i would suggest TestDAF

its the only i know

or see if u got any PASCH schule at your country

like the one i had

[obtuse cosmos]

I don't think so...

[tight sky]

i took the DSD 2 exam from my school...these schools are mostly outside of europe so they motivate students to go to germany for university

[tight sky]

yeah well find something if there is in your country

if not you can go to germany like a few months before

and take the exam there

[obtuse cosmos]

There's one but in the capital

So 🙃

300 Km away

[obtuse cosmos]

Isn't there a preparation program in Germany?

[tight sky]

https://www.pasch-net.de/de/pasch-schulen/schulportraets/suedamerika/pry/deutsche-schule-concordia.html

[obtuse cosmos]

Yes, I found it

But it's in the capital

300 Km away from where I live

[tight sky]

https://www.pasch-net.de/de/pasch-schulen/schulportraets/suedamerika/pry/zentralschule-neuland.html

[tight sky]

oh damn

[obtuse cosmos]

But isn't it a highschool?

Can't I just apply for a preparation program in Germany? 💀

[tight sky]

https://www.icpa-gz.org.py/

[tight sky]

yes but you told me u wanted to get into your degree so

if youre willing to spend 1 more year in your country for example why not use it

[obtuse cosmos]

Isn't there one in Germany though

[tight sky]

look

[obtuse cosmos]

I read something that once you do the course, it's going to be easier to be admitted to those universities

[tight sky]

you can go to german universities for...

1. studienkolleg when you dont have HZB but as far as i understand you do
2. directly to pursue your studies
3. preparatory courses for language

[tight sky]

if you got good grades and a recognised german language diploma i dont thinkyou will be treated any differently

dont believe everything

[obtuse cosmos]

😭

But I guess it would be easier... Idk

Because otherwise I'll have to pay a lot of money just for the courses

The link you sent me is quite expensive

And I guess it'd be easier to go to Germany, do a preparation course for a couple of months and then apply to an university

[tight sky]

do you think living in germany for some months or 1 year is gonna be cheaper?

[obtuse cosmos]

Idk 💀

[tight sky]

you can take preparatory courses anywhere you wish in your country

just learn german

then take the exam which is around 200€ at goethe institut

[obtuse cosmos]

I don't have any Goethe institut in my country, so I'll have to travel to Germany for that

[tight sky]

im stating mostly my opinion here....im in kind of same situation and im very sharp when it comes to costs

[obtuse cosmos]

😭

What about Jacobs university

It only requires English proficiency test which I already did

[tight sky]

https://www.icpa-gz.org.py/DE/index.php/examenes-internacionales/

you literally got here exam dates

[tight sky]

jacobs in bremen?

[obtuse cosmos]

HOW DO YOU FIND ALL OF THIS

[obtuse cosmos]

Yes

[tight sky]

im literally reading paraguaian or what language its you guys speak called

you have to try

[obtuse cosmos]

Spanish 😭

[tight sky]

plus today has been my worst day and i wanna kill someone

so im searching this stuff with anger

[tight sky]

LMAO SORRY

HAHAHA

[obtuse cosmos]

HAHAHAHA

[tight sky]

i was thinking where have i seen these words

ok so jacobs uni in bremen requires VPD

search whats a VPD in uni assist

and its 1am here i gtg to wake up at 6 for work

[obtuse cosmos]

IT's OK, thank you very much!

[tight sky]

dm me or drop your questions here and ping me whatever ill see tomorrow

[obtuse cosmos]

Thank you very much!

[tight sky]

no worries

I have a question regarding what is "typical" for a German cv. I intend to start applying for jobs in real estate finance in Germany but am not quite sure of two things:

1). My native language is English and I will be applying to international real estate finance firms; is it better to have my cv in English or German or should I even send both?
2). If I should send it in German, what exactly is typical for a finance professional to include/leave out? In the US this often varies by sector of employment and I'm just assuming it's the same in Germany

Attached below is what came up when I googled (Lebenslauf finanz) but I'd like confirmation or refutation as to whether or not it actually is typical for Germany.

The below isn't a real cv, it's just a fake one stolen from a website

[sudden oak]

Hello
is there any other purpose for a scanned passport other than travelling purposes?

[humble bough]

#1 - definitely have your CV in English if you plan on working in English
#2 - as far as I'm aware, German CVs are very much of the "include everything" mindset. Unlike with my American resume, I would include even irrelevant employment experience (although I do leave out my high school part time jobs lol) because Germans expect it to be a complete history afaik.
The sample you posted looks pretty standard but tbh looks a little fancier than most German resumes I've seen. Also the picture has become semi-optional, I've had discussions with uni classmates about whether they plan to include it. I didn't include mine but more traditional companies may expect it.

[kind knot]

Hello everyone. I would like to study medicine in a German university, but I currently do not meet the language requirements. Is it possible for me to apply for a conditional acceptance while I perform a preparatory language course at the university? If so, what are the universities that offer such an option?

[sweet grove]

That makes perfect sense. Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time

[silver apex]

Should I mention that i also want to do a master's degree after bachelor in my cover letter aswell or does it trigger those consulate officers?

[exotic barn]

No not possible

[exotic shell]

1. if it really is international, it shouldn't matter. if your working language is german, use german.
2. that only matters if 1. matters :>

[formal zephyr]

I found this to be helpful in designing my cv for Germany. It’s landed me a number of interviews. https://www.simplegermany.com/german-cv-in-english/

[sweet grove]

I appreciate it!

[sweet grove]

Ooh thank you! I'll check it out

[stark oyster]

Hi, someone is trying to get into a Studienkolleg?

[potent sierra]

Does someone have an experience in Wirtschaftsinformatik? I wanted to know how a student will describe the course as. From what I found on the net it’s a mix of informatik bwl and economics but still a real science.

And just how different it is from a informatik course

[bold stump]

It's less Informatik and more Wirtschaft. It depends on the specific uni how the distribution is exactly. It's probably a fair bit easier than pure Informatik. If you wanna do reasearch / go for a PhD I'd recommend Informatik over Wirtschaftsinformatik. But really, it depends on what you wanna do / work as later on

[exotic shell]

as it was already said, it'll be more business than Informatik, but on the plus sight it's one of the if not the most sought after profession currently on the market. three of my friends have several open slots in the companies they're working in for that.

you'll have to like BWL because it'll be esentially all you'll be doing one you're done, you'll be expected to be the guy who connects the business side with the technical side. good universities will reflect that by offering a lot of hands-on stuff. as it was also already said, if you want to research in any way, this might not be the best field

[obsidian quail]

What museums/art galleries would you guys recommend to visit in Germany? (preferably in Berlin or somewhere that's not too far from it, but doesn't necessarily have to be.) I know I could just do a Google search and it would give me results of the most popular ones, but I would prefer to get the opinions of natives and others who have had particularly exciting impressions of someplace they've visited. Anything that really stands out to you or where you've had a great experience. Thanks. 🙂

[restive aspen]

I found the DDR museum quite fascinating.

(In Berlin)

[potent sierra]

In principle, is it more management than economics/ analytics

[potent sierra]

So a course in Mannheim would be more business and in kit will be more technical?

[chrome mulch]

as a tip, almost every uni and Studiengang if you just search uni name + course of study + Modulhandbuch (and/or Studienverlaufsplan) you can directly compare Informatik and Wirtschaftsinformatik 😄

[bold stump]

yup

[obsidian quail]

Thanks, I'll make a note of it 👍

If anyone else would like to give their answers as well then the question is still open, of course:)

[exotic barn]

Frage an die Ausländer in Deutschland,
Müssen wir auch Steuerabklärung machen? 😂 und wenn ja, habt ihrs selber gemacht? Jemanden eingestellt? oder wie?
Könnt mich direkt über Privatnachrichten anschreiben.
danke vielmals!

[tired cloak]

Hallo! Such jemand hier Mieter für eine WG in Aachen? Bitte private Nachricht mir schicken 🙏

[tight sky]

so giys

BSc. in Wirtschaftswissenschaften

should i do it jn TU Dresden?

i aim an uni like TUM or ETH Zürich for masters....will they really care where u did your bachelor?

i can go to TU Dresden or risk a bit and wait for Sommersemester and go to Goethe Uni Frankfurt

Goethe is of course top class for economics and finance...but overrall TUD has better reputation but more known for engineering

[bold stump]

That Dresden U has a higher reputation than Frankfurt U would be news to me

[tight sky]

yes overrall...but not in economics&finance faculty

am i right?

wont I be open to more opportunities as a finance undergraduate in Frankfurt?

