What is an APS certificate for Germany?

The APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) is a mandatory verification certificate issued by the German Embassy in India validating your academic documents before university applications and visa filing.

No, hundreds of Master's and several Bachelor's programs are taught entirely in English. However, learning basic conversational German (A1/A2) is strongly recommended for day-to-day life and internships.
