#

how far in advance do German landlords typically ask for a rental deposit

#

like say my move in is April 1st is there a limit or norm to how much before then they want by the deposit by

#

for my current place they only asked 2 days before but they weren't strict about it so I don't have much to go off on

hidden briar
#

first third with the start of the rent contract, 2nd third a month later, 3rd third a month after that

mild quiver
#

and if the deposit is all at once is the normal just at the start?

#

current description I'm looking at is "Kaution entweder bar oder Bankbürgschaft auf erste Anforderung ohne Vorbehalt der Einrede. Kautionsversicherungen werden nicht akzeptiert." and although I understand the last sentence I'm not sure about the first's exact meaning

hidden briar
#

you can if you want, but afaik it can't be demanded

when i saw this channel i thought dach meant "roof"

How much is shipping usually in Germany for a small envelope?

#

Like if I were to ship from Germany to another German city

#

1-2oz if that helps with anything

faint plaza
#

Oz doesn’t help

pale saddle
#

Well the imperial units dont help me

faint plaza
#

Kg would be useful

pale saddle
#

70 cents is standard for a letter

faint plaza
#

If it is a small package maximum 7€

#

Package not letter

pale saddle
#

2 oz is 56g

#

You can send something in an envelope for 0.85€ (up to 50g) or 1.45€ (up to 500g)

Greetings! Is there anyone from Leipzig? Need advice from local ^^

just post the question and someone might answer

empty moon
#

I'm from Czech republic, me and 2 other people are thinking about attending metal concert in Leipzig. It will start at 20:00 and will probably end at like 23:00?
We would like to have a rest somewhere (especially for the driver) before we hit the road again in the early morning. What are our options here? Any cheap places for 1 night? It could be like for 6-7 hours only. What about sleeping in car, are there any "more legal"places where it could work out?
Thanks in advance

#

I read that sleeping in car in Germany is not strictly illegal IF it's only for purpouse of regaining energy of driver (just like 1 night), not a caravan (just a car)

#

Is it right?

faint plaza
#

@empty moon you try an hotel,hostel

#

Normally those are cheap for a night

empty moon
#

Yeah, I thought so. That's why I would like to ask someone

hi everyone, can someone clear out some doubts about health insurance? As far as I know if I have a PhD position (TV-L E13 paying scale), they will take a certain amount from my brutto income automatically, right. When I look for health insurances they compare them based on their monthly price, for example HKK wants around 70 € per month. Is this monthly payment additional to the percentage they already take off my income, or what?

hidden briar
#

it should be 14,6% of your gross income (split between your employer and you) plus the Zusatzbeitrag between 0.1% and 1%

exotic barn
#

so, they just take the money in the first place, I don't need to make any extra payment myself, right?

hidden briar
#

yes

Hallo, I have a question about "duale Ausbildung". Is there an official (even unofficial, but legitimate) website where I can access to and apply for all available schools offering dual education?
If there's none, how could I apply for dual education in Germany?
Extra question: is Goethe Institut's certificate valid for my German proficiency?
Vielen Dank im Voraus.

tight kelp
#

Wait for someone else to answer the first part but yes, a goethe institut certificate is certainly valid

hidden briar
#

Ausbildung im dualen System or duales Studium? For Ausbildung don't worry about a school, find a company that offers it

sick imp
#

I'd like to point out that "valid" depends on the institution. TU Wien didn't accept Goethe until recently, for example. It's always best to ask, though most people should accept Goethe and hopefully list the certificates that they accept on their website.

tame forum
#

but its only for the state of bayern.

#

there are 2 types of duales studium....... have to each company wher u might want to work, and THEN to the unis. and teh companies might call you for an interview and other stuff. so firstly- its better if you are in germany, and secondly, the months before you can apply to companies. you are still not late and entirely depends on the luck. nonethless visit the website for all kinds of differences between the 2 kindsof duales studium.

barren cipher
#

@tight kelp @hidden briar @sick imp @tame forum Thank you all. Herzilichen Dank fuer eure Muehe.
It seems to be more complicated than it appears so already. I have no idea what is the difference between the two.