[bold stump]

I mean Frankfurt is kinda the finance capital of mainland europe

TU Dresden in engineering has a good reputation. Frankfurt U has no engineering faculties. So I'd guess people rarely compare these two

Dresden is considerably cheaper to live in tho 😄

[tight sky]

yeah I know

but if i wanna do an internship in like 3rd semester wont Frankfurt offer me more options?

a mere example

or wont a degree from Goethe in finance be more worthy

im literally so confused...I got a few days timeto accept the offer from Dresden and I am being pressured from everyone

[bold stump]

for anything below Msc people rarely care for most degrees I'd say

[tight sky]

makes sense

i just hope a BSc in Dresden will be good to have some decent chances later for Msc in Frankfurt or Zürich

or even Münich

i dont ever plan to live in dresden after studies

[bold stump]

Ok, then study in the city where you wanna live? 😄

Just check what the requirements for Msc in X at Uni Y are. They may have some course requirements / grades you need to achieve in the Bsc

[tight sky]

ETHZ needs background in economics, recommendations and some good GPA

most of the MSc courses I've seen just need a decent GPA and thats it

others just formalities

its understandable to think that some things are internal and they won't share of course

like which name of university they wanna hear more?

[potent osprey]

hey guys

i wanna get a study permit in germany

what do i need to do?

[plain orbit]

Check the german embassy in your home country

[potent osprey]

ok thanks!\

[green skiff]

Die Steuererklärung muss du nur machen, wenn du nicht genug bezahlt hast oder zB zu viel verdient. Also als Privatperson, die nur durch einen Job Geld verdient, muss du das nicht machen. Es ist aber empfehlenswert, wenn du vollzeit arbeitest, du könntest Geld zurück bekommen. Also es ist egal, ob du Deutsche bist oder nicht.

[exotic barn]

Ach soo. Danke für die Antwort! Sehr lieb von dir

[chrome mulch]

I know when you're just starting college everything feels like the most important decision in the world, and ofc it is really important. But the goal of studying is to get an education and prepare yourself for your future career. So I would consider what you plan on doing and whether 'the name' is more important than the skills you acquire--and your own happiness.

As nyandog said, in germany bachelors programs are pretty much the same. Sure in some fields some unis have a better reputation than others, but it's really first at the master level that there will be large differences in curriculum: and your contact with your professors will be much closer/independent projects, etc.

So it actually does make sense not just to consider the name, but also where you would be happy living. Check the professors at the unis, their fields of research, whether there's any specialisation in the curricula, etc.

When I first went to college I got into my dream school, great name great reputation, amazing opportunities. But I was miserable the whole time and didn't end up making use of any of it. If I could go back, I would worry less about the reputation of your bachelor program and more about what you'll actually be happy doing.

[brisk iron]

Hi, is there anyone who studied at Siegen Uni as a exchange student?

[tight sky]

rip sorry to hear that

I decided today to accept the TUD

it even had local NC which is even more selective

so I really gave it a thought to it and decided its a better place for me

Dresden seems chill and is pretty similar to the city I live now

[plain orbit]

very exciting, hope it goes well

[exotic barn]

Hello everyone

I kinda need some help translating a doc

[tight sky]

thanks

[exotic barn]

its something about energy for an apartment complex I am applying to, I would translate it online but its a scanned pdf

Anyone here good at reading

[tight sky]

im really stupid of considering leaving TUD for uni frankfurt

[exotic barn]

German and could help maybe??

[tight sky]

is it a long doc?

[exotic barn]

Nothing wrong with considering surely

[exotic barn]

It isn't that long, it has snippets of text

[tight sky]

that seems complicated tbh i dont wanna tell you anything wrong

if you want 2-3 opinions hmu and i will get back to you later

[tight sky]

yep last week has been very stressful

[exotic barn]

Alright,

I'll dm the doc to ya then

[tight sky]

no worries

[silver apex]

for studienvorbereitung visum, should i put the language institute's details in visa application or the university where i got my conditional admit??

[olive summit]

I use windscribe since it's free but it has a limit of 10gb or so

still enough for any YouTube videos which are blocked

[green halo]

Hey guys ! Im moving to ingolstadt in a few weeks to study at THI , i wanna make some new friends , feel free to dm !

[tight sky]

?

why are youtube vids blocked??

why do u guys use vpns there

i wanna know such things so i can take some measurements before going to germany lmao

[olive summit]

they're blocked for a number of reasons, some probably better for #archived-sensitive-topics

but in any case I've encountered blocked vids more often here than in the US

still it's not a real issue with a VPN and it's not something which happens a lot

some tweets are unavailable here which surprised me the most 😂

[tight sky]

...

dont u get fined in germany for using vpn and viewing such things?

same with pirating sites

[chrome mulch]

I haven't had an issue with streaming online. Haven't had an issue with youtube either. And it isn't illegal to use a vpn

[white canyon]

hey can someone explain me why is mechanical engineering only 3 years in germany whereas its 4 years in other countries? is the 3 year degree then considered a diploma or a normal degree? i want to do bsc mechanical engineering, my dad wants me to go germany but a part of me wants to go canada :'(

[chrome mulch]

bachelors degrees in germany last 3 years (generally)

at the end you have a BSc

it is considered normal. Worth noting: in Germany you do a master before going onto a PhD.

[white canyon]

sooo the 3 year degree in germany is equal to a 4 year degree in some other country?

any drawbacks or is it completely fine? cuz im a lil scared abt the 3 year thing, my dad was telling me a mechanical engineering course lasts for 4 year and then u get a bachelors degree but in germany its 3 so high chances r tht its a diploma

[chrome mulch]

do you plan on doing anything after a bachelors degree?

and if so: will you do it in the same country you got your bachelors?

[white canyon]

im thinking of mba

but i will for sure do masters in smthng

im just not sure yet

[potent sierra]

The German abitur could be considered the equivalent to the first year of a four year bsc. So the high schools last year is advanced

[white canyon]

it depends sir, cuz if im gonna do bachelors in germany then i wanna go canada and do masters there cuz i kinda have more interest to go study there

[white canyon]

oh so its only for german schools? like german high schools or sm? cuz im from india and i study cbse syllabus, so i dont really know how it is for other boards

[potent sierra]

Cbse students need to do studienkolleg

You could search this on the internet. Some articles will explain it better

[white canyon]

oh ok

[bold stump]

classically the degree was 5 years. Which was split up in 3 yrs Bsc and 2 yrs Msc, so basically same curriculum as before but with an additional thesis instead of the Vordiplom. So most Germans would still do Bsc + Msc by default.

MBA is still kinda rare and I have not met anyone who would consider an MBA a plus (except if your company paid for it... then it's a nice holiday and why not)

[white canyon]

ohhh so is it still ok if i do bsc and then mba? idk im still not sure abt which masters i wanna do :(

[white canyon]

ow

cuz my cousin bro did mechanical in india (4 years) and then did mba in germany and now works in austria

i only have 1.5 years left cuz i havent strted learning german, i was just tooo curious so i strted learning from duolingo idk if tht wud help or not :'(

[bold stump]

I mean, depends on what you wanna do. If you don't wanna work in germany, go nuts, pick whatever you like.

Also depends on the field of engineering you want to work in

classical construction company with mech engineer Bsc from india and mba from germany? I'd be very surprised if someone would hire. You'd need to be extremely above the rest of the candidates

[white canyon]

uh im not sure if he went with construction company, as far as i remember he went with some natural smthng smthng but it wasnt construction

[white canyon]

ye im not sure if i wanna work there, i have a lot of things gng on in my mind but taking small steps and gng ahead seems like the best option so im tryna do thinngs slowly but steady ig

[olive summit]

it's a law on the books but its scarcily enforced in my experience

[tight sky]

good

[olive summit]

pirating is illegal in most if not all countries but it's not a top priority

[tight sky]

we even pirate government

[silver apex]

Hey i have a question
What language should my cover letter and CV should be in for student visa application?

My friend recently got a mail from consulate saying he needs to submit it in German even tho he submitted language school and A1 certificates along with it

And it creates a doubt for me

[burnt vale]

Both English and German

[nocturne cedar]

Hello I had a question concerning student german visa. I'll explained a bit of context first.
I received a letter of acceptance from a University X I applied to but I wasn't very interested in this degree. I also applied to a University Y which I had a complete interest to go to compared to the University X but I didn't received an acceptance letter from the University Y yet. Because I was concerned about the time it would take for my visa to process, my teachers told me that I could apply for my student visa even with the letter of acceptance from University X even though I wanted to go to University Y. This is exactly what I did 2 months ago and applied for my visa at the German consulate of my country. Meanwhile I received the letter of acceptance from the University Y.
Today I received an email from the consulate telling me that my visa has been well received and that I could come and claim it which is exactly what I did. The people working at the consulate gave me my passport in which there was my visa and told me some directives concerning the registration of my visa at the city Town hall that I should follow as soon as I arrive in Germany. Up till now everything is fine.
When I opened my passport to take a look at my visa, I saw the validity duration of my visa which was 6 month and I also saw that it was written also the name of the degree X at the Uni X. The thing is I'm going for the degree Y at the University Y, not the degree X. . Is it still going to be valid and will I be able to register and use my visa as I am planning to move to Germany in one month in the region of the Uni Y.

