The DAAD, the Fulbright Commission, and other organizations sometimes require a personal interview. Occasionally, your home university will want to interview you.
Some programs also require a written essay.
If you are invited to a personal interview, you should be prepared to answer questions not only about your field of study, but also about political, historical, cultural, and current events questions concerning the host country. You will also probably be asked about your plans and reasons for studying abroad. Depending upon the host country, application forms in either French or English can be picked up at the International Office. D-49069 Osnabr ck, Tel.
