German education, how to study in Germany, and the misunderstanding of studying in Germany

1. Education: The most basic thing is to finish one semester in China's 211 University or three semesters in an ordinary university (note that you have finished reading, not studying). Of course, anyone above this level is ok, but it is best to graduate from an undergraduate course or above.

2. language: the most basic thing is to have a certificate of 4 hours, but after coming to Germany at this level, you can only go to language classes. To go to school, you need a certificate of 8 hours and pass German exams (such as DSH or TestDaF).

if you meet these basic requirements, you can translate and notarize all your materials, and then send them to APS in Beijing (an institution that verifies and certifies your materials, not only for Germany, but also for Austria and Belgium, the only way to study in Germany) and issue an application for review. It will take about a month or two, and they will give you a time to take the exam. The content of the examination is mainly based on the courses you have learned in your materials (but in the German way) and your German level. It won't be long before they give you the results of your final review after the interview.

With the results of this audit (it is recommended to make more copies), together with the translated and notarized materials, a completed application form from a German university (which can be downloaded from the school's website), and your photo (there may be a copy of your passport, and the requirements of each school are different, but the materials you need are clearly written on your own website), register and send them to the school you want to apply for. Of course, the application form should specify which semester to apply for. If it is a restricted major, there is also a time limit for applying. The summer semester is before January 15 and the winter semester is before July 15. Before that, we should also be optimistic about how to write it on the school website. Then we have to wait for the result.

once a school sends you an admission notice, you can send it to APS together with your passport, and they will apply for your visa and send it back to you. Pack your things and you can buy a plane ticket and set off.

That is, the waiting time after the student dormitory application is not necessarily related to the location of the school. A considerable number of schools have to wait for more than one year in their dormitory. Of course, there are also schools that take care of foreign students, so they will give priority as much as possible, but not all of them are like this. Generally, it is normal for one to one and a half years. Therefore, it is best to make other plans as soon as possible, otherwise it will be miserable to have no house to live in after coming, and secondly, many things will be very troublesome if you can't get a hukou.

What are the disadvantages of studying in Germany

1. Language barrier. Most ordinary students in China learn foreign languages in English, and German is very simple for the university admission notice in Germany, but after that, they have to pass a rigorous course examination.

2. Long study time. Excellent education in Germany is based on the quality of education, so it is obvious that it is difficult for Germany to graduate.

3. Differences between the two learning systems. German universities attach great importance to students' self-awareness and initiative in learning. Professors list a long list of reference books. As for whether they understand in class or have difficulties in learning, as long as you don't take the initiative to ask, you don't care.

4. It is not easy to apply for scholarships. Because German universities offer free education, they do not offer scholarships themselves.

5. There are restrictions on immigration

The education system in Germany mainly started to develop after the Middle Ages. At first, the right to receive education only belonged to aristocrats and clergy, and then it gradually spread to the general people, which made the development of the national education system flourish. The tradition of compulsory education is constructed under the influence of Martin Luther's thought. Prussia is one of the earliest countries in the world to set up a national education system.

The German education system is mainly divided into five parts:

Primarstufe:

The first four years of the education system (some states have independence in the fifth and sixth years

Orientierungsstufe.

Sekundarbereich I:

After finishing primary school, it enters this level, which is mainly divided into three categories:

Hauptschule, Realschule, and Gymnasium.

the second-level advanced Sekundarbereich II:

it connects the students of the second-level junior high school of arts and sciences and the teaching content of deepening vocational education.

tertiary higher education Tertiarbereich:

It is divided into traditional universities, technical colleges and universities of science and technology.

Derivative education Quartaerbereich:

It includes education models outside the current school education system, as well as non-standard, private and professional continuing education.