I know it's a bit long,it's my first time doing those things, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[plain orbit]

When i applied for my visa they made a really big point about making sure that the visa application process has to be specific to the university that I'm going to attend, and to supply the acceptance letter from that same university, because the visa will be specific for that university. As far as I know it, you're not allowed to attend another university when your visa is specific for one institution. So i would say double check with your embassy or the Rathaus of your city, because that could be a reason to reject your final processing

[hazy jetty]

hello guys, I need some help please! any one who has good germany language. I have a Lebenslauf and Anschreiben that I need someone to correct them for me please

[silver apex]

But how am I supposed to write in German when all i know is A1 ?

[river star]

Hey if you want to you can dm me and I can help you!

[burnt vale]

Well, do what you can. You do not need to make it complex. Use simple sentences

Showing dedication matters

[bold stump]

what the hell? Lol, no. Horse riding is popular because historically Germany is centrally located in europe and a hub of transport. Also german sport riders usually finish in the Top 10 in international events. You may also find horses in a lot of sigils of states / cities etc

[chrome mulch]

deepL

[silver apex]

;-;

[chrome mulch]

Genuinely. That will put you on quite a good way.

I would put your text through deepL then post it here or ask another native for corrections

[karmic moat]

anyone here applying for coming intake??? in studienkolleg??

[nocturne cedar]

Can I DM you to ask you more questions please?

[tight sky]

is your degree u applied for in english?

if yes make them in english

wtf youre telling him to do with A1 level💀

you dont need anything complex yet everything shall be precise and correct grammatically

[silver apex]

nope but im applying for study preparation visa with language studies n studienkolleg

[tight sky]

I would say do them in english

[plain orbit]

I would prefer talking here if you don't mind. That way someone else who also might know something can also chime in

[tight sky]

i dont wanna give wrong advice

but seems more right than saying do them with german a1

[chrome mulch]

the response they got was to do both.

[tight sky]

bruh english is accepted everywhere

even i did my applications in english

sent them in 4 different universities in germany

[chrome mulch]

it is a visa application, not an application to a university. I know nothing about it, so I can't say either way, but note that in the original post closure has made the observation that a friend of theirs was requested by the consulate to resubmit in german (for a similar program)

[tight sky]

maybe depends on country

[chrome mulch]

so if you do not want to give wrong advice, it is a good idea to get an idea of the situation and--in doubt--not to give any at all.

[tight sky]

at least in my country english german doesnt matter

[silver apex]

I got my university conditional acceptance and booked a language school
And my friend did the same n he submitted his application in English but consulate told him to do it in German and 💀💀

[silver apex]

Where are ya from?

[silver apex]

okok so do i need the letter for physical presence and extension of admission for language school aswell or nah??

[wary warren]

i start realschule in a few weeks and i just moved to germany, what should i wear to school? i'm not familiar with how school is like in germany and in my previous school, we wore school uniforms. i heard that this isn't the case in germany

[tight sky]

lol wear whatever you want

why do you ask

if there is no uniform at the school means itsbup to you

(at least i dont care much about these things)

[next hull]

If you are worried that you might stand out too much/not enough you may go to any school around the time lessons end and watch for yourself what people wear. If you can't because of holidays, some other facilities with a similar profile might do the trick.

But generally, I have to agree with @tight sky . Unless your school has some sort of special arrangement (those who have a dress code are usually pretty clear about it), you shouldn't have much to worry about. As a general advice you should be in the clear with something modest as far as your school is concerned.

[tight sky]

i hope my school wont have anything like this

so I will keep wearing whatever I want lmao

(yes to stand out too much)

[next hull]

My school used to have quite a strict dresscode (I'm not sure if it still does, it has been almost 20 years since my enrolment). I might still have the policy lying around here somewhere.

[quick salmon]

Can anyone help me with accommodation in Paderborn Please🥲

[chrome mulch]

you should go to some actual apartment/room seeking websites

[tight sky]

if youre enrolled at a uni have u seen if theres Studentenwerk there?

[quick salmon]

Yeah They have quite a long waitlist

[tight sky]

rip i thought this wouldnt be the case

then yeah you need to suffer and go through them websites

[tight sky]

so when I go to germany to start my studies in October

will the 1st month be crazy expensive for me

if anyone has recent experience I mean it could help

im a foreigner

[plain orbit]

The first 2 or so months will always be expensive. If you will live in a dorm i suggest seeing if they have a place where moving students leave stuff behind

[steep rapids]

iwant to appear for aufnahmenprufunf is it really tough for t kurs

aufnahmenprufung*

and which university should i go for full scholarship on computer science branch

[plain orbit]

Check daad

[misty parcel]

Does anyone do Ausbildung as foreigner outside of Europe?

Need help to understand how it works

[olive summit]

yes

[tight sky]

fuck

but the dorms at TU dresden as I saw were fully furnished

so

[misty parcel]

How does it work?

[olive summit]

which part specifically

[next hull]

When I applied for a student apartment in Münster (same general area of Germany as Paderborn) in spring of 2012, there already was a waiting list open for Wintersemester 2016. Of course one could also apply for Wintersemester 2012, but... yeah. A colleague of mine got in, though, because of a disability. Some student dorms seem to have quotas for special groups.

[tight sky]

well

seems ill be without a roof over my head

[misty parcel]

Like learning German applying for Ausbildung. How do u apply?

[next hull]

There still are a few possibilities:

• Try to find a more expensive lodging in town
• Try to find something affordable outside of town or in a neighbouring town and commute from there
• Try to make connections that can inform you whenever some dorm room gets vacated
• Apply with a "Studentenvereinigung" (fraternity/sorority); this is cheap, but there are other caveats; there is a reason why these are not an option for most students.
• Look on noteboards at university or at the uni mensa. The things on there sometimes can't be found online (easily) and slip through the net of most searchers. This is how I got my accommodation.

[tight sky]

but as I saw Studentenwerk Dresden had some available options

idk if that means there's no Warteliste at all?

[next hull]

No idea.

[tight sky]

Studentenwerk is okay right?

I have seen many universities have that

its in the whole germany

[next hull]

Should be. But I've never been to Paderborn.

[tight sky]

dresden*

but yeah

idk hope it is how I think it is

cause if theres no waiting list and available options till now it is quite convenient

[plain orbit]

in my experience studentenwerk stuff tend to have a long waiting list

they do prioritise international students, but you should still apply months ahead of time

[tight sky]

nooooo

I must apply for it right now

is it complicated do you send only an application form and thats it?

[chrome mulch]

idk why you'd prefer to live in a dorm to a WG anyway, but yeah: just apply.

I would start looking at other options already too.

I guess Dresden isn't a super popular destination, but it's still a sizeable city and housing is increasingly difficult to come by in all of germany.

[silver apex]

can someone help me with my cover letter? :')) i just need some readers

[tight sky]

cause im going to a foreign country

where a dorm is an easier start

and doesnt have the chance of scamming students

while someone on a website does very often

[tight sky]

if its not too long send me

im too lazy but I will have a look later

or why dont u just send it here it will be easier

[silver apex]

💀 well its almost 1 and 1/4 pages

[tight sky]

size 12?

if the writing isnt smaller than 12 its manageable

lmao

[chrome mulch]

Most WGs will run a full interview process 🤔 scamming is much more common for online apartment searches: however you do you. I was moving from quite far away and had no issues. The saying goes don't put all your eggs in one basket.

[tight sky]

yeah ofc

tbh i dont like WGs

im seeing in dresden i can rent an apartment for really a slight difference than a WG in price

just a one room apartment would be okay its just me anyways

[chrome mulch]

if you post it in #writing you will have a better chance

[silver apex]

alright

but its in english tho

[silver apex]

its 11

:DD

[chrome mulch]

oh well then forget it 😂

[tight sky]

look i usually cant say no to people

so use the opportunity now if u want

smh

[chrome mulch]

I would offer since it's my native language but cover letters really suck.

[tight sky]

english isnt my strongest points but im really sharp at grammar

[silver apex]

LOL yay so dms?

[tight sky]

whatever idc really

[silver apex]

well it isnt grammatically accurate yet im just looking for a structure for now 💀

[tight sky]

I will do my best

[olive summit]

you contact various companies which offer an Ausbildung for the field you're looking for, the minimum German for the visa is B1

[misty parcel]

So just ask them even tho they dont say we accept ppl from outside

[olive summit]

I've never encountered a company who said that personally

depending on the industry the local Kammer might have a list of companies on their website

[silver apex]

Btw do i need to put my language institute's name n location or university which offered me conditional admit in my application for study preparation visa? ;-; im so confused

[plain orbit]

better be safe than sorry, put both

in my experience with the visa embassy they had a bad habit of not listing things they actually need on the website so just bring everything with you

[silver apex]

dayum so put both language school and uni?

and and also they ask for a person for reference from germany, should i put in details of the person from language in that aswelll?

[exotic barn]

Does anyone know any special websites for housing in deggendorf, Germany?

I am finding a hard time looking for that online

private housing links anyone?

