Step-by-Step Roadmap to Germany
Masters, Ausbildung, or direct job (regulated/non-regulated). Don't mix plans—commit to one primary route.
Even A1 done properly creates momentum. Then you scale to A2/B1/B2 based on your route.
German-style CV, cover letter/SOP (as needed), plus clean document scans and consistent formatting.
Use a simple tracker. Apply in batches. Iterate based on feedback and timelines (intakes, interviews, documents).
Language requirements guide
Not all routes need the same German level. Use this to avoid wasting months on the wrong target.
Simple rule: Choose the pathway first, then build the language level and documents around it.

Is German A1 enough to start planning Germany?
Yes—German A1 is a smart start because it builds the base. But you should plan to move up to A2/B1 (and often B2 for healthcare/regulatory professions).
What’s better: Masters or Ausbildung?
Masters fits an academic track and long-term specialization. Ausbildung fits a practical track with stipend and a structured entry into the workforce.
Do I need German if my Masters is in English?
For admission, not always. For internships, part-time work, networking, and full-time jobs in Germany—German gives you a major advantage.
How many points do I need for the Opportunity Card?
You need a minimum of 6 points. Points are awarded for your recognized degree, work experience, age, and German/English language skills.
