How and where to study in Germany?
Studying abroad offers students many advantages. Students gain cross-cultural competencies, excellent language skills in another language […] and can also qualify themselves with globally recognised certificates and international degrees.
How and where to study? Studying abroad can quickly cost 50,000 € or more ‘per year’. In Germany most universities only charge the so-called semester fee of about 200 – 500 €. This tiny-little fee includes reduced prices for social and cultural events, cinema,…, and also even the Semesterticket for public transport. With the Semester ticket you can quickly reach and visit cities like Dortmund, Essen, Dusseldorf and Cologne by train. Another good news is that most universities in Germany are state-universities, even the most prestigius universities in Germany.
After graduating with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Germany or in another country, international students can choose either starting a career in their home country or in one of many other countries worldwide. For example in international sales, partner management or as an engineer for global operating companies. Employers benefit from the high potential and the additional knowledge of international students.