[silver apex]

ok another stupid question
do u buy health and travel insurance separately? 💀

[plain orbit]

yes

[silver apex]

ooofsies
gotta find a good one then

[tight sky]

that health insurance better cover my half organs that dont function well

so another stupid question...do u uni students in germany carry many books around

sorry coming from albania is like coming from a cave

[next hull]

Depends on the university, the subject, the professor and the student's learning tastes. And the proficiency of the student in the subject.

[silent crane]

pm plz

[tight sky]

whatever

ill just buy the backpack i like

and hope i wont have many books cause its not one to carry a lot

Is this a good response for housing?

Why do you want to live at x

Ich bin ein sauberer Mensch und räume mein Zimmer regelmäßig auf. Ich möchte im Haus Lohtor wohnen, weil es eine tolle Lage in der Stadt und in der Nähe meiner Schule (TUM Heilbronn) hat. Als fleißige und fleißige Studentin habe ich eine Vorprüfungsdokumentation mit der Note 1,0 erhalten und die schöne Aussicht von Haus Lohtor wäre die perfekte Lernatmosphäre für mich.

Ich würde gerne die Gelegenheit ergreifen, im Verwaltungsteam zu arbeiten, um einen Beitrag zum Haus Lohtor zu leisten und neue Studenten aus der ganzen Welt kennenzulernen. Auch das voll möblierte Zimmer ist für mich als internationale Studentin sehr praktisch, und ich freue mich darauf, die nahe gelegenen Geschäfte und Supermärkte zu besuchen.

[chrome mulch]

do you identify as a woman? @shy spoke

also, 'als fleißige und fleißige Studentin' obviously doesn't really work

and as a structural thing, I think it's a bit all over the place. I haven't seen the other responses, so if this is your only place to talk about yourself and what kind of tenant you are, I can see why you've included it. However, I would still try to organise it better. The first sentence response to why you want to live at X place shouldn't be that you are a clean person who keeps their room tidy.

Unless there's bonus points for VPD scores, I would reword that as well.

[rough loom]

this is probably a dumb question and im not sure where to ask but i'm visiting berlin in a few weeks and just wanted to check if my uk student id card will get me discounts in museums that offer it the same way :) also if anyone knows any nice places to visit in berlin other than the regular tourist spots pls let me know <3

Is anyone pursuing or planning to pursue a masters degree in renewable/sustainable energy in germany?

[potent sierra]

I have but could only find private publishers not something from the Bundesländer

[next hull]

Most school books come from private publishers. There are some things provided by government agencies like "Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung" ("federal headquarters for political education"), but mostly for very limited topics (like what's in the German constitution).

And there are differences between schools in what books they use to teach. I just went to the bookstore a few days ago, and there were baskets of school books sorted by schools in the district (and not, as one might expect, by subjects).

[next hull]

The best/most in-depth school books for mathematics I know of are from the mid-1980s from "Bayerischer Schulbuch-Verlag" ("Bavarian school book publishing house"). I don't know if one can still get those, they had a few left in stock at our school (in the state of north-rhine westphalia) in the mid-2000s that were sorted out and I managed to purchase a set from the school. Haven't seen books as good for high-school level maths ever since - but I'm not familiar with a lot of the books circulating around, so this is just an opinion.

[dark pecan]

Hallo

I have a serious question in which I need opinions.

Is it risky to apply for 2 courses (related to each other) in same universities?

Does this anyway hamper my chances? I would be submitting 2 different but similar LOM/SOP (Letter of Motivation).

Or is it better to stick just to one course in one university?

[silver apex]

I dont think it's better to apply for two different courses at the same university cus they'll easily know

[silver apex]

Might be better to apply to different unis for different courses
Tho idk much about it

[exotic barn]

Hallo! Studiert hier jemand an der Freie Universität Berlin? 😃

[dusky monolith]

I was accepted to a university in Germany, and we start in early October.......I am an American........do I have to get a study visa before I go, or can I just go in visa-free and get a residence permit once I arrive?

Study visa is NOT the same as a residence permit, correct?

[chrome mulch]

as an American, you are part of the Schengen zone. That means you can come into Germany on the Schengen visa--for which you do not have to apply, it is automatic--for 90 days. During this 90 days you can apply for your residence permit (Aufenthaltstitel) within Germany. The purpose of your Aufenthaltstitel is included in it, you don't need a separate visa.

However, upon entering the country you may be asked about a return ticket or your plans. I would have your university documents (namely: acceptance letter(Zulassungsbescheid)/Immatrikulationsbescheinigung) at the ready in case they want to see them.

[dusky monolith]

That's a relief....will I still need a blocked bank account (Sperrkonto) for my residence permit or is that for study visa only?

[plain orbit]

Both

But as an American maybe you won't need one

[chrome mulch]

All online resources say that you will need a Sperrkonto with X amount for 1 year. This is the official requirement, so I want to make it clear that what I'm saying is anecdotal--you will want to get in touch with the international office at your uni and ask.
But I have never needed the Sperrkonto. In every city I've lived and every time I've applied and extended, I've shown a normal german bank account with the required amount. Never got asked about it a single time.

This has been the case in Hessen and Bremen.

[dusky monolith]

Ahhh, okay. Vielen dank fur ihren hilfen

[brisk sonnet]

I might be moving to Germany when I become an adult, what should I do now to start preparing for that option? (I'm 15 right now)

[chrome mulch]

learn german

[olive summit]

non-EU students need a Sperrkonto

[ocean trail]

i got an invitation letter but the time period written on it was really flexible and i was wondering if my visa time period can be shortened (turns out i have to have enough money to show that i can afford)

also i only have my letter as a pdf do i need the original copy of it? or a print would be enough

[silver apex]

I think it depends on the country you're from
embassies at some countries would give an appointment really fast to everyone while some would take ages

[tight sky]

is anyone here a student at TUD

will I have friends there

or be alone to death

[tight sky]

u either get visa or not

visa cant be shorter or longer wtf

u just get a national visa for a stay over 90days

and within 3months on getmany u MUST go to the office forgot what its called to get a residence permit

[silver apex]

Ohh
Nvm i thought they meant appointment
Yes they give for 90 and u gotta extend it

[tight sky]

which still tbh cant be predicted is either 1 or very rarely 2 years

u dont extend the visa u get the residence permit

but yo what kinda same shit

anw I have my own problems ill die alone

[silver apex]

Same ;-;

How long it takes to find accomodation in Berlin when you're already there??

What's German arbitur?

[next hull]

In Germany, first you go to elementary school, which is 4 years. Then, you have to choose the type of secondary school. There used to be three types (but this has gotten way more complicated during the last couple of decades): Hauptschule, Realschule and Gymnasium, which differ in subjects and difficulty. Abitur is the certificate for finishing Gymnasium, which enables you to go to university. There are other ways to go there, but they are usually bound to additional conditions.

In total, for Abitur you have to go to school for 12-13 years (differs by state).

[obtuse sorrel]

Can anyone who has applied for a German national visa from India, please DM me? I Have some urgent queries for the appointment! Thank you

[distant void]

The Abitur is the highest possible school qualification that you can achieve.

it must be valid for 3months and cover expenses of at least 30k euros

so ofc its expensive...now I got an option of fucking 120euros including latest covid shit bla bla covered

but how much will the embassy look into this? what if i buy some cheap one covering 30k damage ok but not with covid and shit

[tight sky]

i cant but noce youre going to switzerland ayy

shut up

u will

ill be supportive cause its my dream to go in switzerland in future as well lol

can i ask why switzerland?

[tight sky]

wym why switzerland?

why ETH Zürich?

does that make sense lol

[stark oyster]

I didn't know that university

xd

[potent sierra]

I think eth Zürich has included some books on their website

On the pages relating to the two exams

[next hull]

For Germany, this should depend on the state you live in, as the states govern most things about education. And then there are the obvious differences between teachers, which can be... yeah...

When I did my Abitur in NRW in 2012, the topics were somewhat similar to the ones you list. We did cover among other things (if I remember correctly):

Establishment of the Northern American colonies and their differences
French king Louis XIV, the sun king
The French revolution
The Napoleonic wars and reforms
The Restauration after the Napoleonic wars
The advancement of ideologies in the 19th century
The revolts and revolutions 1830 and 1848/49 in Germany
The way to the German unification
The politics of Bismarck
The rise of the Socialist Parties in Germany
The First World War and its origins
The Versailles Peace Treaty
The Weimar Republic and the constitutional crises
The power grab by the National Socialists in Germany
The foreign politics of the National Socialists prior of the Second World War
The treatment of Jews under the National Socialists
A short overview about everything that happened after the Second World War

Of course there were lots of other things in the books, but we didn't cover them all. Not by a long shot.

