VERIFICATION OF UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE QUALIFICATION
To ensure that the education certificates and diplomas acquired abroad comply with the admission requirements of the ifs (higher education qualifications), applicants can get information at the following link: http://anabin.kmk.org.
PROOF OF GERMAN LANGUAGE SKILLS
At the time of application, prospective foreign students must have at least the language level B2 (CEFR). If accepted for a study place, students must successfully complete a DSH-2 examination (German Language Test for University Admission).
The application tasks must always be completed in German.
PROOF OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS
Proof of English language skills (good level) is not required. If necessary, a check of the English language level will be integrated into the entrance examination.
PROOF OF LIVELIHOOD
To obtain a residency permit, international students must demonstrate sufficient funds to secure their living expenses. The amount required is equivalent to the Bafög maximum rate of 861 euros per month, calculated for one year.
WORK PERMIT INFORMATION
Citizens of member states of the European Union, the European Economic Area (EEA) – that is Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein – as well as Switzerland have equal legal status on the labor market as German citizens. This means that they have the same access to the labor market as German students and are permitted to work as much as they would like to without having to obtain prior approval of German authorities. Students are advised, however, not to work longer than 20 hours a week, as you would have to pay social insurance contributions should you exceed this number of hours.
International students from countries which are NOT member states of the EU, the EEA or Switzerland are normally permitted to work 120 full or 240 half days per year if they are in possession of a valid residence permit for Germany. The immigration office will record these provisions in your residence permit. Should you wish to work more days per year, you will need to obtain approval from your immigration office and the German Federal Employment Agency.
Since the Master'S ProgramME Film is a German-language programme, please find all further information on the German-language page.
