Length of study

Commonly 6 semesters; programme lengths vary.

After Grade 11 in Uzbekistan

Studienkolleg usually needed

The Uzbek attestat gives access via a Studienkolleg and the Feststellungsprüfung. One successful year at a recognised university gives direct access in related subjects.

Tests to plan for

German + entrance exam

Studienkollegs ask for German B1–B2 and an entrance test. German-taught degrees usually need B2 or higher; English-taught ones need IELTS or TOEFL.

Can I study in English?

German and some English-taught international options. Check the exact course.

More about qualifications and tests

According to anabin (KMK decision, June 2021), the Uzbek Grade 11 attestat opens university access through a Studienkolleg and the Feststellungsprüfung (assessment test).

With at least one successful year at a recognised university, the attestat gives direct access to the same or related subjects at all German universities.

Studienkollegs teach in German, ask for German B1–B2 and set an entrance exam. Most German-taught degrees ask for B2 or higher; English-taught degrees ask for IELTS or TOEFL.

Working while studying

Up to 140 full or 280 half days / year

For non-EU students. Student assistant jobs at the university are exempt but must be reported to the foreigners’ office. Self-employment needs its approval.

Check the official work rules

Roles to look for

  • Student assistant (HiWi) roles
  • Cafés, retail and office work
  • Working student roles and internships

The minimum wage is €13.90 an hour from January 2026. Working more than the limit needs special permission.

A job can help with everyday spending, but vacancies and earnings are not guaranteed. Plan your tuition and essential living costs without relying on future work.

Scholarships.
What can they cover?

Look for university awards that reduce tuition. Compare what your family would still pay for both study and living expenses.

Small merit stipends

Examples to explore, not guaranteed awards. Admission and scholarship applications can have different deadlines.

Universities to explore

QS World University Rankings 2027

Overall university rankings, not subject rankings. “=” means a shared rank; a range is a ranking band. Compare course content, language and entry requirements too.

These are examples to research, not UGO partners or guaranteed admission or funding.

A little preparation.
A clearer plan.

Bring your school results, subject interests and a family budget to your consultation.

Choose your intake

Most programmes start in October. uni-assist deadlines are often 15 July for winter and 15 January for summer; Studienkollegs often close earlier.

Prepare your documents

Start with your passport, attestat and transcript, and German or English certificates. uni-assist accepts Uzbek translations only if an Uzbek notary certifies the translator.

Agree a realistic budget

Plan the blocked account, any state tuition fee, semester contribution, housing deposit and the Studienkolleg year before you commit.
