With its ~400 Universities and about 20.000 programs of renowned quality (free) education, rich culture, and art, it\u2019s a very popular destination for international students looking for excellence. After deciding to come and study in Germany, here are some steps you should take to make the transition stress-free.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Planning and Preparation\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><b>Decide on University and programs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; German Universities are held in very high regard because of the quality of education, but also no tuition fees for public universities. Inform yourself about what Universities and programs you might be interested in, and contact them if you need any additional information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Planning expenses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; As soon as you decide on the University, calculate the tuition cost (free like in most public universities or paid like in private ones), find out the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.numbeo.com\/cost-of-living\/country_result.jsp?country=Germany\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cost of living<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in that particular city, and opt for one of the mandatory <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/welcome-center-germany.com\/health-insurance-in-germany-private-and-public-options\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">health insurance Germany<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> options. In case you need a student visa, you should provide a proof of approximately $10.000 available funds in your bank account, for supporting your living expenses during the studies. So, make approximate calculations and plan your future spending.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Study program Application<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><b>Meeting the Requirements<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Before you apply, there are certain requirements that you need to fulfill so your application would be accepted. First, you should find out if your qualifications would be recognized by your chosen University, which means that you need a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University Entrance Qualification<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (\u201cHochschulzugangsberechtigung\u201d), a certificate that proves that you completed your previous studies. If they\u2019re not recognized in Germany, you\u2019ll then need to attend a year-long preparation course (\u201cStudienkolleg\u201d) first. Also, you should have a certificate that proves your proficiency in a language you\u2019ll be studying in (German and\/or English).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Application<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; After you\u2019ve met the requirements, start gathering all the documents you\u2019ll need. Every University will have its own requirements for applying, but what that usually is, officially certified and translated:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Copies of your previous higher education certificates<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Copy of the course subjects and grades (translated)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Application form (completed)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Passport photograph(s)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Copy of your passport (name and photo)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Language certificate copies \u2013 German and\/or English<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Application fee<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to check the deadlines because they vary between Universities and even between programs at the same University.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Preparing to go to Germany<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><b>German Study Visa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; After you get the answer from the university that you\u2019re accepted in, usually 2 months after the closing of the application deadline, it\u2019s time to think about a Visa. You\u2019ll need to know if your country is on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schengenvisainfo.com\/germany-visa\/student-visa\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of those that need the visa or, not and what type of visa it is. So, if you do need a visa, you should hurry and apply for it on time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Learning useful\u00a0 things<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><b>German language<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; If you don\u2019t speak German, there are plenty of courses in English to choose from, and a lot of your fellow students there probably can speak English. Having no basic knowledge of the German language, can be very limiting in a day to day life. From having to deal with government and bureaucracy to shopping in stores and going to a hairdresser, these are all situations that can be difficult and stressful for a non-German-speaking person. That\u2019s why you should learn as much as you can while in Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Public transportation and driving<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; When you\u2019re enrolling at your University, whether it charges a fee or not (Private or Public Uni), you will pay for a \u201cSemester contribution\u201d, which covers some university administration costs, such as a public transport fee, and you\u2019ll get your public transport ID.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than using public transport you can drive a bicycle (highly recommended) because lanes for bicycles are clearly marked everywhere, and it\u2019s easy to navigate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Safety and asking for help<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Germany is considered a very <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Global_Peace_Index#Global_Peace_Index_rankings_(2008%E2%80%932020)\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">safe country<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but you should always have your basics covered. Like knowing important numbers: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Police<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; <\/span><b>110<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambulance and Firefighters<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; <\/span><b>112<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and take precautions when traveling (pickpocketing), taking money from ATM, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that studying is not the only thing you have memories from your time spent in Germany. Socialize with your fellow students, and make use of the Integration courses. Seize this opportunity to learn a new language. Also, enjoy the wonderful culture, traditions, and art that Germany is known for. Another great thing is that if you have a student visa (and residence permit), you can travel all over Europe and visit all the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schengen area<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> countries you want to see, and enjoy. The time spent being a student in Germany will certainly leave a beautiful lasting memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to do before you travel to Germany<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Find your accommodation before you arrive in Germany. The cheapest option would be Student halls, but there are so many students and not enough space for everyone. Another option is sharing apartments and the most expensive option &#8211; living alone. You should also arrange for your transportation and buy a ticket, and make financial preparations (close bank account if it cannot be used from Germany, and gather info on German bank options)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Departure preparations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Pack your things and documents, go visit a doctor, download maps and other useful applications, make arrangements for your apartment, deal with contracts (for your telephone, internet, etc.), and tie any other loose ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Arriving in Germany<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><b>Accommodation and Residence permit <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; After you arrive at your accommodation (if it\u2019s temporary, find a permanent one soon), apply for a residence permit at your local residents\u2019 registration office as soon as possible (you have about two weeks after arrival to do that). Choose a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/visaguide.world\/europe\/germany-visa\/residence-permit\/student\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">residence permit for students<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Enroll at your University<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Everyone has to enroll at the University at the beginning of the semester. The certificate is confirming that it is very important and it\u2019s called \u201cImmatrikulationsbescheinigung\u201d. What you need in order to get it is your passport with visa,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">letter of acceptance to the University and proof of the mandatory health insurance (in Germany).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All that\u2019s left now is to pay <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">semester contribution<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ( Univ. administration and public transportation fee), and tuition fees (if it\u2019s not free), and get your student ID.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Open a bank account <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; If you cannot use the bank account from your country you must open an account in Germany. That\u2019s the best way to pay rent, bills, and other everyday things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Useful courses for international students<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; If you\u2019d like to learn the German language, or get to know the culture and everyday life of Germans a little better, you should participate in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integration Courses<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It can help you not just to learn new things, but also to find new friends and adjust better to a new environment and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Studying and career opportunities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; While you study, there will be opportunities for internships, whether through your University, local agencies, or job fairs. You can also work part-time jobs, but keep in mind that students are allowed to work up to 120 full-days, or 240 half-days a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Learning useful\u00a0 things<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><b>German language<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; If you don\u2019t speak German, there are plenty of courses in English to choose from, and a lot of your fellow students there probably can speak English.
