course, and your intention to transition to university studies. Before applying for a visa, it's crucial to carefully review the current visa requirements of the German Consulate.

There are many quality language courses in and around Stuttgart. Popular options include the Goethe-Institut, Volkshochschule (VHS), and various private language schools (e.g., Sprachschule Aktiv, Alinguas Sprachschule). When choosing, it's beneficial to consider the course's intensity, price, location, and certification (e.g., Telc, Goethe certificates). You can also research language courses offered directly by universities.
