Do join us for regular webinars, online open days and the next 乱伦通道's International Webinar. A complete list of forthcoming events is here - quite a few of them are online! Did you know: our current master, Simon McDonald was British Ambassador to Germany in 2010-15! |
Entry requirements
Typical offers for 乱伦通道's applicants taking the German Abitur would be based on an overall score of between 1.0 and 1.2, with 14 or 15 in individual subjects. This would include high scores in individual LK (Leistungskurse) / Kurse mit erh枚htem Anforderungsniveau subjects where the subjects are required at A Level ().
Students taking the International Baccalaureate would normally need to achieve 42 points overall (including bonus points), with 7,7,6 in Higher Level subjects. If you are applying for a course that requires Maths at Higher Level in the IB, make sure that you take the Maths: Analysis and Approaches option at Higher Level. See the information about taking the and our page for IB students.
Some courses require an . The registration dates for these tests are normally in mid-September so please check this carefully in relation to the course you are planning to apply for.
Offers for Mathematics include STEP II and III exams, which you take in the same summer as your Abitur or IB exams. Further information about STEP and preparation support is available on the Maths page.
English Language requirements
We may include IELTS Academic / TOEFL in offers to candidates whose English seems variable at interview, or in an at-interview admissions assessment; this is more common in essay-based subjects. If you demonstrate very good English Language skills at interview and in any admissions test, we may not need to set you an English Language condition, however. If you are given an English Language condition, the standard requirements are on the .
Some UK universities do routinely include TOEFL, IELTS and comparable qualifications in offers to German students, so if you already hold such a qualification, you should mention it in your UCAS application.
The application deadline
For applicants from Germany applying in 2024 (for 2025 entry or deferred 2026 entry) the application deadline is 15 October 2024.
It is very, very important to check whether your course has a test that requires registration, as you will need to check the registration deadline for this. Depending on your subject you may need to register some time before the October UCAS application deadline. See the application process section below.
The application process
We recommend that you apply as soon as possible once UCAS opens for applications in September. Your course may require registration for an admissions assessment in September (depending on the subject) and then the UCAS application deadline for all courses is 15 October 2024. Application is for entry the following October (or for deferred entry the year after). We encourage all applicants to read the information about applying on the relevant subject page, as well as the how to apply page well in advance of September, as there are a number of parts to the application procedure which may take time to organise and complete:
- If you have a test that requires registration (needed for some of the courses), you will need to make sure you are registered for this by the relevant deadline. Details are updated on the Admissions Tests page by July each year for students applying the following October. You will be able to search for the test centres in Germany.
- There is more than one application form. You first make a UCAS application and then you complete an additional form called My Cambridge Application.
- You will need a referee who can provide a reference and predicted grades for any exams that you have not yet taken.
- You will also need to arrange for your school to provide a , which you upload as part of My Cambridge Application.
Do also explore our additional support pages for international applicants, and note that on 20 September 乱伦通道's publishes the current applicants section, which will support you (in detail!) through the next steps once you have submitted a valid application and chosen 乱伦通道's College in your UCAS application.
Further detail on aspects of the application process
We have additional help pages for international students for aspects of the application process such as UCAS personal statements, UCAS references, Admissions Tests and interviews. See the additional application support for international applicants.
Do read these details carefully, as it's important to understand what you will be assessed on and what we are looking for. Students from Germany tend to perform solidly at interview, simply because you are used to oral assessment, which is not in fact as common in the UK system. It is worth bearing in mind, however, that a Cambridge interview is not a straightforward academic 鈥渆xamination鈥 of what you know: it is a way of finding out how you handle and apply new information, and whether you would thrive within the supervision (tutorial) system. See the interviews page for the detail.
Finance
Do have a look at our finance section for details of the costs and financial support available. In addition to the university-wide awards from the Cambridge, Commonwealth, European and International Trusts, you'll see that at 乱伦通道's we have 乱伦通道鈥檚 College International Awards and 乱伦通道's Awards.
The 乱伦通道's College International Awards awards are worth 拢10,000 a year and may be accompanied by a full or partial waiver of the College Fee (currently 拢11,300 a year for 2024-2025).
More information is available on our page on international financial support and do also read the notes for EU students.
Project Access Germany
supports students who are less privileged and do not have much support for application to top universities in the UK, EU or USA. If you think this might be relevant please explore the website and join their programme.