I don't know if anyone wrote to you like this, but bear with me, don't want to waste your time. Thanks for your patience and reading in advance.

I would like to apply to anything IT-related, probably Informatik, I think. I've been self-studying Web Development, and in programming one doesn't require a degree.

I don't want to study Master in a German uni. Don't like Papierkram, don't like researching about things nobody cares and gather dust in archives, and don't have the money to survive if I ever be in Germany, even with a part-time job. Yeah, I know in German it's free and there are free programmes in English too. I'm no European, still too expensive for me. (And I'm damn sure they will demand me to go through a preparatory college located in Germany, that allows no part-time job, which means there 'you're dead, son!')

Duale Ausbildung is the way for me (to each their own. Sorry about criticizing unis, just not my cup of tea), where I prefer get immediate, direct, no-bullshit, first hand experience with the reality of German work environment, its economy, and earn money in a relevant job while getting educated and work experience . I don't care how much social prestigious a master degree might give, only care about quality practical education, and no need to work in an irrelevant part-time job.

And some extra info, if it helps: I have IELTS (7.5 out of 9);can speak German adequately (though rusty nowadays); know Russian, Turkish, and French. I just turned 27 old.

tame forum
#

wait so do you have a bachelors degree?

barren cipher
#

Yeah, have a bechlors degree long time ago (and I'm sure they won't accept it anyway). Please I don't want to study in uni XD (even if they gave me scholarship, let alone accepting my degree). I need a plain relevant job and solid practical education with applied science .

tame forum
#

AFAIK (i dont live in germany and could be wrong) and the type of course you want wherein one spends time only in a work setting and learn exists for "Handwerker" type professions like (plumber , Electricians etc.) . for more STEM related stuff people opt for Unis with duales studium to get the experience part of it.

#

anyone please feel free to correct me.

#

and regarding your bachelors degree, why do you think it wont get accepted in a University.

barren cipher
#

I'm pretty sure there is such education for IT field too.
Lass es, I'm not into uni. I just hope there is something for IT in Duale Ausbildung.
My bachelor is STEM related, Electrical Engineering. Though I was a mediocre student back then. Didn't like anything about it, finally concluded that programming is for me instead.

tame forum
#

yah it possibly does exist there are tons of Ausbildung courses

barren cipher
#

Question is: how can I find them, apply, and stay in contact? I already feel confused by all the google research.

tight kelp
#

To immigrate into Germany from outside the eu you need to have enough funds to prove to the government that you can sustain yourself. The only way out I see is trying to find a job in Germany from outside, with a company willing to sponsor you moving to Germany.

solemn bay
#

I don't think you need any qualifications to find a job in something like IT, right?

#

It might help but I don't think you need it.

tight kelp
#

Unless you have a scholarship or something, I don't think studying in Germany is possible without enough funds saved up

It's probably easier to find eine Ausbildung from inside Germany too, right? If you try to get a job first and then look for that.

Ich habe gesehen, dass TestDaF mal 100 Euros weniger als die C1 Prüfung von Goethe Institut kostet. Gibt es dann je einen guten Grund, warum man nicht den TestDaF für C1 wählen sollte?

tight kelp
#

mit TestDaF kannst du kein Niveau wählen, du schreibst einfach den Test und du bekommst ein Niveau je nach Ergebnissen

quiet idol
#

Ist das nicht eigentlich immer auch ein Vorteil?

tight kelp
#

oder eher eine Bewertung, die mehr oder weniger an einem CEFR-Niveau zugeordnet werden kann

quiet idol
#

im schlechtesten Fall würde ich B2 statt C1 bekommen, anstatt dass ich nichts bekommen hätte

foggy prism
#

das klingt eigentlich echt angenehm, ich muss allerdings sagen, dass ich, vor ich auf diesen Server bin, nie was von anderen Tests als Goethe gehört hab

tight kelp
#

ja, imo ist TestDaF besser. Aber ob das für dich geht kommt drauf an die Einrichtung bzw. Unternehmen wofür du das Zertifikat brauchst

foggy prism
#

(was relevant ist weil prestige)

quiet idol
#

also gibt es Unternehmen, die den TestDaF nicht akzeptieren?

