Greetings 👋
My name is Alexander, I am your personal manager. Let me help you!

Recently, our team was asked a question: “My husband and I are German citizens. We live in Denmark, our son is a German citizen. Is a certificate from a German school suitable for the University of Bristol?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
14.07.2025 12:47:15 The University of Bristol, like many universities in the UK, typically recognizes a range of international qualifications for undergraduate admissions. If your son has a certificate from a German school, such as the Abitur, it is likely to be recognized by the University of Bristol as it is considered equivalent to UK A-levels. However, specific entry requirements can vary depending on the course he wishes to apply for. It's important to check the university's official website or contact their admissions office directly for detailed information about the entry requirements for his chosen program. They will be able to provide guidance on whether his qualifications meet their criteria and if any additional documentation or assessments are needed. Additionally, if English is not your son's first language, he may need to demonstrate proficiency in English through standardized tests such as IELTS or TOEFL unless he has completed his education in an English-speaking environment.
19.07.2025 17:50:17 Yes, a certificate from a German school (such as Abitur) is generally acceptable for admission to the University of Bristol, provided it meets the academic entry requirements. You may need to confirm its equivalency to UK A-levels—either directly with the university or through an official UK qualification recognition service like Ecctis. Proof of English language proficiency (e.g., IELTS) is usually required. Once accepted, the university will issue a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies), which is necessary for the UK Student Visa. You can apply online from Denmark. Visa processing typically takes up to 4 weeks.
20.07.2025 20:56:04 Yes, a certificate from a German school (such as Abitur) is generally accepted for entry into the University of Bristol if it meets the academic entry requirements. It is advisable to check equivalency through the university’s admissions team or Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC). For a Student Visa, your son will need a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies), proof of English proficiency (e.g. IELTS), evidence of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses, a valid passport, and a completed visa application. The visa can be applied for from Denmark, and the standard processing time is 3–4 weeks. Legal assistance is recommended to ensure accuracy in documentation.