[tight sky]

ayy

good luck seriously

thanks

btw i hope u will keep up with expenses and the pressure there

ive heard eth is kinda strict for bachelors

[hexed knoll]

wait, what? why isnt it possible to work during the studentkolleg?

iguess starving is the way

[tight sky]

isnt it same as everyone

20hrs weekly

[tight sky]

tbh same

even if the 20hrs are allowed I dont think ill be able to catch up with school and work since the start

[hexed knoll]

same?

u mean even native students who attend uni are not allow to work either?

hm

imean i read on studenkoleg,de that is not allow to work during studentkoleg

[tight sky]

international students who are in university can work up to 20hrs weekly

idk about natives or for studienkolleg

[olive summit]

I believe it is allowed just like normal students but it's not reccomended since the Studienkolleg is full time

might need special permission also

[hexed knoll]

u mean iits not recommended cuz i wont have time to do it? and what is full time? could you clarify, explain that ?

[olive summit]

full time student typically means full course load

if you fail the Studienkolleg you cannot study in Germany it's very important to focus on your classes

and unlike a regular student you cant redo courses afaik

[hexed knoll]

screams in fear

[olive summit]

you can fail a certain number of courses before you're kicked out

[hexed knoll]

ithink everywhere they kick you out if u fail

[olive summit]

but once you are those credits you earned before are basically wasted

that's in Switzerland they have different rules than Germany

it depends on the institution, but by and large the bureaucracy and rules are very rigid

[hexed knoll]

wait, u mean cant study AT ALL? like if i fail studenkolleg i cant even study in Volkshule?

[olive summit]

Volksschule isnt studying

[hexed knoll]

wait, im dumb

i forgot the word

[olive summit]

that's just courses someone takes in their free time, they offer some language courses but it's not Studium

no I'm american I live in germany

[hexed knoll]

its called Ausbildung and u can attend it after 9th grade, and you study for 3 years, what is the word for it?

[olive summit]

To study after an Ausbildung you need to work a bit after the Ausbildung then you can study

Dual Studium are studies during the Ausbilding but that is typically arranged by the company which offered you the position

[hexed knoll]

anyway, thanks for info

[hexed knoll]

has anyone here passed the T-course in studienkolleg ? i would like to know more about it, i know that the entry exams consist of german and math, somewhere only german, but better to ask the studienkolleg that im interested in, so lets say i got admitted, what subjects will i have in first and second semester? after the first semester do i need to pass any exams in order to attend the second semester? what final exam that is after the second semester consist of(list of subjects), and the classes that i will ihave, will they teach me from very beginning or i need to have some sorta basis level of the subject? thanks in advance

[tight sky]

is it that hard to work part time during your full time courses?

seems I will be starving for the coming 3 years

[chrome mulch]

depends how fast you do school work...bzw. how much you struggle. And ofc how hard and flexible your job is

[tight sky]

ugh

oh hell no

im not doing my undergraduate studies at eth

I am aiming a masters one

but that has time...first ill need to survive germany

[hexed knoll]

help?

[silk osprey]

Hello everyone. Do Ausbildungen fall under the Skilled Worker Act? I've tried to find information about this online which outrightly states this but I've only come across this article:

https://kcrconsultants.com/skilled-immigration-act-germany/

From what I read in the "Residence permit for Training and Skill Development" section, it might be the case but I'm not sure at all. Could someone please help me confirm this info?

The reason I'm asking is, in my country the German embassy has long appointments for visa applications. And if it doesn't fall under the Skilled immigration act I'll have to wait a year for an appointment.

[potent sierra]

The subjects depend on the studienkolleg and your degree. Typically it’s German, Maths, Physics, Chemistry,
informatik. You will probably need to know the basics by yourself, as they will only teach Abitur level topics. In some stks u learn chemistry or cs, it really depends on the stk

[fast sorrel]

Anyone online here

[left fulcrum]

Hi, what's your question?

[fast sorrel]

At which universities i can study computer engineering with 3 nc

[left fulcrum]

What's 3 NC?

[fast sorrel]

Numerus clausus score is 3

[left fulcrum]

I have no idea, have you tried DAAD?

[chrome mulch]

your grade is a 3? The NC is the cutoff. So you want to look for a uni that has no NC or an NC lower than 3

[hexed knoll]

and the final exams? it consists of all subject they, right?

[fast sorrel]

Did u study in germany

[chrome mulch]

yes, I studied before and currently study Informatik

[fast sorrel]

What was your nc

[chrome mulch]

1,0

my grade, not my NC

lol

[fast sorrel]

Are you native german

[chrome mulch]

no

[fast sorrel]

which universities did u apply

[chrome mulch]

uhhh let's see....in Berlin, in Bremen, and in Hamburg

also in Frankfurt awhile back

note: none of those applications were for informatik, rather for psychologie (much stricter)

but the principle is the same.

[fast sorrel]

Why informatik doesnt require nc is it a bad thing to study

[left fulcrum]

So you changed majors?

[chrome mulch]

no, NC is basically just made in case more people want to study a topic than there are places

In many degree fields like informatik, physik, math, etc etc. the number of students who wish to study doesn't exceed the spots.

there's also a high drop out rate in the first year or two, if I'm not mistaken, which may also contribute

[fast sorrel]

Bro im so pissed that there is no way you can know if u can get into a university or not in germany there is literally no ranking

[chrome mulch]

I've never seen a more cut and dry system for knowing ahead of time if you'll get a spot 🤔

if there's no NC: if you have the right documents you get in.

If there is an NC: if your grade is much better than the NC, you will almost certainly get in. If it's lower, chances are much slimmer

[fast sorrel]

its so random dude like its insane im living in turkey and i can know months ago if i can get into a university or not

[left fulcrum]

If you fulfill the minimum requirements, you'll most likely get in, I guess. Don't quote me on that

[potent sierra]

Yes it’s called the fsp

[olive summit]

personally had a very poor experience with uni-assist, cut and dry is the last word I'd use to describe the application process

[chrome mulch]

I didn't use it to describe the process rather the concept of NC 😄

however, I'm surprised at how many people struggle with uni-assist. The amount of step-by-step resources is very high. Was it a logistics problem? (i.e. mail not going through)

[olive summit]

it was in 2020 so they pulled every excuse to delay giving me my results until the last second

werent accepting any phone calls, only emails with 2 week waiting times

[chrome mulch]

did you apply early or late in the process?

[olive summit]

way early

[chrome mulch]

I have never tried calling or emailing them, kinda figured there would be no response. I imagine they are just drowned in emails from people begging for results

[olive summit]

communication from them was scarce

I dont understand why you cant just apply directly to the university, this just makes the whole process impersonal and complicated

[chrome mulch]

idk where you applied, but at many schools you do apply directly at the uni, you only use uni assist for the VPD

[olive summit]

yea but keeping me waiting until the week before the semester begins is cruel

[chrome mulch]

was it a master program ?

[olive summit]

bachelors

wym by vpd

[chrome mulch]

private or public?

[olive summit]

public

[chrome mulch]

Vorprüfungsdokumentation

[olive summit]

that basically decides whether or not you can study at all lol it's kind of important

the fact uni assist also lied and told me the university itself could change the decision only for the university to deny this

[chrome mulch]

yeah VPD is important, my point was that at many unis you still apply via their portal/process, just submit a VPD as part of the documents altogether.

But yeah, that sounds like a shitty experience.

may I ask which Bundesland?

[olive summit]

NRW

but I don't believe it matters

[fast sorrel]

Can i get into a university with ap or sat scores or do i have to enter the testAs exam

[olive summit]

shitty bureaucracy is everywhere in this country

[chrome mulch]

I had bad experience with Berlin unis sending really late Zulassungsbescheide (esp. for a city where finding an apartment is next to impossible)

[olive summit]

you can submit them but I've never been asked for them specifically

[chrome mulch]

afaik the 'dates' are Bundesland wide

[olive summit]

some of my AP courses werent even considered

[chrome mulch]

at least that was the vibe I got when my decisions for unis within the same Bundesland all came in on the same day

[olive summit]

i thought it varies by institution

but again this was 2 years ago

[chrome mulch]

maybe it was just an odd coincidence for berlin

[fast sorrel]

Do you know which exam do i need to take to study in germany

[olive summit]

friend of mine applied directly to Karlsruhe they didnt accept any AP or ACT scores

[fast sorrel]

so what did he do?

[olive summit]

its extremely frustrating how rigid this system can be even to continuing students from foreign universities

well she did get in after a bit of hassle, I'm sure the uni was more willing to let in a non eu student they can charge tuition since it's in Baden Württemberg

[fast sorrel]

Btw in turkey you can see which university you can enter very easily
For germany i couldnt even find the numerus clausus for universities its so hard to know which university will accept you

[chrome mulch]

NC + uni name

if there is no listing, that probably means no NC for that course

[olive summit]

rather it is hard to know whether your qualifications will be sufficient for NC frei

uni assist has a short quiz on their website for this but it's not a guarentee

[fast sorrel]

And its all in german its all gibberish to me

[chrome mulch]

hence why you would apply for the VPD which will say right on the front whether or not you're qualified 😅

[olive summit]

?

[fast sorrel]

What is vpd

[olive summit]

I genuinely do not know what you're referring to

[chrome mulch]

at least uni-assist will take AP tests into account, so long as you have the actual report

[olive summit]

I had to wait months for results

AP tests but not the courses themselves

well it can vary by subject

[fast sorrel]

So ap score can get you into a uni in germany?