tight kelp
#

kA

quiet idol
#

vielleicht ist es dann sicherer, die Goethe C1 Prüfung zu bestehen, weil obwohl ich eher nur 170 Euros statt 270 bezahlen möchte, trotzdem wäre 270 besser als 440....

exotic barn
#

I’m not sure about the prestige. More unis accept TestDaF than Goethe afaik.

quiet idol
#

That is pretty bullshit that you even have to waste money on more than one C1 exam just to be able to apply to everywhere.

exotic barn
#

I think TestDaF and DSH are accepted everywhere but I’m not 100% sure. Goethe maybe too but most unis require Goethe C2

tight kelp
#

well, it is bullshit but it can't be helped unless a standard can be agreed upon and trusted globally by all, which is not a thing that happens often in our world

tame forum
#

yah i never got this too..... C2 is like God tier german, where for most uni purposes C1 shud be more than enuf

tight kelp
#

btw if you have the option between several tests, aside from price, the way it unfolds is a factor

#

for example some peopel are averse to how testdaf's spoken section is done by talking to a mic and not a person

tame forum
#

what fr? theres no real person?

tight kelp
#

C2 is like God tier german, where for most uni purposes C1 shud be more than enuf
cefr levels are not set in stone, so each test determines its own parameters for considering someone at a level or not. If unis think that a test is too loose or fallible they'll require a higher level for that test than others

#

theres no real person?
no. The hearing section is done with recording and the speaking one by having you record several items

#

i mean, there are people there but they don't test you directly

quiet idol
#

C2 level required at unis? I thought DSH-2 was C1 level and that is required usually

tight kelp
#

they just coordinate the test and make things work, but the evaluation happens in Bochum where the files are sent

tame forum
#

if ur planning to take goethe route, then some unis like darmstadt need C2

#

if u take testdaf no uni will reject you with with a 16

quiet idol
#

darmstadt wants DSH-2, which is C1

tame forum
#

yah but from geothe they need C2 cert

tight kelp
#

@quiet idol it depends on the uni. Usually B2 to C1 is required but each sets its own rules. I think what Suzu was referring to was that they may require different levels depending on what certificate you bring. And btw i don't know if it actually happens

tame forum
#

wait lemme check real quick once again

tight kelp
#

as for the reasons why that would be the case, see above

quiet idol
#

ok, I read for Darmstadt they wanted you to take C1 from Goethe or TestDaF and apply with those, and then get DSH-2 until immatriculation

tame forum
#

ohh. where did you read you can apply with a C1?

#

oh nvm found it

barren cipher
#

@tight kelp @quiet idol @tame forum I cannot believe with my own eyes, reading here about C1 and C2? Unless we're talking about PhD or manager position, why the hell there is a need for such an ridiculously high level? What's next, to be able to speak 6 different languages, be able to cook, clean, and juggle? hahah
While on the other hand, when it's about English programmes I mostly read the least amount of IELTS score required is 6-6.5 up to master. I don't get the logic of German education at all.

tight kelp
#

the logic of everything in our society is that wherever there isn't a global rule, everyone makes their own

#

it's as simple as that

tacit briar
#

since when is C1 a high level? Many people around me claim that I'm "at least C1" and I feel I can barely communicate

barren cipher
#

@tacit briar I don't believe it. Can they recite any Goethe's work smoothly then?

tight kelp
#

what people say is irrelevant, to be honest. C1 is a high level, but it's not as outlandish as Seeker makes it sound

#

cefr levels have nothing to do with knowing literature

barren cipher
#

For me a C1 can debate in that language well.

tacit briar
#

I just mean, if people are right, and I am C1, then I don't think C1 is a high level that is enough for communication in an environment like academia

#

(just my opinion, feel free to disagree)

quiet idol
#

@barren cipher I kid you not, I applied for an airport job, and the English test for that consisted of "write down the English or German words for the folllowing words: Flughafen, exit"

#

English requirements in Germany are fucking ridiculously low even for jobs and uni programmes that should require extremely good English

barren cipher
#

That's how I assess personally: accent-free, can talk profoundly - not just chitchat, and knows ins and outs of the applied use of language (like be able to use and understand lots of idioms; language is not separate from its culture).
If organizations and institutes want to flatter us by exaggerating our proficiency, von mir aus, good, I can brag about it. But personally, I won't take anyone with such degree alone seriously myself.

solemn bay
#

Having an accent is irrelevant though.

