What documents and grades do you need to study in Germany?
A German bachelor needs an HZB — a recognised higher education entrance qualification. An Uzbek 11-year attestat usually is not one on its own: anabin and the DAAD database normally ask for a Studienkolleg or one to two completed years at an Uzbek university. German-taught programmes ask for DSH-2 or TestDaF 4x4; English-taught ones usually IELTS 6.0–6.5. Documents mostly go through uni-assist, and the visa needs a blocked account of €11,904.
Foundation year
If your school certificate is not recognised as a German higher education entrance qualification (HZB), you start at a Studienkolleg: two semesters of preparation ending in the Feststellungsprüfung, which then counts as your HZB. Admission normally asks for German at B1–B2, and the course itself takes you towards C1. The visa needs a blocked account of roughly €11,904 a year (€992 a month) and health insurance.
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
Studienkolleg
This is the main route for an 11-year attestat. The alternative is one or two completed years at an Uzbek university and then a direct application — anabin and the DAAD database decide which applies.
Documents
School certificate
The Uzbek school-leaving certificate with its grade supplement, as a certified copy.
Certified translation
uni-assist requires certified translations of every certificate that is not in German or English, made by a sworn translator.
Academic transcript
The subject-by-subject record behind the certificate; uni-assist calculates the German grade from it.
Passport
A passport still valid for at least another year, plus one copy, as the German Embassy Tashkent's national-visa document list states.
Financial statement
Not compared by a personFinancing has to be secured before the visa: a blocked account, a declaration of support (Verpflichtungserklärung) or a recognised scholarship. The Federal Foreign Office sets the blocked-account sum at the maximum BAföG support rate — €992 per month, €11,904 for a year — and refers applicants to the competent mission for the figure in force. The German Embassy Tashkent does not publish it on its national-visa page, so confirm the amount with the embassy before you transfer anything.

Tests
Teaching is in German
Studienkollegs teach in German, so admission asks for a good command of the language at CEFR B1–B2; the course itself teaches up to C1.

Other requirements
A school certificate that anabin and the DAAD admission database do not accept as a direct HZB
If your secondary-school certificate is deemed insufficient for study in Germany, you attend a Studienkolleg before you may enrol.
Pass the Feststellungsprüfung at the end of the two semesters
The assessment test is what turns the Studienkolleg into an entrance qualification, and it qualifies you for the subjects of your Studienkolleg course only.
Apply through uni-assist or the Studienkolleg itself, depending on the state
Not compared by a personuni-assist handles Studienkolleg applications for many but not all federal states.
Health insurance valid in Germany
Until German statutory insurance can take over, the Embassy in Tashkent asks for private German incoming cover valid across the Schengen area with a minimum sum insured of €30,000. Proof of insurance is a condition of enrolment, not only of the visa.

Bachelor’s
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
Studienkolleg
Direct entry on an 11-year attestat is normally not possible: first a Studienkolleg and the Feststellungsprüfung, or one to two completed years at an Uzbek university. anabin and the DAAD database give the exact answer.
Documents
School certificate
Certified copy of the school-leaving certificate; uni-assist states which certificates it wants and in what form.
Certified translation
uni-assist requires certified translations of every certificate that is not in German or English, made by a sworn translator.

Tests
Any one of these is enough
IELTS 6
Typical entry score for an English-taught bachelor. Programme pages differ.
TOEFL iBT 80
Typical English-taught equivalent of IELTS 6.0–6.5.
Teaching is in German: DSH (German) 2
German-taught programmes normally ask for DSH-2 or the equivalent. Confirm on the programme page — this is common practice, not a figure this template read off an official page.
Teaching is in German: TestDaF (German) 4
TestDaF with TDN 4 in all four parts is the usual alternative to DSH-2.

Minimum grades and years of school
12 years of school
German recognition practice compares an Uzbek 11-year attestat against a 12–13-year Abitur, which is why it is normally topped up rather than accepted alone. The exact answer for your certificate is the DAAD database’s, not this template’s.
4 on the Uzbek 5-point scale
An indicative attestat average. uni-assist converts your marks to a German grade (1.0 best, 4.0 pass) and each programme sets its own cut-off, often by numerus clausus.

Other requirements
A recognised higher education entrance qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung)
Either a school certificate anabin accepts directly, or a Feststellungsprüfung, or the years of university study the DAAD database asks for.
Health insurance valid in Germany for the whole of the studies
Until German statutory insurance can take over, the Embassy in Tashkent asks for private German incoming cover valid across the Schengen area with a minimum sum insured of €30,000. Proof of insurance is a condition of enrolment, not only of the visa.

Master’s
A German master takes a completed bachelor degree directly — no Studienkolleg. Documents usually go through uni-assist: diploma, transcript, certified translations, a language certificate, a CV and a motivation letter. English-taught programmes typically ask for IELTS 6.5, German-taught ones for DSH-2 or TestDaF 4x4. The visa needs the €11,904 proof of financing and insurance.
