How to Check if a Private University Is Recognised
Before you apply, check three things:
- State recognition. Search the university on Hochschulkompass. Recognised private universities are listed as staatlich anerkannt.
- Who awards the degree. If the degree is awarded by a foreign partner university, it isn’t a German state-recognised degree. Ask the school directly.
- Programme accreditation. Check that your specific programme is accredited (for example by FIBAA, ZEvA or another agency registered with the German Accreditation Council).
We go through these checks with you for every university on your shortlist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about private universities in Germany, admissions, fees and intakes.
Private universities in Germany often offer more flexible entry criteria, smaller classes, several intakes a year and many English-taught programmes. Many private universities include internships or industry projects in their programmes and have strong company links. Check what each programme actually includes.
EduFleet in Rajkot helps with profile evaluation, course shortlisting, scholarship and early-bird discount information, SOP review, APS guidance, blocked account and health insurance guidance, and interview preparation.
Many are, but not all. A state-recognised (staatlich anerkannt) private university is approved by the German state where it is located, and many are also institutionally accredited by the German Science and Humanities Council (Wissenschaftsrat). Their programmes are usually accredited by agencies such as FIBAA or ZEvA. Some private schools in Germany instead award degrees through foreign partner universities, and these are not German state-recognised degrees. You can check any university on Hochschulkompass.
Requirements usually include academic transcripts, a CV, a Statement of Purpose and proof of English (or German) proficiency. Private universities often look at your whole profile, so students with average marks or study gaps may still have options, depending on the programme.
Often, yes, but usually not directly from Class 12 alone. Many private universities offer a foundation year or a foundation semester, or an entrance test, for Indian Class 12 students (CBSE, ICSE and State Board). The exact route depends on the university and your marks, and we check it for each programme.
Tuition at private universities in Germany often ranges from about €8,000 to €20,000 or more per year, depending on the institution, city and programme. Some offer early-bird discounts or merit scholarships. We’ll show you the current fees and any discounts on each university’s own website.
While an IELTS score (typically 6.0 to 6.5) is standard for English-taught programmes, many private universities also accept Pearson PTE Academic, TOEFL iBT, Duolingo English Test (DET), or an internal university English assessment interview.
It depends on your profile and goals. Private universities can suit students who need an English-taught bachelor’s, a flexible start date or smaller classes. If your profile is strong and your budget is tight, public universities may be the better fit. We compare both with you honestly.
Some private universities accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate or their own English test or interview instead of IELTS. Even so, a recognised English test can make later steps easier, so we’ll advise you case by case.
Yes. The APS certificate is mandatory for all Indian students applying for a German student visa, for both public and private universities.
State-recognised private universities include IU International University, SRH Universities, GISMA, Berlin School of Business and Innovation (BSBI), Constructor University and CBS University of Applied Sciences.
German is not required for admission to English-taught programmes. Learning basic German (A1 to B1) is still strongly recommended for daily life, part-time jobs and internships. EduFleet runs German classes from A1 to C2 in Rajkot.
Public universities usually start in October (winter) and April (summer). Many private universities offer more intakes, often in September/October and March/April, and some also have January, May or June starts. Intakes vary by programme.
Yes. Students at state-recognised private universities have the same work rules as public university students: up to 140 full days or 280 half days per calendar year. After graduating, they can stay up to 18 months to look for a job related to their degree. These rules may differ for schools that award foreign partner degrees.
