Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Complete the online form to arrange a personal appointment. The secretariat will contact you to schedule a meeting with the head of the relevant school level, on-site or via videoconference, whichever you prefer. The next steps of your application will be discussed during this meeting.
2. After the initial meeting, you discuss the next steps of your application together. For students who join DSG later in their schooling, taster days are offered. These days help families and students experience the DSG environment before applying.
3. We keep you informed about the status of your inquiry and respond as soon as possible. If additional documents are required, you will be notified promptly. The admissions process is designed to be clear, timely and straightforward.
If a German course is fully booked, additional registrations are placed on a waiting list; a place cannot be guaranteed. The number of participants is limited.
