Heavily depends on the course you want to apply to
Accounting and taxation
Uh accountants often come with an Ausbildung instead of university degrees, but you should find related subjects to study here

Then you'll check the university websites of the relevant programs for their entry requirements
Thanks mate
Just because there are different account ing and tax system between Germany and other countries
applying for a ausbildung is not over-qualified?
What does different countries tax system have to do with being overqualified for an Ausbildung?
Regardless I would say you're never overqualified for an Ausbildung. You learn practical skills there, most of which you'd not learn in university. Ausbildung is an easy way to switch job even when you're 40 already. Ausbildung doesn't have any hard specific requirements (eg needing perfect grades to study medicine, while being a nurse doesn't even need a school leaving certificate)
Are you saying if I do Ausbildung related to Accounting I will have more chances getting admitted Uncle?
I heard master degree is way better then Ausbildung? Unc
Well, you can have people say you're overqualified for all sorts of things, whether or not it makes sense. In my experience, this argument rarely has much to do with real qualifications, but rather with the perceived status of the qualifications you already have and whether the person talking considers your choice a 'downgrade', which is - and I can't stress this enough - highly subjective.
Depends on what you want to do. I'm not in that field myself, but generally speaking, Ausbildung is more practical and hands-on, Bachelor is more theoretical, and Master builds on top of Bachelor. The pace during your learning phase will be quite different, and Ausbildung usually takes ~3 years, while Bachelor+Master takes ~5years. In both cases you will be expected to have totally different tasks and responsibilities. Which suits you more depends on your preferences and personality.
Thanks for Ur input mate
I already have a master degree in my home country accounting and audit but unfortunately my grades are not going to help me in the procedure of me getting an admission from a public German university. That’s why my first question was if I learn German language to a B2 . Will that increase my chances to get in the university?
There’s some sort of hesitation going on inside my head. It’s like fear of achieving a B2 but just for nothing.
Learning B2 definitely will not be in vain, even if the uni might not require it (but I'm very confident they will require at least B2 anyway - almost all unis do).
It will not be in vain because you want to work after you get your degree, and I assume you want to do that in Germany - since tax laws are very dependent on the country and the skills might not be that transferrable. And most of your co-workers and/or clients would be more familiar with German than with English. At an event I talked to a former professor of a nearby university-of-applied-sciences which (in English) teaches international law. He was very unhappy because he wanted to hire graduates, but almost none of them were any good with the German language and he needed them to work together with his clients - many of whom didn't know any English.
So learning German will most definitely at least help your employment chances.
And if you're working in law and related fields (which I would consider taxation to be), the exact words can be very important, so the better the German skills, the better, probably.