[olive summit]

but for the more niche ones like statistics or environmental science they did not accept them

[fast sorrel]

Do they accept it for computer engineering

[olive summit]

AP is an American course type in high school

if you pass the exam at the end of the class you can skip uni level courses

[fast sorrel]

Can you apply to computer engineering at a uni with a ap score

[olive summit]

I suppose? it probably depends on which course you took

[chrome mulch]

well, naturally. It has to be 'converted' into an Abitur-ish grade. And it would be difficult to claim Stats as equivalent to a math LK, I imagine. But they wouldn't just discard the course altogether. It would still be considered as part of your credits. The sticking point is that an American High school diploma is not equivalent to a German abitur. So what you'll get is a lot of American students desperate to avoid Studienkolleg or entrance exams, frustrated that their high school degree isn't recognised as sufficient in the German system.

[fast sorrel]

But they can reject you too even with ap score like you said right?

[olive summit]

I'm just describing my experience, even many of my university level courses werent accepted

[chrome mulch]

weren't accepted for what? That is what I'm confused

[olive summit]

they took a 101 level chemistry course but not AP environmental science

[chrome mulch]

and yeah, your experience sounds bad aside from the issue of assigning credit

[olive summit]

the credits

was converted to 0 basically

I didnt understand how I didnt have enough credits for math and science until they told me they just wouldnt consider certain courses because they're too specified

[chrome mulch]

yeah, they have to be specific (not in that sense) to count. Did you take the calc AP exams? Or normal science AP exams (physics, bio, chem?)

[olive summit]

I did but they never asked for those, didn't pass them though

[fast sorrel]

Guys i have a simple question is it sensible to study sat or ap to study in germany?

[olive summit]

AP environmental science has one of the hardest ones unfortunately

[chrome mulch]

no

[olive summit]

and its probably the least specialized actually lol

contains topics from biology chemistry etc.

was even more frustrating when the uni literally told me I'm probably more qualified than most applicants but their hands were tied since they didnt have the "legal power" to overturn uni assists decision despite uni assist claiming the opposite

[fast sorrel]

Hzb is when you apply to a university major at your home country this gives you the chance to study the same major in germany too right ?

[olive summit]

it's in the past, it just amazed me how difficult the whole process was even though I was physically in the country and town the sole uni I applied to was in. Can't imagine the stress from someone applying abroad

[chrome mulch]

yeah, it sucks that it turned out so shitty.

[fast sorrel]

in order for me to study computer engineering in germany i have to be qualified to study computer engineering in turkey too right?

[olive summit]

think I'm happier in my Ausbilding though, universities are often a bubble and keep you from experiencing the rest of the country

[inner hornet]

As in your you gotta have a high school cert where you def passed all subs in your major exam (i think, for the min, could be higher)

Idk you gotta check daad to see if they have subject specific requirements

[inner hornet]

I'd say on a scale of A-E with F as fail...i mean im referencing the Alevel scale but yea most NCs especially in high ranking unis are at about B+ grades could be lower tho but to be on the safe side of things

I mean im taking 2,3 as the threshold here

I can def give you a more exact number after my grades get converted tho but that will be in dec

[tight sky]

its easy to find NC

just research

for international students tbh i think anything past 2.0 will make things difficult

while 1.5 or better for sure get u a spot

but idk...some friend of mine got rejected with a 1.2 lol shit happens depends from uni

[next hull]

It's easy to find NC for something, because a large number if courses doesn't have any NC (at least for Germans, not sure how this related to international students, though). But there are fields, courses and - yes - universities where NC are extremely high, most famously medicine, psychology and some other medicine-related fields. If your friend applied for something from this category, the rejection would basically be business as usual. That's one reason why a lot of Germans interested in these fields - but without the necessary grades - seem to leave Germany temporarily to study in other countries with lower NC, like Austria and Hungary.

[tight sky]

it was biotechnology

which no way in hell has a higher NC than 1.6-1.7

you make it look like Austria is easy to get into lol wtf

university of vienna has one of the hardest processes ive heard

especially for medicine

they make it IMPOSSIBLE for jnternational students

[next hull]

I have no personal experience with this, especially regarding international students. But for Germans as EU citizens the process does not seem especially hard. As a lot of seats in those countries seem to be occupied by Germans, Hungary in particular is said to have implemented a system where foreigners can come to study, but are then contractually bound to practice as doctors in Hungary for a set number of years after they receive their license. But I have not researched this myself, so no idea how the status on that is.

[tight sky]

keep in mind that for non eu students everythings more complicated

and we get much less spots available

independently from our grades

[tropic geyser]

can someone send me some motivation letter samples for Bachelor's to use as a reference

[proud adder]

Hello everyone. Im moving to Duesseldorf on the 17th of September for my exchange semester at HSD and I am having trouble finding an appartment there. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find an appartment? thank you!

[devout robin]

ebay kleinanzeigen?

[proud adder]

I tried searching there but I found the website to be very rigid and didnt know how to commute on there

[chrome mulch]

I can't think of a website that is less rigid than ebay kleinanzeigen....but have you tried wg-gesucht, immoscout, immowelt?

also....if it is just an exchange semester, wouldn't you rather live in a WG-room?

[proud adder]

yes, also😥 the thing is no one is answering back.

and my university has no available places in their accommodation.

[chrome mulch]

WG-Zimmer?

Or apartment?

[proud adder]

apartment

[chrome mulch]

It's none of my business, I know, but why?

[proud adder]

I guess im scared to try the shared appartment experience. I would rather have my own space

[chrome mulch]

It will certainly be difficult to find someone to rent out an apartment for 6 months because most landlords don't want to have to look for a new tenant again so soon.

maybe you can find something for Zwischenmiete

are you writing your messages in German?

[proud adder]

Ja

and I tried calling them also.

its chaotic

[chrome mulch]

have you gotten any reasoned rejections?

like someone said no and told you why?

[proud adder]

Most of the times I got no responce

and when i get a response back , they tell me it has been rented.

[chrome mulch]

well, you can try the websites. I really wish you the best of luck with it and hopefully you can find a place in the next few weeks. I would recommend learning how to use ebay and sending messages very promptly after the ad has been posted.

[proud adder]

I will try that. Thanks for your help anyways!

[little quail]

Hi guys

I’m 23 and I’m from Iran

I want to immigrate to Germany and I want to study computer science in university

Can I go to university with my diploma or should I pass exams for the university?

[little quail]

My grades aren’t very good

[chrome mulch]

https://www.uni-assist.de/tools/check-hochschulzugang/

check the unis you would be interested in attending and the Bewerbungsprozess.

at many unis there is no NC for Informatik, which means your grades won't really matter (assuming you're qualified to attend uni in the first place)

[little quail]

🙏

[supple valley]

i have a question about visa extension for students, so like i am in koblenz right now and i finished my german C1, and already have a visa and i have to apply for an extension in munich cz thats where i am going for uni, so do I have to show proof of finances like a blocked account or do i have to show current account balance and if so how much should be there in my account?

[bold stump]

a lot of people wanna study biotech / bio in general in ger, far more than industry demand, so this is not super unusual

I'd say biochem/biotech/bio is quite common to have an NC

[hexed knoll]

what is Nc? forgive my ignorance

[potent sierra]

Numerus Clausus. Basically a minimum grade you need to be accepted in that program

[hexed knoll]

oh, i see

[chrome mulch]

are you currently a student?

[tight sky]

okay but the nc cant be 1.2 lol

[hexed knoll]

we also have this thing in ukraine ^-^

[noble lodge]

That is not true. The NC is determined by the last applicant’s average of graduation (e.g. 1,5) who was accepted into a study programme. It varies by year and usually the NC is higher in winter. So it is not a minimum requirement but a statistic number being evaluated after the acceptance process!

[next hull]

But it's also a good indicator about which grade average you have to have to be accepted. If the NC is 1,5 in one year, there is almost no chance you will get in with a 2,0 or even 3,0 the next year.

[noble lodge]

The NC is indeed very helpful for a rough direction but it‘s not a kind of limit below which one’s grade must be in order to be accepted

[cloud anchor]

Starting Ausbildung next week, used to work until now, do i need to pay for Versicherung now or? does anyone know maybe

or can i stay under my parents insurance since im 22?

[supple valley]

i finished my language course and i am going to UNI

[cloud anchor]

or is it covered since im going to some sort of school i guess?

they sent me a questionnaire but im not sure if i should choose:
"i have got a new work" or
"im going to university or school" or
"Ich möchte mich familienversichern."
( im not sure if ausbildung counts as work or school )

thought maybe someone here knows a bit more

[normal zinc]

Does ausbildung provide salary needed to get the visa?

[hexed knoll]

YES BABY, thats what we've been waiting for, thats was all about, congrats mate ^-^

[chrome mulch]

I would assume you still need to show the appropriate amount in the bank account. What that amount is atm you can find online

it was something like 10.000€ (rounded)

but with inflation and increased living costs, they may've changed it

[hexed knoll]

what is it about, may i know? is it the requirement in order to get visa and to study in Germany?