#

You can be perfectly fluent, as fluent as a native speaker, and still have an accent.

barren cipher
#

@quiet idol Guess you have to apply for a English programme. I saw some free ones.

quiet idol
#

some jobs specifically require "no accent", e.g. call centers

solemn bay
#

That's a specific job requirement though. It's nothing to do with cefr level.

tacit briar
#

you can also have no accent and still hurt grammar very hard 😄

barren cipher
#

@solemn bay I don't want to burn extra calorie on accent. Nobody speaks like another one, everyone is unique. Please get what I meant by accent. And I said "personally". I don't judge a person by it, but I find it kinda annoying, and actually expect someone who calls him/herself a "C1" at least sound transparent as if being a native.

solemn bay
#

That's not a realistic expectation.

barren cipher
#

To each their own, lad.

tacit briar
#

CEFR says, that C1:
" Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer clauses, and recognize implicit meaning.
Can express ideas fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions.
Can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes.
Can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices."

#

which looks like a reasonable requirement for academia

solemn bay
#

Yes, that seems like a reasonable expectation for a university student.

@vital glade Our national Egyptian post service has countless incidents in failing to deliver the acceptance letters from unis in Germany to people in Egypt, so what most people do is they write the address of someone they know already living in Germany and that person can send them the letter later through private shipping services. The point is that you don't have to write your real current address neither must you receive the letter in person from the uni. If you're sure you're going to Germany on June 11th and know the address you're going to, I think it will be fine to write that instead. If you're however not sure, you can contact the unis you're applying to and describe your situation. Just google (uni name + international office) and email them.

so this website for finding apartments to rent (immobilienscout24.de) is asking me whether I have "Bewerbungsunterlagen vorhanden" in order to contact a Vermieter. What is meant by Bewerbungsunterlagen here? I have already given information about my income and work status so surely this isn't about work-related documents?

solemn bay
#

I'm just guessing but could it be like, character references from previous Vermieter?

tight kelp
#

apparently they (at least this site) collectively refers to all documentation Mieter have or may be asked to present as Bewerbungsunterlagen... calling it bewerbung is bad taste imo 😅

#

so essentially it's asking me whether I have proof of my income, but it may also be something else

no

it is like

it's fair to want to know something of whom you'll rent your property to, but there must a limit to how much people have to subject themselves just to have a place to stay. If people had more reservations about that, renters wouldn't be able to afford bossing people around

Hey so weird question lmao

#

How is Kristina Bach and her music viewed in Germany?

#

Do people think her music is cheesy at all?

#

Because I kinda do

#

Something about the lyrics “erst ein Cappuccino, dann ein bisschen vino, und dann sehr viel duuUUU“ is really...

#

idk really how to describe it

#

idek if my question makes sense

#

also the tune of her music is really cartoon-like, which adds to my reasoning behind asking this question lol

#

😂

tame forum
#

knowing germans they would definitely find it cheesy

Mit "certificate of health", ist da diese Belehrung von der Stadt gemeint oder soll ich mir da vom Arzt was ausschreiben lassen?

#

@plucky swan I'm not sure what the people think about her, but I remember hearing that song in the radio, so I think there have to be some who like it 😂 I personally find it not too bad, let's be honest, half of the Helene Fisher's lyrics are similarly dumb 😉 and she's ultra popular

@golden galleon serki already showed you the numbers. But since I live in Ulm area, feel free to ask questions about the city. I didn't study here, but I know a few people who studied CS/IT or similar here, so may be also able to answer some questions about the Uni.

i am not sure how many of you here might know about "TestAS" its an aptitude test (kind of like an IQ test) where they check your cognitive skills..... is this test really important, has anyone one of you, who might have applied in a university ever heard/needed it?

tight kelp
#

never heard of it, but i doubt it'd be needed for anything at least in the eu

#

i think you need it for the army/police/etc but they most likely have their own tests

