Hi,

Normally you have to get your degree verified or equalized from German authorities. Link is already provided by Detlef. But as per my experience, it is very difficult to get this Annerkennung done especilly for doctors who can prescribe medicine or perfrom surgery, two main reason :

1. You need to have an excellent command over German including the whole vocabulary for German medical words which means investment of huge time or doing everything again.
2. The legal rules are totally different.

Not trying to demotivate you, but to work as a medical doctor in Germany is a remote possiblity.
Nursing or Physiotherapist Annerkennung is realtively easier but can as well take same time.

Best regards

Hello Friend,

@purohit...is absolutely right..... You can forget practising as a doctor in Germany. Its too complicated. I know it very well. Verification and acceptance of a degree is another thing..... Its just on paper but in reality after verification it depends on every university whether to consider your degree and equivalent to german degree or less..... assigning credit points.... And then they suggest you to take up extra studies in German and then appear for some examination, clear it and then may be there is a possibility to practice as a doctor.... Although all these laws are drafted but they are just to create an impression and attract foreigners but in reality its not at all easy...One can forget.... Only if you are a engineer or in any techincal line then you can have scope here otherwise its complicated. Further langauge is a must. Moreover medical or legal profession in germany is a regulated profession so you cannot practice without clearing the state exam in german langauge...... So forget it..... I had applied at all the univeristy in north westfalen and even did got degrees verified but finally they tell you take this course or that course in german and then clear exam and then proceed to practice.... Which is not at all easy ....Further for non-european students education is not free or cheap in europe...Its very expensive......

Its not that i am demotivating you but just sharing my experience. I had the best of degrees and best of academic marks with high score but here its of no use....German language must ....and obtaining qualification in german language at german univerisity is also required.... So think before you take a decision....

Good luck
