Hello Mohd Rahman,

Welcome to ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº 😀

Have you already decided which university you would like to continue your studies at?

Cheers,

No i haven't decided yet

I have to find out

Can we do that?

I am asking if you already have an idea about this so that you can contact them directly and get more detailed information about the admission process.

@Mohd Rahman As you are Indian national (according to your profile), you need a German visa and residence permit to live and study in Germany. A permit from any other (EU-) country is not sufficient, it allows only visits.

To get a student visa, you need to apply for admission at a university of your choice first. (Note: Good German language skills are requied for most courses and recommended in any case.) Once you have that, apply for the visa at your country's German embassy.

Thanks for information

Can I file my visa here in Croatia after admission or I have to go to India?

@Mohd Rahman I am not sure - ask the embassy in Croatia!

I see that you also asked about "changing" your Croatian residence permit to a Norwegian (non-EU) one.

Please note that residence permits are strictly national and having one in country A does not help in getting one for country B. Also, it is NOT a good idea to move to a country where you don't speak the local language. So, unless you speak German AND Norwegian (plus Croatian, where you currently live), you better reconsider your unrealistic dreams!

This issue has been covered extensively on many threads. One needs the equivalence of the Germany Abitur, which is a 13-year schooling. 12-year schoolings like US high school fall short. Then one needs the grades and prerequisite courses according to which program one enters.

Almost all bachelors are taught in German on a C1 level. Good English expected but in addition not as an alternative. For the few English taught bachelors they are almost always at expensive private universities. Once having admission to a university program, most non-EU citizens will need to apply for the study visa including putting  1,091 euros/month (new price for 2025) on an annual basis in a blocked German bank account to cover living expenses. One doesn’t need a study visa if they are a Schengen or EU citizen and a few select other countries. That you have a residency permit for Croatia shows that you are not a Schengen citizen. The residency permit does not exempt you.

Virtually everything one needs to know about studying in Germany including a database with programs open to international students is on the website

Standard that one applies from their country of residency if it is different from their country of citizenship.