#

you definitely don't need that for university

#

just like you don't need an iq test, and thank fuck for that since they're useless and random

tame forum
#

yah i checked one of the unis in germany that "asked" it but wasnt compulsory. their reason being to increase your chances of admission if ur non Eu

#

i chanced upon this on the DAADS website

afaik even canada has a similar thing, where my freinds gave a Euclids exam (really tough) in order to get a scholarship. i believe this is the german equivalent

#

Well, I'm currently on a student visa taking the language course and I'm looking for media jobs in Germany, specifically in Bavaria because my partner lives there. Some folks have been a bit negative and said it's impossible as I'm not from the EU and media industry doesn't require anyone from outside of Germany/EU. So I'm worried that by the time my course ends, I won't be able to find a job here and unable to stay here with my partner.

#

Sorry if it was really hefty or unrelated to the chat/discord group. I just want to get it off my chest at the moment

#

@agile fable i‘m not from EU and by nationality, I am from a third world country.

Technically I guess, I‘m an expat (though perhaps the word immigrant would fit better) but I found the job as a technological consultant right now using a German degree (did my master‘s and got a C1 language cert at the same time)

Job-wise, from what I‘ve been hearing and seen so far, being fluent in at least B1+ can get you quite far in getting a job. Less than that, and many are quite reluctant to take you in, even in a job that doesn‘t require a German degree. (though not impossible)

I have no idea whether the media industry would have more jobs with your background though (we also have no idea what yours is...)

In Germany, the best way to get a job from the ground up, is most likely the Ausbildung route. Which you can ask pretty much every German I think. You can‘t ask me that I‘m afraid, since I don‘t know much...

Anyway if you‘d like to talk more about related stuff, you can DM me about it.

#

@compact slate gotta read the website on it more, but it seems to me it‘s more like a service to figure out where best to do your undergraduate based on the uni capacity, level of competence, etc. and you do an interview with them to match what the current „supply“ with your „demand“ is

compact slate
#

So it is an interview of sorts?

#

Did anyone go through one and can elaborate on the process?

#

Ask the Germans

#

I never used it, so I can‘t say

#

Im amazed how we sent people to the moon centuries ago but we still dont have any working medicine against a cold

foggy prism
#

not really that surprising imo. the moon is a very predictable thing. the cold is ever-changing

tame forum
#

what do you mean by "moon is a very predictable thing"?

foggy prism
#

well, it doesn’t suddenly jump to another place in the sky, does it?

#

we can compute exactly where it’ll be in 5 minutes (or 5 years)

#

or at least to a good enough accuracy to land a rocket

#

by the time a cure for some strain of the cold has been developed, it’s probably already evolved

#

and since there’s more than one strain, it can keep coming back even if you wipe out one strain

#

you’d have to kill it all at once

#

pretty much the only way I can see that happening is if you place everyone into isolation, which I think there’s a what-if about

#

I can’t find it though

That's a cool idea.

maybe it’s in the book?

okay, so, “Dr. Mackay said that this idea is actually somewhat reasonable, from a purely biological point of view. He said that rhinoviruses - and other RNA repsiratory viruses - are completely eliminated from the body by the immune system; they do not linger after infection. Furthermore, we don’t seem to pass any rhinovirusesback and forth with animals, which means there are no other species that can serve as reservoirs of our colds. If rhinoviruses don’t have enough humans to move between, they die out.”

#

then there’s an example given where we see this in action - some islands where there’d be an infection wave when foreigners came to trade, and then once it was passed, everyone was fine again cause the viruses dies with no new non-resistant hosts to go to

#

ah, but there’s an issue

#

this plan assumes everyone’s immune systems work properly

#

if there’s a person whose immune system can’t wipe out all the viruses, then they might survive in that person and upon breaking the quarantine spread again

tame forum
#

or you could make sure literally everyone on the planet gets the virus, that way everyone could get the resistance like the islanders and it wont get enough time to mutate

