The choice of higher education will be one of the most crucial decisions in your child's life. It's therefore important to know that the German School Jakarta will fully support any path your child will choose. While Germany with its over 400 world-class universities is a compelling option, our students are well prepared to apply and enroll wherever they dream of, even at the most prestigious institutions such as Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, and Oxford.
Study in Germany
There are many good reasons for studying in Germany. Our school not only provides the required university entrance qualification (Abitur) for your child, but most importantly the advanced German language abilities that are required for over 97% of the undergraduate university courses in Germany.
Study Worldwide
Graduates from the German School Jakarta will earn the Abitur university entrance qualification that is accepted by all universities around the world. We also prepare your child with the best education, vast language abilities, and intercultural competence for studying in any country and university.
Global Top Universities
Germany enjoys a remarkable reputation for its higher education sector. There are more than 400 universities, including
some of the oldest in the world that date back to the Middle Ages, and many of them score high in international rankings. Times Higher Education has listed
22 German universities among the Top 200 in their
2022 World University Rankings, making Germany the third-best represented country in the world after the United States and the United Kingdom.
No Tuition Fees
At all public universities in Germany, domestic and international undergraduate students don't have to pay any tuition fees at all. Given the major costs for studying at top universities around the world, this is a decisive factor for many parents to choose the German education path for their child. Besides the significantly lower costs for parents,
students can focus on their studies, rather than juggling an additional job besides university or having to worry about paying back study loans.
Variety of Study Programmes
German universities offer an impressive range of
over 20,000 different study programmes as of 2021. Students can choose from classic courses like medicine, economics, and engineering or from pioneering options like Humanoid Robotics, Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology, and Biofabrication. But keep in mind that 97% of all undergraduate study programmes are taught in German, so it's a clear advantage to master the language to get an unlimited choice.
Countrywide Consistent Quality
It's important to know that all German universities have
consistently high education standards, no matter the size, place, or history, thus offering many great options. Even though many world-renowned universities, like LMU Munich and Humboldt University Berlin, are seated in major cities,
many top universities can be found in smaller towns, like Heidelberg University and University of Tübingen. Besides the same high education standards, studying in a less known town is often more affordable and offers quite a unique experience. Learn more about

Benefits of Abitur
With an
Abitur university entrance qualification,
our students don't have to compete for the limited study seats reserved for foreigners since they are considered as students with German citizenship (Bildungsinländer) for university enrolment. Our students also don't need the mandatory
Studienkolleg preparation year that universities in Germany required from holders of many other foreign high school degrees.
