Explanation
To start a degree at a German university, you typically need the higher education entrance qualification (Allgemeine Hochschulreife), commonly called the Abitur. The other options refer to a university degree earned after studying, a commercial power of attorney, and a vocational qualification, respectively.
Tips
- Look for terms like Hochschulreife or bitur when the question is about beginning university studies.
- Eliminate options that describe qualifications obtained after university (e.g., a completed degree), business/legal authorities, or vocational training credentials.
- Pay attention to words like normalerweise (normally) indicating the standard requirement rather than special pathways or exceptions.
- Distinguish between university entrance qualifications and vocational/professional certifications.
