What school-leaving qualification is normally needed to begin studying at a university in Germany?

Why — for every option

  1. A — Correct: the Abitur (general higher education entrance qualification) is the classic school-leaving qualification that entitles someone to study at a university.
  2. B — A Diplom is an academic degree obtained only after completing a course of study — not a prerequisite for starting one.
  3. C — Prokura is a commercial power of attorney, not a school qualification.
  4. D — A journeyman's examination completes vocational training in a trade but does not generally directly entitle someone to university study.
