My GUIDE, the DAAD’s study guidance platform, is now Study Guide Germany. This free DAAD service supports international prospective students and German higher education institutions and is available with a new design as well as new and enhanced features.

 

Individual support on your path to studying in Germany

Study Guide is a versatile tool for planning your studies. It supports prospective international students throughout their individual journey towards studying in Germany – from initial orientation and preparation through to applying to a German higher education institution. Study Guide brings together all the key information in one place, helping users understand the next steps on their path to studying in Germany.

 

 

With a personal account, users receive a personalised to-do list with information and support services based on the details they provide, such as the qualification they are aiming for, their study interests and language skills. The recommendations are tailored to their educational background, interests and qualifications and show, step by step, which tasks still need to be completed. This helps users keep track of their progress and prepare for studying in Germany with confidence.

 

Specifically, the platform offers prospective international students:

• Reliable, quality-assured information about studying in Germany
• Find suitable degree programmes in Germany including international programmes using the platform’s matching function
• A non-binding assessment of their educational qualifications and language skills for admission to higher education
• The opportunity to discover scholarships that match their preferred degree programmes
• Information about language and preparatory courses offered by German higher education institutions
• Direct contact with German higher education institutions
• Information about DAAD information services worldwide as well as counselling services nearby

 

Degree programmes in Germany

A key feature of Study Guide is its personalised programme search. The platform brings together courses offered by German higher education institutions in one place, providing a comprehensive overview of almost all study options available in Germany. The information is based on data from the Higher Education Compass (Hochschulkompass, HSK) of the German Rectors’ Conference (Hochschulrektorenkonferenz, HRK) as well as information from the GATE database International Programmes in Germany.
