Why study abroad in Germany

Hi guys, in the previous post you already saw what are the differences between how you, study in India and how you are going to study in Germany.

 If you haven't checked this post yet, please check it out. Now till the end of this post, you will already feel a bit more secure about the decision, you are going to make for Germany.

What I emphasize is that when you are deciding about the University, the location or the, ranking shouldn't be the major concern at all because in Germany, all of the Universities, are well-connected to the towns and second, here nobody cares about the ranking at all.

Job Opportunity

WHY? They just care about the grades. You should have good grades; you should have good knowledge. That's it. If you have that, you will definitely get a job here. Of course, you have to be fluent in German!

Well let's talk about this topic later. Today, let's just focus ourselves towards the Universities. Now look guys, there definitely is a difference between the Universities of Applied Sciences, and the Technical Universities.

The Technical Universities will teach you stuff more theoretically, but the Universities of Applied Sciences will touch you stuff more practically, so that, when you are done with your Masters, you will already be ready for the industries.

So now, let's talk about the first deciding factor for sorting out a university., Something for which we Indians are known for. The Money. Germany is famous for the fact that for Masters, you have to pay no tuition fee at all.

Alright, no tuition fee, but you still have to pay a Semester Contribution of 300 Euros, per Semester which gives you your Semester ticket and allows you to freely use public, transport in an approximate radius of 50 kilometers from the University. The semester contribution can also vary from University to University.

Living cost

The living cost which again range from one neighborhood of the city to the other can, go from 300 to 500 Euros per month., Now let's see the international courses., If you are a person who can afford to do Advanced Masters of Urban Development or Advanced, Master's in Water Engineering, then by all means.

Tuition Fees

Hire an agent., You don't have to put effort in going through these videos., Most of us students generally have less budget, so rather look for the courses with now or, less tuition fees., These courses are still pretty solid., Now let's have a look at the language.

Requirement

Language also plays an important role for you to decide, if you want to do your Masters, in English or in German. If you already spent time learning German and already have a B2 level, you can apply, directly to the German-speaking programs after clearing the TestDaF with 16 points.

I myself got 17 points in TestDaF and hence, could start my Master's in a German taught, course., For English, you have to take the TOEFL or IELTS and for the German taught Master's, you either have to have a C2 Goethe Zertifikat or clear the TestDaF with more than 16 points., In some cases, it can even be less. But like I said in the previous post, language is still an important investment that will, definitely pay off in the end.

Eligibility Criteria

The Eligibility Criteria are also important. There are also institutes like RWTH Aachen or TU München, where the Indian candidates, and candidates from some other countries have to give the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, but don't get discouraged yet because they actually don't know what kind of number in, that test is great or bad.

They rank the candidates on the basis of the type of applications they get., If they get applications where people couldn't even clear the GATE, but you could, then you, are in luck!

How to get Visa

My final advice would be to apply to as many Universities as you can if your grades are, not that great., A Grade Point of 8-9 is considered very good, and you will have no problem in applying to, the University., But we all know the struggle of getting that kind of grades in India.

It's really no joke. Well, if you like this post, please don't forget to share it with your friends or on, your Facebook Timeline and please bookmark. I hope this post helped you., In the next post, let's see how you can still get admission to university, even if you got, a rejection letter in the starting.
