FAQ

Do I need to apply at both Universitys?

No, you only need to apply at MBS for the Gateway Program - India. Your personal interview will also only be with a representative of MBS. After you get accepted, you will receive your offer from Amity University and a conditional offer from MBS.

Is the Gateway Program longer than the regular Bachelor Program at MBS?

Yes, because you will complete a foundation year at Amity University, before you start into the full Bachelor program at MBS. Only that way you can receive guaranteed admission to MBS upon successful completion and get local visa and academic support provided by Amity.

Can I study the Bachelor at MBS without the Gateway Program als an indian citizen?

This is most likely not possible, because you lack the needed Admission Requirements to study in Germany without the Gateway Program. Exceptions to this rule are graduates of the International Baccalaureate (IB) and graduates of international schools, who are generally granted direct access to a BA program in Germany.

What do I need to do after I receive my offers from MBS & Amity?

After you receive your offer from Amity University and a conditional offer from MBS, you need to sign the documents and send them back. Additionally, you should pay the security deposits for both institutions.

Please don't forget to pay the EUR 60 application fee in the application process, otherwise your interview can not be scheduled and your not gonna get offers from both institutions!

Can I also study a Master at MBS, after completing the Gateway Program?

Yes, if you complete the Gateway Program successfully and receive your Bachelor degree from MBS, you can apply directly for any of the Master programs at MBS. You can also stay in Germany to find a job (EU Blue Card).
