Does your qualification give access to German universities?
The Omani General Education Diploma is assessed individually against German rules; depending on your results and subjects, the route may be a Studienkolleg or prior university study. Check the DAAD admission database.
Admission is based on the certificate you hold, not the country you live in. British A-levels, the IB Diploma, American high school diplomas, Indian CBSE/ISC and Pakistani certificates are each assessed under their own German rules. The IB Diploma and A-levels can give direct access when the subject combination meets German conditions; an American diploma usually needs additional proof such as AP exams, SAT scores or completed college study.

Applied sciences
