If you have completed your matriculation (10th class) and dream of studying in Germany, this guide is for you. This is not for German surf masters or bachelor students — you can go to Germany even after matriculation if you follow the right process.
🇩🇪 Step 1: Understand what your options are
There are 2 major options for students after matriculation in Germany:
1. Ausbildung program (vocational training)
- This is a 3-year paid training program.
- You get a stipend (€800–€1,200/month).
- Fields: IT, hotel management, nursing, mechanics, etc.
- Requirement: German language (at least B1 level)
2. Studienkolleg (foundation year)
- In Germany, there is a 1-year foundation course before the Bachelor's.
- Matriculation students must first complete an intermediate (FSc/FA/ICS/ICOM) or A-level.
- Do I have to do an intermediate in Pakistan first for this option?
