You have to take IELTS, and the minimum score should be 7. You have good knowledge of the course and should have good grades in your graduation to be selected.

The handling of all documents to get the Schengen visa is the difficult part, and getting the funds transferred from your bank account to a foreign account. I applied via the university website as well. The University of Freiburg is one of the best universities in Germany and in the world. The entire admission process took around 3 months. I received the admission letter at June end and the course started in October. It took 3 months to get the Schengen Visa, get all the formalities done regarding the passport, and create a bank account....Read More
