Why?
To study at a university you normally need the Abitur, that is, the general higher education entrance qualification (allgemeine Hochschulreife). You take it at a Gymnasium (grammar school) or at other schools, even as an adult. A Diplom, on the other hand, is a university degree, the journeyman's examination completes vocational training in a craft, and Prokura is a power of attorney in a company.