Hello. I have a couple of questions that maybe someone here has some insight on. I plan on asking some officials about it, but in due time. I'd just like to have an idea about it before then though. So here goes:
I currently hold a non-EU passport, and I have an Aufenthaltstitel for Germany, been here for 2 years. The Titel is only valid for about 3 more months now before I have to renew it. However, within these 3 months, it's likely that I may get a new passport from another country in the EU. Is it possible to extend my Aufenthalt on this new passport from the other EU country? Or is there a different kind of procedure for this? Any possible problems that could arise from this ?

tight kelp
#

once you have a EU passport you are free to live, move and work within the EU

#

so if you do get that EU passport, that'd be it, as far as I know. And I want to stress that I'm not an expert or anything, but the above is what is certain.

fiery edge
#

So I could just extend my Aufenthalt problemlos? Thanks

exotic barn
#

You don’t need an Aufenthalt if you have an EU passport

You just move and register at the city where you wanna live.

slash is to divide the city code from the rest of the number, dash is for extensions, enter neither when dialing

Yesterday DHL tried to deliver a package to me, but I wasn't at home. They left the usual yellow card with the address of the DHL branch where I can pick up the package from. However, this section is new to me. Does this mean that I have to pay this amount when picking up my package? I know I can always go there and find out but I can't until Monday lol

#

my bad its fine

#

well then head onto the daad website, and search for masters programms, for masters thereare tons of engliish courses

#

another helpful website is hochschule kompass

exotic barn
#

i did and i found alot

tame forum
#

well then?

exotic barn
#

but they said that they will give you just a certificate to come and do some test

#

and you probebly not past it

#

cuz its on deutsch

and i need 9000 euro

#

which certificate are you talking about?

the inviting to come

it will give you just 3 months on visa

you mean the University wants to test you ? and if you pass the test only then you get the admission?

#

i guess so

#

i wanna study in frankfurt so

tame forum
#

ohh. yah i think you are talking about the uni which is really famous for economics....... obviously they will have an entrance test........ as far as i remember, the programme is so popular that it has a restriction.

#

that u need to pass the test

exotic barn
#

what about the law ?

#

is it so famous too ?

tame forum
#

no idea. helpful tip: if the programm has "NC" written anywhere, that means u will have to give a test.

exotic barn
#

what if i cant afoored the 9000euro

tame forum
#

NC= numerus clausus or something......... basically they mean the programm is really popular and you need to sometimes pass a test or register through another website

#

which handles all courses in germany which fall under numerus clauses

exotic barn
#

sorry to ask you againe is that mean if the cours dosnt have the NC

#

i will just need the acception

#

and i will have no test to past ?

tame forum
#

if the course falls under "No restrictions" then u can directly apply

exotic barn
#

then if i got acception i will just entire it ?

tame forum
#

yep

exotic barn
#

even if i got just B1 in deutsch

tame forum
#

if the course is in english, then german requirements dont matter.

exotic barn
#

and if its on german ?

tame forum
#

then C1 or C2

exotic barn
#

i see

and if you wanna study by german i guess you need to study for one yeard

#

well then check the daad scolarships or something then....... i remember a list where there were tons of african countries mentioned

#

whose citizens were eligible for a stipend

exotic barn
#

if i got a daad scholership then i dont need the 9000 euro ?

#

not really sure about that, but if i had to guess...... No then u wont need....... i dont think that daad thinks that someone from africa applying for a stipend can pay 9000 euros for accomodation

hallo deutsche Völker. Ich habe eine Frage über Masterstudium im Deutschland. Wenn man im Deutschland eine Masterstudium macht, ist es eine Erwartung oder Möglichkeit, gleichzeitig zu studieren und arbeiten (berufen?), oder ist das nicht möglich oder sehr schwer. I hope I said that right

@silver vale this depends on what master's degree you're doing; it's extraordinarily common with mine. Depending what sort of residence permit/visa you have and where you're from, you could have limits on how much you can work. Feel free to @-mention me if you want more details and I can find the info they gave out when I started my master's

Ich habe eine Frage für jemanden der sich gut mit den zulassungsvoraussetzungen und NC der deutschen unis auskennt..