[chrome mulch]

yes, there is a certain amount of money you have to show in a bank account

[hexed knoll]

dam

[tight sky]

for my embassy they changed it

lately within days

but ive opened the account weeks ago

hope they wont kick me out after 2 days in my appointment

[olive summit]

if you're already on their insurance it shouldnt be taken from your salary

[cloud anchor]

i was under my works insurance up until now

[olive summit]

then choose the family option in the letter they sent you, I have TK but im sure others have similar forms to fill out

[edgy kraken]

Do Studienkolleg need a general entrance exam?

Sorry answered my own question

[exotic barn]

what are some of the reasons people transfer from a FHS to a Uni and vice versa?

[hexed knoll]

i just had a chat with a woman who lives here in Germany for a quite long time, and so told me finding the job easier if i finish Berufschule rather than finishing university

[inner hornet]

@hexed knoll what type of job do you want tho

I think thats bs

[hexed knoll]

so it depends

isee

[olive summit]

an Ausbildung at the Berufsschule will give you good connections since its highly practical

and many trainees continue working at the company they did their ausbildung at

most uni programs require an internship or two but that's not the same as being fully employed at a company

[versed crow]

So i checked for the requirements for my country to enroll in a german uni, turns out my highschool degree will qualify me to a "subject-restricted admission to a preparatory course/the Feststellungsprüfung (university qualification exam)" is that the same thing as a Studienkolleg? and am i supposed to first apply to a course like that something like a TI-course then from there apply to my desired course or am i supposed to apply first to the course i wanna attend and they're the ones who will refer me to Studienkolleg that i'll attend. im sorry if im not being clear im just pretty confused

[tight sky]

is studentenwerk flexible when u get a room?

i mean i have got one i need to pay the deposit now within 5 days and then i gotta go personally by 5th of october

u think i can make a request to make them let me go on 6th or 7th

[chrome mulch]

this is an issue which you need to take up with them via phone or email.

[stone gate]

Hello friends had a quick query,

Today I received my Germán residence permit allowing me to continue my studies. Along with the physical card they also provided me with a loose paper (some supplementary sheet i believe where its mentioned about the 16b stuff 120 days or 240 half days work entitlement, no freelancing etc).

So do I need to carry both the card and the paper sheet wherever I travel/go around Germany/Schengen countries? I mean for other countries yes passport is an add on, but the supplementary sheet?

[plain orbit]

Don't think so that's just for your reference

[humble bough]

if I remember from when i got something like this, they told me you needed both of them on you to count as your residence permit. That said, I've never been asked for my residence permit when traveling within Schengen.

[stone gate]

?

source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_residence_permit

[humble bough]

I would keep them both together wherever you keep them

[olive summit]

keep it in your passport only bring it when absolutely necessary

[humble bough]

also a good approach

[stone gate]

oh I see..so usually I'll just carry around my residence permit physical card right? for travelling within Germán borders?

[humble bough]

For traveling within Germany I've never needed my card, ig if I got into issues with the police it could be a thing? but you're allowed to say you keep your passport/this form at home afaik

[stone gate]

I mean i am not comfortable travelling every time with a passport. Fear of getting robbed or stolen something innit

[humble bough]

if you're traveling into/out of Schengen definitely bring it along with your passport, though.

That's the only time they've checked mine and you definitely need both the card and the sheet of paper for that.

[olive summit]

bring another form of ID, it's too risky to carry your residence permit everywhere

[stone gate]

yes definitely..but within Germany\ border limits ig I will be fine keeping it at my home safe ig

[olive summit]

and within germany no one will ask for it anyway

[humble bough]

within Germany you're almost definitely fine

[stone gate]

ehhhh 😦..i do carry my student uni id everywhere..and my TK insurance id

[humble bough]

for other within-Schengen travel I'd bring it with me to be safe, but I'd bring my passport too so I'm just more cautious about being sure I have the right docs for that

[stone gate]

right

[humble bough]

I carry my residence card in my wallet and I'm not super worried on that front, but I also just usually use it as ID lol

[stone gate]

so now I'll just keep the loose paper pamphlet inside the passport book (at home) and carry the residence permit card in my wallet for my everyday (within Germany) purpose

and for Schengen travel, the passport, the loose sheet and the residence permit card

[rough loom]

ok im a little nervous as im going to Germany for the first time ever since learning German, are there any unspoken rules that i should know of? i am worried my speech will be impolite 😭 what is tipping like? any tips for daily life or getting around? how do i talk to servers and staff without coming off as rude 🥺 and importantly are there any phrases like ‘have a nice day’ in Germany i can learn, i want to show my thanks to staff properly as i know serving tourists all day is tough

it’s actually really stressing me haha even though it will be fine, i really want to be nice but i have never visited since i started learning and just have no clue about what the culture is actually like, just what i know from class and exchange students and i want to be a little prepared

[noble lodge]

Tipping: Rule of thumb 10% but the better the service, the higher the tip. It is not necessary but is a sign of showing how well the service has been at your restaurant visit.
Example: The bill is 17,80€ (10%=1,70€) but I'd round it up to 20€ roughly

A good way to start talking to servers is: "Entschuldigen Sie, ..."

[rough loom]

thank you! i read online to give the tip directly to the server and to not leave it on the table like we would do in England, is this true? or does it not matter 🥰

[noble lodge]

That's how it is. Usually you give them your desired amount and say "Das stimmt so/Das passt so" to indicate you dont want any change. Or you just say the amount of the bill with included tips and the staff will give you the rest back in cash 🙂

"Ich wünsche Ihnen noch einen angenehmen/schönen Tag" (at the end of a conversation)

The politest way to say thanks is "Vielen Dank"

[rough loom]

thank you that makes sense !! ☺️☺️ i feel a little less nervous already

im sure it will all come to me after a while of being there

[noble lodge]

Sure, just enjoy your visit!

If you have any further questions feel free to reach out to me anytime

[rough loom]

thank you so much :) !!

[tight sky]

ugh

btw guys do u know if in 2nd or 3rd year depending when i got to renew the residence permit in germany

must i have the sperrkonto again or can i show them like half of it and in case I work also a job contract

[humble bough]

you have to have proof of financing, so I think generally a job contract should suffice. It certainly did for me. However, I think the ausländerbehörde has a lot of discretion on this, so it might vary depending on which one you're visiting.

I've heard that in Berlin they don't even care about you proving you can still finance things for renewals, but I heard this from the guy in Potsdam who was shittalking the Berlin ausländerbehörde the whole time so

[tight sky]

ugh

I will be in Dresden

Im mostly scared about fonancing and nothing else

cause I know I cannot afford 35k deposits 3×11k whatever

without working a single day

[strong sky]

i have a doubt, i think i know the answer but i just wanted to confirm
so i know germany offers a lot of masters programs in english as well as german

am i right in thinking the german masters are easier to get into, solely because most people dont want to trouble themselves with c1 german just to study for 2 years

[chrome mulch]

I wouldn't assume this assumption is correct, because many german students don't want to study in English.

and overall there will be many more german students than international students at the master level in the first place.

[strong sky]

thats fair, i thought the amount of applicants would differ with a german masters vs an english speaking masters
for the latter, id have to compete with a global set of applicants whereas the former would be just from the DACH countries at max, and few others who know C1-- that is what i assume

i am also guessing there are preferences for german speaking students in german taught masters

[chrome mulch]

afaik there is no discrimination or set amount of places for international students within german-speaking master programs. So long as one has the proper qualifications (grade, finishing certificate, language certificate) one's chances ought be as good as anyone else's. It is likely to depend much more on the field than on the language of study.

[viscid coral]

Hello

[dire copper]

Hast du irgendwelche Unis im Sinn?

[viscid coral]

Ja

[dire copper]

Die Kriterien können zwischen Unis variieren

[viscid coral]

Tech uni Munich
Ludwig Maxillian uni

[dire copper]

Du solltest ihrer Website sehen, ob sie spezifische Kriterien haben

[viscid coral]

Und vieles mehr

[dire copper]

z.B ein Sprachzertifikat

[viscid coral]

Ja, aber

[strong sky]

ah okay, i was just wondering if me taking the extra effort to learn academic german would not increase my chances in a german uni haha

[covert spoke]

Zuerst musst du sehen ob dein diplom anerkannt wird

[viscid coral]

Keiner von ihnen erwähnt den cgpa

[dire copper]

Hängt von der Uni ab

[viscid coral]

Und ich habt 7 cgpa

[covert spoke]

Ich habe zuvor ihnen einige male geschrieben um info zu bekommen

Sie antworten in 2-3 Tagen

[viscid coral]

antworten sie?

Ohh

[covert spoke]

Aber wie gesagt

Es hängt von den unis ab

[viscid coral]

Hmm

[dire copper]

Manchmal sind deine Schulnoten, bzw. CGPA egal

[viscid coral]

Gilt ein Notendurchschnitt von 7 allgemein als gut?

