Outstanding Academic Standards The world-renowned of German Universities long back to the 14th Century and promise an outstanding level of education and research. Germany offers the best and the most cost effective study options for aspiring international students. Most of the universities are state-funded, so most of them charge no tuition fee from students. Students only need to bear their living expenses, such as accommodation, food, health insurance and transport. International Exposure German Events and Celebrations The best way of dealing with money is through the use of traveler’s cheques. You can go changing these as you need money. If possible, leave all valuable items (jewellery, traveler’s cheques, credit cards, airplane tickets, etc) in a hotel safe or security box at the place you are staying. Another option is finding businesses that offer safety deposit boxes and security services. Working while you study in Germany Earning money alongside studying is a way of life for many students in Germany. Students from the European Union and the EEA stand practically on equal terms with German students and have free access to the German job market. However, for students who do not come from the EU or EEA countries, work is restricted; you are only allowed to work 90 full or 180 half days in a year. To do this you do not need authorization from the Employment Agency, i.e. the German authorities. WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR A DEGREE PROGRAM IN A GERMAN UNIVERSITY? HOW DO I GET ADMITTED TO ANY UNIVERSITY IN GERMANY? IF I AM NOT GERMAN, CAN I APPLY FOR THOSE MASTER’S PROGRAMS WHICH ARE NOT LISTED IN INTERNATIONALS?
Generally, there are two different kinds of educational systems existing in Germany that are as follows:-
1-General Education
2-Vocational Education (or dual education)
A valid passport, to provide documental proof of financial means to cover the expenses for your entire period of study in Germany, and to have either university admission or at least a confirmation of your status as an applicant.
In order to receive your visa for Germany in right time, international students must submit their application with all associated documents at least couple of months before they plan the trip to Germany.
Attracted by international study programmes, excellent research opportunities and low tuition fee more than 2, 50,000 international students come to there to study. Study in Germany also gives you a wider exposure and experience of being an part of highly qualified academic community.
Plenty of Internships Germany is the only country in the World where completion of study programs in Universities is normally followed by paid internships in top MNCs that ultimately lead to full-time placement. The close ties with leading companies such as Daimler-Chrysler, SAP, Siemens, BMW or Bosch will increase your career prospects.
Some special features
Students are allowed to stay for one year after the completion of the study program. Your work permit could be further extended by that employer. Country’s strong economic position has also led to the use of German as the preferred language of commerce in a number of Eastern European countries. Learning German language will open the doors to various cultural centers of Europe: Berlin, Vienna, Geneva, Zurich, Frankfurt and Munich. Permanent Residency permission within 5 years of working full-time in Germany. German Immigration option is also valid for international students.

Germany is probably the country with the most festivals in Europe; almost all towns and villages, big or small. The most famous German festival is undoubtedly the legendary Oktoberfest from Munich, but Carnival and the Christmas holidays are among the most highly regarded in Germany. There are also a large number of music festivals, from opera to open-air jazz and rock concerts.
Health in Germany
The medical care service in Germany is extremely good and has excellent facilities and medical professionals. For more comfort and safety, private clinics are an alternative option, however, a rather more costly one. The best thing to do in this case is take out health insurance, which will allow students to benefit from medical services free of charge in most cases. Every student should join a health plan. It is actually a prerequisite in order to sign up at a German university. If the applicant has a similar health plan in his or her home country, it may be acknowledged in Germany. Evidence of membership to a health plan is obtained through the E109 or E111 form, which is issued in the home country and is acknowledged by other health insurance organizations which also issue an insurance certificate. If students are unable to come by adequate health insurance, they must join a health insurance plan in Germany. The only exceptions to this rule include Studienkolleg students, those taking part in a language course for German as a foreign language (DAF) and students over the age of 30 years, who are not covered by such a plan, nor are these rules applicable to them.
Safety in Germany
Violent crime is rare in Germany, although incidents may occur, especially in high risk areas in large cities as well as in and around train stations. For a quiet, trouble free stay it may be a good idea to follow some basic rules:
Don’t leave luggage in an unwatched car. Take out a traveler’s insurance policy to cover any losses from robbery or misplacement.
All overseas students have the possibility of working during their university studies in Germany.
Overseas students who come to Germany on a student visa may work for 90 whole days or 180 half-days per year, even during the language course preparing for university studies. This is equivalent to
approximately 20 hours per week.
After successful completion of your full-time university studies in Germany, you are, as an overseas academic, entitled to remain in Germany for one year after graduation in order to look for regular employment in a German company.
Furthermore, after three years it is possible to apply for a long-term residence permit if the employer
specifically advocates the same and the employee is also in agreement.
IT DEPENDS ON THE COUNTRY WHERE YOU OBTAINED YOUR SCHOOL-LEAVING DIPLOMA. FOR SOME COUNTRIES IT IS ENOUGH TO HAVE A SCHOOL LEAVING DIPLOMA TO START STUDYING DIRECTLY IN GERMANY. FOR SOME COUNTRIES YOU NEED TO JOIN THE « STUDIENKOLLEG » BEFORE YOU CAN STARTING STUDYING IN GERMANY.

KNOWLEDGE IS ENOUGH TO STUDY MATHEMATICS.

PROGRAMS. AS FAR AS I KNOW YOU CAN APPLY FOR EVERY STUDY PROGRAM OFFERED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
