The Siebel Institute of Technology and World Brewing Academy encourages students from around the world to participate in our courses and programs. We are happy to assist in facilitating your studies at our campuses in the USA and Germany, and we look forward to making your time with us as enjoyable and educational as possible.
As our campus-based courses are conducted in English, including content that is frequently quite technical and complex, students whose native language is not English may be required to demonstrate adequate English proficiency at the time their application is submitted.
When a foreign student's application for admission into a program, module or course of 18 clock hours or more is accepted, the student will be enrolled in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). An additional fee (SEVIS I-901 fee) will apply and is to be paid online to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Paying the SEVIS fee is very important as without this fee a foreign student will not be eligible to apply for the mandatory M-1 Student Visa. The Siebel Institute Office of the Registrar will provide foreign students with the I-20 Form to present to the consular officer at the time of the visa interview.
For further information on SEVIS, process steps and fees, please:
Generally, a student of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a student visa to study in the United States for programs/courses exceeding 18 clock hours. U.S. federal regulations do not permit to travel on the Visa Waiver Program or Visitor Visas for the purpose of professional studies.
As a SEVP (U.S. Department of Homeland Security) certified vocational school, all foreign students have to apply for a M-1 Student Visa prior to entering/traveling the United States to begin their studies at the Siebel Institute.
It is the foreign student's responsibility to comply with all regulations and pay the necessary fees that include but are not limited to a non-refundable visa application fee.
