Welchen Schulabschluss braucht man normalerweise, um an einer Universität in Deutschland ein Studium zu beginnen?What school qualification is usually required to begin studying at a university in Germany?

Explanation

For direct admission to a German university one generally needs the Abitur, formally called the Allgemeine Hochschulreife. This school-leaving certificate attests that the holder has completed upper secondary education and meets academic standards for higher studies. Diplomas, commercial powers (Prokura), or vocational journeyman exams do not serve as general university entrance qualifications.
