For international candidates German language knowledge is mandatory?
When trying to apply, it was only in German language. Could there be alternative ways of applying in English?

I am a foreign applicant and I don’t know how German language, yet the guidelines are saying applications are to be submitted in Germany language, this confuses me. What should I do if I don’t know the language yet the scholarship is calling for international applicants to study?
