Hi there,

I am in my final year of my Bachelors degree in Chemistry. I'll be graduating in July. When I entered Uni, I didn't actually know what I wanted to do so I just went with Chemistry. Recently, my interests have started gearing towards tech. Can I go straight and apply for a duales stadium(An ausbildung and a degree) in informatik? Will I be accepted?


**P.S I'm studying in a 3rd world country and I cannot speak the German language yet but I plan to learn

A duales Studium is still a Studium = university degree programme, even if it is combined with a vocational qualification, and you will likely need excellent German skills to be able to do the coursework.


Usually C1, maaaaybe B2, it depends on the specific course. Do contact the university and/or partner providing the practical part.

Assuming the ANABIN rating system in Germany recognizes the university and program you are doing, and you have good grades, then it would seem very likely you could get accepted to study in Germany. They will also have to fulfill the requirements for a study visa once accepted.


If one does a German taught program, as most bachelors are, they will have to have a C1 level. This is around a 2 year fulltime effort at a good language school. And while some Nigerians might even speak English as their first language, they will likely have to show certification of a C1 level if they do an English taught program - if one is even available. And one should not assume that they will be able to stay on afterwards and work in Germany unless they have good German. Many do an English taught program, usually a masters and then find out that their lack of German language skills makes them unemployable - although some niche job opportunities might exist in some fields. But not an issue if they plan to return to their home country after studying.
