How to apply for BScN at Hochschule Bremen – City University of Applied Sciences — step-by-step process, documents required, and application timeline.
Admissions to BScN at Hochschule Bremen – City University of Applied Sciences follow the public university process for international medical applicants in Germany. We confirm the current cycle, seat availability, and document format as part of the admissions process.
Begin German language study immediately — B2 is the prerequisite for everything. Enrol with Goethe-Institut India or a certified German language school. Allow 18-24 months from A1 to B2. Obtain an officially recognised B2 certificate (Goethe-Institut, telc, TestDaF, or DSH) — only then proceed to application steps.
Obtain the APS certificate: apply online at aps.org.cn/indien (APS India) with your Class 10, 12, and degree marksheets. Attend the APS interview in New Delhi or Chennai. Pay the EUR 150 fee. Wait 6-10 weeks for the certificate. This is mandatory and cannot be skipped for any Indian student.
Confirm your HZB pathway: if you have an Indian bachelor's degree, your HZB is recognised — apply directly to nursing programmes. If you have only Class 12, plan 1 year of Indian university studies first, then apply to a Studienkolleg in Germany (foundation year). We assess your HZB status as the first step.
For Duales Studium Pflege: identify hospital partners — major hospital groups (Charité, Helios, Asklepios, Vivantes, DRK, Diakonie) advertise dual nursing study trainee positions. Apply directly to the hospital's Ausbildung portal. On securing a training contract, apply to the partner university with the Ausbildungsvertrag as part of the application.
Apply to the university: most German universities use uni-assist.de (central application portal) or their own portals. Submit: APS certificate, German B2 certificate, HZB documents (Class 12 + degree transcripts with certified German translations + Apostille), passport copy, CV (Lebenslauf) in German, motivation letter (Motivationsschreiben) in German, and Ausbildungsvertrag if applicable.
Receive Zulassungsbescheid (admission letter). Open a Sperrkonto (blocked account) with a German bank (Deutsche Bank, Fintiba, Expatrio) and deposit EUR 11,208. Apply for German student visa (Visum zu Studienzwecken) at the German Embassy or Consulate in India — fee EUR 75. Processing: 4-12 weeks.
Arrive in Germany: register your address (Anmeldung) at the local Einwohnermeldeamt within 14 days of arrival — mandatory. Enrol at the university (Immatrikulation). Pay semester contribution (EUR 150-500 covers admin, student union, and the Deutschlandticket public transport pass in most states). Open a German bank account (N26, DKB, or Sparkasse).
Intake
October · April
When to start
Start document preparation and application planning at least 3–6 months before the October intake.
Admissions notes
Seat availability, invitation timelines, fee notices, hostel options, and visa processing should be rechecked for the current cycle.
Germany's public nursing programmes charge no tuition — only semester contributions (EUR 150-500/semester, which typically includes the Deutschlandticket transport pass). For dual study students: the hospital pays EUR 1,000-1,200/month training allowance (Ausbildungsvergutung) throughout the programme — this is the single most significant financial advantage of the Duales Studium over a full-time university programme. DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) offers scholarships for international students in specific fields — check daad.de for current India-Germany programme funding. Deutschlandstipendium: EUR 300/month merit scholarship awarded by many German universities — apply after enrolment. Student jobs (Studentenjob/HiWi): 20 hours/week maximum during term; hospital porter, care assistant (Pflegehelfer), and administrative roles at hospitals are accessible for nursing students and generate EUR 500-900/month additional income. BAfoG (German government student funding) is not available to non-EU students in the first 3 years. Indian education loans (SBI, HDFC Credila, HDFC Bank, Avanse) are available for German university programmes — German public Fachhochschulen are well-recognised internationally for loan approval.
How we assess
We confirm whether any fee waiver is merit-based, automatic, limited-seat, renewal-dependent, or deferred to later years before presenting it as part of a cost plan.
What we obtain in writing
Written scholarship terms, net payable tuition after any waiver, and whether hostel or ancillary charges are excluded are confirmed before families make a financial decision.
A WDOMS-listed MBBS opens six career pathways. India return via FMGE/NExT is the most common, but the same degree qualifies you to sit licensing exams for the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand — or stay for PG in Germany.
Timeline: 6–9 months after graduation
Most common pathway for Indian students. After completing your MBBS and one-year internship abroad, you clear FMGE (being replaced by NExT) to obtain NMC registration. Students Traffic provides free FMGE/NExT coaching for students who join through us.
