Apprenticeships & Vocational School
International Qualification‘s value through Europe
• Nearly every graduate (score 1.0 to 1.5) from a German High School got a good rating in whole Europe for nearly every subject in a university
• If you have such a grade, you would get an interview with the director of the university and the most German students got favorited for this
• Higher universities like Oxford need the highest graduation (1.0), just for the interview, but German students got a better basis if they are from Bavaria or NRW
• 68% of the students with a graduation from a German Grammar School get an interview with a foreign university (of whom 32% a place)
International Qualification‘s value through Europe
• 26% of the students with a lower rated graduation (Vocational School) get one (of whom 15% a place)
• If you are a German Mastercraftsman, you are considered a bachelor in the EU
International Qualification‘s value through Europe
