STUDY IN GERMANY

 

ABOUT GERMANY

 

Germany has always played a dominant role in Europe, both politically and economically. Even in today's date, German economy single-handedly provides stability to the Euro zone. Considered to be the hub of engineering and technological knowledge and expertise as well as a robust centre of the literature, music and the arts, Germany continues to attract people from all over the world because of its well-constructed education system. One of the largest countries of Europe, Germany's impact on the continent as well as the global economy is huge, not just with regard to cutting-edge technology and research for the manufacturing sector but as an important global trading partner raising questions and providing solutions concerning social, political and economic issues. The education system has earned a reputation for producing talent across disciplines that is often in great demand in the international labour market.

The structural variation is largely to do with the emphasis on gaining real world exposure through internships and placements as part of the programme of study. Additionally, a large focus on R&D projects and substantial investment on a macroeconomic scale into Research and Development enables institutions to attract elite faculty and students to further the learning curve of Germany. It's the perfect blend between theoretical frameworks and practical exposure with strong academic standards adopted to incorporate the best of both elements. Moreover, while the rest of the world is discussing how to make quality education more readily available, Germans have made world-class learning affordable, accessible and available to the large majority of its domestic and international population. When you further read about the universities and colleges there and the kind of education they offer, you will understand why studying in Germany is one of the most attractive options. Today, more and more students are opting to study abroad in Germany.

 

EDUCATION SYSTEM

 

Before you can study at a German university, you first have to enrol. This procedure is called enrolment or registration. Once you’re formally enrolled, you may attend courses at your university, take examinations and finally receive an academic degree. Enrollment also allows you to access all facilities at the university, for example, the library, sports grounds and computer rooms.

You may enrol at your German university as soon as you receive your notification of admission from the International Office or the Foundation for Higher Education Admission (former ZVS). The notification also includes information concerning the enrolment period. Pleasenote that the enrolment period can be rather short and you have to show up in person in order to enrol at the university.

 

UNDERGRADUATE

Undergraduate studies were until recently the basic studies (Grundstudium) of a Diplom or Magister programme, generally taking four semesters (2 academic years) and finishing with an intermediate examination (Diplom-Vorprüfung, Zwischenprüfung). Students are then enabled to follow their studies in the second stage of Hauptstudium, taking another 4 semesters with the 5th being the preparatory semester for taking the final exams, the Diplomprüfung or the Magisterprüfung or State Exam (for Law and subjects for becoming a teacher). The new graduation system of the Bachelor as an undergraduate program instead of the basic studies program has already been introduced in Germany with the aim of achieving an internationally competitive degree and studying in a condensed, shortened time of 3 years.

 

GRADUATE

The advanced studies (Hauptstudium) form the second stage to the final examination, takes five semesters at least. The final exams still are the Diplom and Magister, but they are slowly replaced by the Master degree. The Magister study involves either two equally weighed major subjects or a mixture of one major and two minor subjects. According to the new graduation system, after having completed the Bachelor’s studies, a Master of Arts/Science is the successfully achieved title after two years of studying.