[viscid coral]

Was!!!
Warum nicht?

Das ist sehr schlecht

[covert spoke]

Ich habe keine Idee weil ich nicht studiere

[viscid coral]

Ohh

[chrome mulch]

it depends what you want to do. But also keep in mind that your choice of programs will be much broader with german-speaking options. I would say, though, at the master level it's not unrealistic to study in english.

[strong sky]

masters in CS

yeah the choice is better, plus w cs i hear there are also english lectures sometimes, even with it being a german degree

[chrome mulch]

yeah that is true

learning german to C1 though is time consuming. idk how far out you are

[plain orbit]

What hierchen said. It also varies wildly between unis and fields. I think it would help more with admissions to get internship experience etc, since germany generally value that more than most countries

[primal prairie]

woaa really? (music to my ears). have you had lectures sometimes being taught in englisch then?

[chrome mulch]

not so far for me. But I think at some point in the 4th semester there's the option to take a machine learning class in english

might be a few other ones

[plain orbit]

Learning german before would help you in your every day life but unless you can have C1 qualification and actually be good at using the language it wouldn't really help with admissions i think

[strong sky]

yeah we have that mandatory for our uni course anyway

[plain orbit]

Good

[strong sky]

i understand that

[plain orbit]

Get in good grace with your professors and supervisors. Get those letters of recommendation

[strong sky]

it all be tough, so i was really rethinking my german learning decisions

it all depends on what uni i would like to go, but so far i am seeing german taught masters

[silk osprey]

Is a Vorabzustimmung zum Visum given for an Ausbildung?

[exotic barn]

Odds of flying to Germany, getting a job within three months, and getting a work visa?

[obtuse sorrel]

I need a place to live in Pforzheim, if anyone can help, please contact

[chrome mulch]

would depend heavily on your field and other factors (Read: german abilities)

[exotic barn]

Ay I got some questions about Germany can any of y’all help a homie out

[plain orbit]

Just ask your questions here

[exotic barn]

Yea I would but it’s mildly private unfortunately

[inner hornet]

What topics does it concern

[olive brook]

what is a good German movie that is not about German history

other than run lola run

or funny games

[plain orbit]

Ich bin dein Mensch

[olive brook]

danke

[tight sky]

is there much left to do

after u finish with visa and housing

i have 1 more month time im stressing if i forgot anything

[forest mauve]

Does anyone know how to pursue a career as a pre-school teacher in Germany as a foreigner?

As in if you need a bachelors degree in teaching? Or is a certificate of qualification enough? And the language level?

[south wraith]

It's definitely possible if your qualifications fit the German standards for teachers and of course you have to be on a very high level when it comes to your german skills. I've just read that it's very complicated to make those applications and often doesn't work as planned

I think the best would be if you contact the BAMF for more information

[civic crag]

Currency exchange, Forex card, packing, tickets.

[olive summit]

anyone else have bad experiences with dpd

DHL: carries our 20 kilo animal food up 2 flights of stairs
DPD: cant wait 2 minutes to drop off a tiny lego package 🗿

wym with currency exchange

and forwx card

ill pack my shit 1 day before lmfao

i bought my plane ticket as well...hope visa wont fuck me up

[civic crag]

I am from a non-EU country, so I need to get cash Euro and a foreign travel card for the initial days atleast.

[tight sky]

im non eu too

ah for Euros of course

but i lost it at the forex card

oh a prepaid card

easier definition

I will just get some cash tbh

for October I will need to survive on cash

then by end of month I will have opened the current account...hope by november ill get the money from the sperrkonto or ill starve

[civic crag]

It is recommended to get cash (and card - since it is a lot of cash otherwise) for sustaining atleast a month.

Also, get your train tickets beforehand to avoid the last minute hassle.

Btw, you will be going to which university?

[tight sky]

TU Dresden

I booked my flight on the 3rd

by 5th october I will have the keys at the dorms

hmmm I will need the residence permit first to open a current account I think

[civic crag]

Ohh great. I will be going to Saarland University. My flight is on 27th September

[civic crag]

Yeah you need to enroll to the university and complete city registration to open bank account

[versed crow]

can anyone answer my question

[potent sierra]

Do you mean a studienkolleg?

[versed crow]

yes

for non eu residents

[harsh tundra]

both. it depends on the uni.
In some uni you need to apply directly to studienkolleg and in some u gotta first apply to some bachelor degree, to get the of. U dont really need to worry about it, cuz u can just change uni or bachelor program after you finish ur studienkolleg.

[forest mauve]

General question, but what are our thoughts on au pair?

hi, what is the difference between the "normal university" and "university of applied science"?

[versed crow]

So i would like to apply for Ti-course, should i first choose my uni of choice then see if it has a studienkollegen if not apply for any other institute am i supposed to apply for multiple ones? if this information is trivial i apologize

Here's a list of stk and which courses they offer
https://www.studienkollegs.de/Kontaktdaten.html

If u wanna ask something about stk just dm me
I'm currently in second sem T kurs.

may i also dm u abou stk in the future?

[real bolt]

i am from the US of A and intending to apply for a language visa and am concerned about my letter of motivation being convincing , is anyone here able to give some insight 😵‍💫 there is also the complication that i am going to be financially supported by my German boyfriend as opposed to having $10k in a frozen account, i hear it is frowned upon to be getting a lang visa when you have a s/o here?

[hexed knoll]

is that fury on your pfp?

[versed crow]

asking the important questions here

[hexed knoll]

yeah im sorry

[hexed knoll]

😔

[hexed knoll]

😔

[warm hare]

Is it true that a lot of german unis prioritize foreigners who have A2-B1 at least level German?

[hexed knoll]

ithink starting from b1

[warm hare]

damn time to start studying

[potent sierra]

For German taught Programmes the requirements are usually C1

[harsh tundra]

Sure, why not

[hexed knoll]

yeah it actually depends what u want, if u want abitur u need c1, if studkolleg b1-c1

[warm hare]

What is difference between abitur and studkolleg

[hexed knoll]

cprrect if om wrong

[hexed knoll]

so if your secondary school certificate is not recognised in Germany, you need to go to studienkolleg first, basically studkolleg is preparatory course before uni, after finishing studkolleg u can attend university

studkolleg last for 1 year

[warm hare]

oh

how do i check if its recognized

[hexed knoll]

yeah

theres a website

[hexed knoll]

please anyone help him

idk tbh

im sorry 😔

[warm hare]

its ok

[hexed knoll]

http://anabin.kmk.org/anabin.html

[hexed knoll]

tho its in german

[warm hare]

I only see college and uni degrees

what abt highschool

[limpid hinge]

which country did you get your high school diploma?

[warm hare]

USA, California

[limpid hinge]

heres the info if you're looking for direct admission into a Uni if u want to pursue a STEM degree

this is standard for all universities in the US and as well as in Germany

If you don't qualify you have to go to studienkolleg

I am also from California too!

[warm hare]

Okay, so based off of this list I’m pretty sure I have almost all of those already done

And I’m in my last year of HS

[warm hare]

I did biology, chemistry, and forensic science, I think that covers science right?

[limpid hinge]

@warm hare which AP tests have you taken and what scores did you get on them?

I am also in my last year of HS

rn self studying German in order to take the B2 Exam and pass that

[warm hare]

Still haven’t taken AP tests yet

First year doing APs x(

[warm hare]

For studienkolleg can you apply for WG or are you likely to not get accepted? Or is it not an option?

[versed crow]

for sdk when should i start applying

[trail laurel]

Does anyone know about the aerospace Masters Programme of TU Braunschweig and FH Aachen? And which is better ?

In German Universities, do we have to decide our core module at the start of the studies from what are available?

[trail laurel]

Why is it that @chrome mulch and Microsoft Windows aka @next hull answer immediately to questions from other people but my question takes eternity? 😤😤😤

[plain orbit]

It really depends if anyone can answer your questions or not

[chrome mulch]

yeah like a super specific question about aerospace engineering at 2 unis T_T I could just make something up.

[chrome mulch]

apply for living in a Wohngemeinschaft? Or did you mean something totally different?

[warm hare]

Yea

Like how does housing work

[chrome mulch]

you can live in a WG, it has nothing to do with the university

[warm hare]

In studienkolleg

Ok 👍

I thought WG was owned by unis I’m dumb lol

[chrome mulch]

Studentenwohnheim = 'dormitory' (sorta)
Wohngemeinschaft (WG) = shared flat

[primal prairie]

where do i find statewise divided Unis which offer courses in German for international students?

daad shows barely 300 for bachelors

and only 10 only in german. there's surely more

[chrome mulch]

do you mean a degree program in german?

[primal prairie]

je

[chrome mulch]

I see now that my question was also ambiguous: do you mean

1. you want to major in german
2. you are looking for german taught degree programs (if so: in what field)
   and followup: what do you mean for international students?

all german bachelors accept international students

[primal prairie]

for 2 and in informatik
