16 points you need to know before deciding to study in Germany

16 points you need to know before deciding to study in Germany

  1. There are no ranking systems in place, to measure the universities
  2. The course you want to do is more important than the fame of the university
  3. No one will spoon feed you with respect to the subjects/labs that you should take to complete your course
  4. Most of the times, attendance are not taken in the class
  5. The Professors don’t care, if you attend the class or not
  6. The exams do not have a common pattern - meaning, XYZ subject can have the exam for 90 marks with a duration of 2 hours, whereas ABC subject can have the exam for 32 marks with a duration of 90 minutes.
  7. Other than the written exams, there can be oral exams, just projects where you need to give a presentation to get the marks
  8. You have the liberty to decide, which subject you want to study this semester and you can opt out of the examination even before 7 days of the exam date.
  9. Most of the times, you only have 2–3 attempts to clear/pass a subject - If you fail more than this, you will be thrown out of the course
  10. You definitely need to learn German language
  11. It is very common to pursue PhD after your Masters - If you have the interest towards the subject, you can easily opt for it
  12. Germany has lot of research institutes and they do pay well(depends on the stipend and institute)
  13. Do not worry about jobs while you apply to universities - because you really cannot do much, than applying for the right course.
  14. Job scenario is much different in Germany - Most of the companies put their job openings online and you may have to clear phone interviews and couple of face to face interviews
  15. The job interviews will not test your certificates, but the knowledge that you have gained via your internships, thesis, etc.,
  16. Once you graduate, you are eligible to avail 18 months of job search visa in which you can search for jobs across Europe.

Do not be selfish, share this piece of information with others also:

    sually university and private student halls are fully-furnished. If you’re applying for off-campus housing, however, you’ll need to check what furniture the property and rooms have, as it can vary.

FREE EDUCATION IN GERMANY!!

By Admin
Yes!! You heard it right, doing Masters in Germany is mostly free of cost. It is not fully free of cost, but comparatively it is very less than doing Bachelors in most of the countries. As a student, you many have to pay around 300 euros per semester.   In the recent years, Germany has made its education, free of cost. You may ask, how does Germany manage to provide free education, it is very simple. In Germany the people agree to pay high taxes, which they get back as very good services from the government. And moreover, Germany has a lower percentage of students opting for college, contrary to countries like America or India. In fact, from long back, there had been no tuition fees in Germany, but there are still some universities collecting a small amount of fees as a process to speed up the process of completing the degree.  WHY GERMANY? To your surprise, there are other countries like Denmark, Finland, Sweden and some Northern European countries, who provide ...

Types of student jobs (academic) in Germany | HiWi - Praktikant - Werk Student

By Admin
If you're planning to study or already studying in Germany then you need to know the different student positions that are available in Germany. Please note that these are not the usual part-time jobs that you do on the weekends for some extra cash, these are the positions were you be a part of some larger project and help the Professors or your superiors with their research or project.

How to get an admit in German university?

By Admin
A happy new year to all my readers, who are following and reading this blog. This is my first article of this year. I was off for quite a while and there have been a lot of enquiries and requests from many aspirants regarding how to get an admit? What are the proper steps or ways to follow. Let me give you an example and explain. Please do note that, there is no hard and fast rule that everyone needs to follow these steps and I do not guarantee anything. The below points are from my experience and observations. Let’s take an example of Raghu, who is currently at 5th semester of his Bachelor’s studies and he is aspiring to pursue his Masters from Germany. So, I would suggest him to first find out his niche and passion. Completing a Masters is a herculean task and there is no point for Raghu to pursue Masters in Artificial Intelligence, when he has a passion for Thermodynamics. First step for Raghu is to find his interest and then do other things. Also Raghu needs to start learning ‘...

We, at GermanyUnofficial  get a lot of requests from candidates, asking for the list of courses that are available for each domain. Before we move into the list, please LIKE our Facebook page to get constant updates Some advice on what, how and when to do: Since there are no rankings in Germany, this list is compiled without any order/rankings. We do not believe in the format of applying for 7 universities - 2(Dream) + 2(Mediocre) + 3(Easy). We suggest everyone to apply to ALL the courses that they seem fit for their profile and aspirations. Many candidates think that, if one studies in TUs then he/she will get only into research field - which is completely false. There are many students, who studied in TUs and get into companies.

Which country is better? Germany VS Singapore | Masters studies | MS course

By Admin
Germany VS Singapore Deciding a path to choose, when you have lot of options in hand is very difficult. When you are applying for Masters studies, there would be a lot of confusion in terms of which country to apply for and there was a question in Quora regarding Germany VS Singapore. Trust me, even I was in the same dilemma when I wanted to pursue my Masters course. Let me throw some light on the analysis that I had done, based on my experience in Germany(Masters studies) and my observations from my friends who are studying in Singapore. Climate:   Are you a person who likes Winters to be cold(around 0 degree Celsius)? Are you a person who likes to just have 2 months of Summer? If you’re from a tropical country, then there is high possibility that you will not like Germany’s climate, but on the other hand Singapore has similar tropical conditions, which makes it easier to adapt.  Winner:  Singapore Course duration:  Most of the courses...
