WHY STUDY IN GERMANY?
The German university system is one of the oldest in the world and has set the standard for higher education in many countries.
World's 3rd largest economy, Germany is second to none in exports and R&D.
Excellent Academic Standard The world-renowned tradition of German Universities dates back to the 14th century and ensures an outstanding level of education and research. Products of German companies, especially machine tools, motor vehicles and electrical engineering products are leading in the international market.
Huge demand for Engineers and IT professionals especially in Germany. Hence, assured placements in Germany after Master’s program.
Starting annual salary Euro 40,000 (Approx Rs. 27 Lacs).
Universities are state-funded, therefore, mostly no tuition fee is charged. You only need to bear for your living expenses, such as accommodation, food, transport and health insurance.
International exposure Attracted by international study programmes and excellent research opportunities, each year more than 2, 50,000 international students (12 % of all the students at German universities) come to Study in Germany and for research.
Internships Germany is arguably the only country in the World where completion of study programs in Universities is smoothly followed by paid internship in top MNCs that eventually lead to full-time placement. Close ties with companies like Daimler-Chrysler, SAP, Siemens, BMW, Bosch and several others will increase your career prospects.
After completion of their study programs, students are allowed to stay on for 1 year and look for work.
The cost of living in Germany is cheapest in Europe i.e. approx. Euro 600 per month.
German Immigration option also opens since Jan 2005.
Hassle-free minimum documentation visa process and generally minimal financial documents required.
The tuition fee for most programs is FREE/only Euro 650 per semester (approx. Rs. 40,000). Duration of Bachelor and Master programs are usually 3 and 2 years respectively.
1. What is the application process for Germany?
Each and every student applicant from abroad must apply for admission to studies. This goes for first-year students and undergraduates as much as it does for graduate students or even doctoral students. You cannot study in Germany without a letter of admission. The admissions process requires you to meet the necessary requirements for your desired degree programs. This includes the proof that you are adequately proficient in the German language, your school-leaving certificate or any academic achievements already gained in the home country. These must be recognized as equivalent to the respective German qualifications. However, it is also possible – depending on the university and degree program – that you may be required to meet further admission conditions. So contact your chosen university as early as possible (we would advise at least one year before the studies are scheduled to begin) to find out the requirements you may have to meet and the documents required. Contact the staff of the International Offices or Student Advice Offices for information and advice.
2. How much does the Germany education cost?
At some universities you don't need to pay tuition fees. While some charge around 500 Euros per semester. Whether you have to pay fees or not depends entirely on the federal state and at the university you are studying. Costs that you will certainly have to pay each semester are the semester contribution and the health insurance premiums (around 280 Euros). The semester contributions are due when you register (matriculate) at the university and then each semester when your re-register at the Student Office. Depending on university and federal state, these can amount to between 50 and 250 Euros. At some universities, this sum includes a Semester ticket. This allows you to use local public transport in and around your university town without any extra costs.
3. What academic degrees do German universities offer?
You can gain the following academic degrees at most of Germany's universities: Bachelor’s, Master’s, Diploma, Staatsexamen, Magister or a doctorate. All German universities meanwhile offer the regular international degrees: Bachelor's and Master's. The plans even aim to completely replace the traditional German degrees "Diploma" and "Magister" with these new ones by 2010. Until then, it will still be possible to gain a "Diploma" or "Magister" at many universities. Please contact the International Office or Student Advice Office at your university direct to find out which degrees the university currently offers.
4. How can I find a place to live in Germany?
The first point of contact when looking for a flat or a room is the Student Services organization at your university. Student Services operate their own halls of residence that offer value-for-money accommodation for students. They also maintain a file with the addresses of private landlords and landladies. They additionally offer a particularly interesting service for international students: Many Student Services sell Service Sets for foreign students. These sets can be booked via the Internet before you come to Germany. In general, a Service Set will include accommodation, meals and health insurance. This guarantees that you have a place to live when you arrive in Germany.
5. How are the living expenses in Germany?
An international student, besides the education expenses, will have to meet the monthly living expenses. This expense can be around 630 Euros on average. One third of this is spent on house rent. This differs according to the place where you live
6. Can I work while am studying?
Earning money and studying at the same time is a part of everyday reality for many students in Germany. However, international students who do not come from EU or EEA countries are only allowed to work to a limited extent in Germany. In addition, they generally need the approval of the Employment Agency before they can take up a job.
7. Are Scholarships available?
There are many organizations in Germany that award scholarships and grants to international students. For example, the DAAD specifically funds advanced students, graduates and postgraduates, i.e. doctoral students. Besides public funding organizations, there are also many private initiatives offered by business and industry, media and politics that are committed to supporting young international academics and researchers.
8. Can I stay in Germany after completing my studies?
The new Immigration Act has been in force in Germany since 1 January 2005. It aims to enable highly-qualified people from abroad to enter the German employment market more easily and to offer them longer-term prospects. For international students who have completed their studies in Germany, i.e. graduated, as per the act, after ending their studies, they can extend their stay and spend up to one year looking for a job in Germany that is appropriate to the qualifications. Highly-qualified foreigners, who have a job offer in Germany, can receive a (permanent) Settlement Permit without the need for any labor market checks or the approval of the Federal Employment Agency.
9. Language:
Even Native Speakers stumble
The genders (masculine, feminine and neutral) seem to follow a whimsical logic of their own. The woman (das Weib) has a neutral gender, while the thing (die Sache) is feminine. And why for heaven’s sake does a brassiere have a masculine gender? These rules of grammar are definitely not easy to understand. But in this country of thinkers and poets, even a native speaker stumbles when it comes to deciding between writing capital or small letters or deliberating the finer points of grammar such as the conjunctive. The bitterly controversial German orthographic reform has only led to further muddles. Even placing commas has become a writer’s nightmare and the unrestrained tendency to nominalise, a fond speciality of the German language, results in monstrously long words such as “Betäubungsmittlelverordnungsänderungsgesetz”. (No attempts at translating that one!) That’s the German language for you – not always beautiful, but definitely exact.
Internet Language:
But, the German language lives on and nonchalantly helps itself to words from the English one. What you get is “Denglisch”, considered by many as modern and hip. “Coole Kids surfen durch das Internet”, everyone understands that. After all the internet has fundamentally changed the language of Generation @ in Germany too. “Browser”, “Provider”, “Server”, “Update” – language purists can wrinkle up their noses at that: Like most other languages, German absorbs Internet jargon as soon as it is coined. But sometimes the beautiful new world of technology also leads to strange language formulations: Instead of a mobile telephone, the Germans refer to it as a “Handy”, though the word doesn’t exist in the English language. But you can still live with that. Sometimes things can become much worse. Would you like a little sample? Here goes: Germany’s most famous fashion designer, Jil Sander was said to have remarked recently: “ Mein Leben ist eine giving-story. Für den Erfolg entscheidend war mein coordinated concept. Die audience hat das alles supported”. Loosely translated: “My life is a giving-story. What was decisive for success was my coordinated concept. The audience supported all that.” How horrific!
