Straight answers about studying in Germany

Most of what you will find online about studying in Germany is either out of date or written by someone who has never done it. Blocked account figures from three years ago get quoted as current. Visa timelines get repeated from forum posts. Requirements that apply to one consulate get presented as national rules.

These articles exist to fix that for the questions we are asked most often. Each one is written against the current requirements, dated so you can see how recent it is, and updated when the rules change — which, for things like the blocked account amount, is most years.

Where a topic has both a guide and an article here, the guide covers the process in general and the article covers what is specific to this year. Both are free to read and neither asks for your details.