#

I can of course just wait and find out but I dont see info on this online. For German Uni i know there is an NC and based on ones grades they are accepted. Now my high school grades I barely even count- I had a GED. But I've already studied 2,5 years at American uni and have a perfect 4,0- so perfect 1,0 in Germany. Will they be looking at this grade on my uni app or the high school one?

#

In short: do German unis care about high school grades if I've already studied at uni, without degree

@silver vale normalerweise von der Ausländerbehörde bekommen ausländische Studenten im Zusatzblatt eine bestimmte Stundenzahl, also, 120 Tage/240 Halbtage im Nebenjob zu arbeiten.

Es kommt danach darauf an, in welcher Firma man arbeitet. Soweit ich weiß, die Firmen beschäftigen die Werkstudenten 20 Stunden/Monat für die Firma zu arbeiten. Es ist aber normalerweise 35/40 Stunden pro Woche in dem Semesterferien (Ich war auch Masterstudent an einer Hochschule)

#

@vital glade leider kenn ich damit nicht so gut aus. Aber hast du schon mit der Amerikanischen-Deutschen Botschaft darüber gefragt? Oder die Uni selbst? (Vielleicht gibt es Uni-Assist oder International Office für ausländische Studenten)

Soweit ich weiß, solange man sein Uni Credits in Deutschland für den Studiengang akkreditieren kann, kannst du einfach weitermachen.

TUM courses for technical subjects is "Unrestricted admission" on paper i think that means anyone can apply to the uni. Although most people drop out after the second and first semester so i guess thats why. @cobalt marsh

#

And TUM isnt THE best.... Its one of the best..... But then the definition of best for everyone is different, determined by what one wants to study, the city in which the uni is etc etc.

noble bone
#

^

hidden briar
#

thats true for most of the popular subjects at universities, there is a lot of filtering in the first year.

noble bone
#

If I‘m not mistaken, German universities are generally held to virtually the same standard, so don‘t concern yourself with what‘s more prestigious and what not. Go for the unis where you think your degree of choice is more focused on / offered „best“, and you also have the location of your uni to consider like Sufficient said.

#

as for English-only bachelor’s courses you are actually quite limited, you may want to browse the thing I linked earlier from the DAAD website

#

but all seem to be unrestricted

tame forum
#

Also keep in mind theres a difference between Unis and Hochschules......former more theoretical, latter more practical based

#

And also the former can give phds

warped atlas
#

@cobalt marsh one of my friends are doing (but I think she‘s done) Masters in Information Tech (or CS, not sure) at TUM, and she came in with only A1.

She told me that about half of the subjects are in German, and she has to learn the language on the side.

I‘m not sure what her level of German was at, but autumn of last year, it didn‘t sound so good yet. Probably A2+ and that ain‘t enough.

She did all the English subjects first, then the German ones in latter semesters.

She also told me that TUM WANTS to have more international students. Especially in that faculty.

cobalt marsh
#

Yes i have one other language with me

#

Also im doing for bachelors not masters

warped atlas
#

I did Masters Informationstechnik at HS Mannheim, which was advertised as a course good for international students, but believe me, 95% of the subjects are in German, and although you can speak English to the professor and other students, they hold the lectures in German

#

Some other internationals

cobalt marsh
#

@noble bone thanks man I'll brows really appreciate the help

warped atlas
#

Start Bachelors as an international student

#

They still have to get B2 or C1 cert by the end of their studies

cobalt marsh
#

All I'm worried about is that do they have English in bachelors?

warped atlas
#

You have around 2 years to go theough all the english subjects

#

Then you HAVE to do the German ones

#

Kurzgesagt, nothing for the entire degree. Partly, yes, but not fully

#

You have a higher chance in the Netherlands probably

#

To find the subject and school

noble bone
#

@cobalt marsh the degree I'm planning to take is International Physics Studies Program (Bachelors) in Leipzig. You don't need any level of German to begin with when enrolling in that degree for example, only English certification (through IELTS or showing proof of 500 hours of English in secondary school). However, they will teach you German in your first year of classes. Like Rain said, by the end of your degree (or after that initial year) you are expected to have a command of German already, and it's highly possible that the remaining subjects will be taught in German as mentioned. But since it's part of their curriculum, you have no other choice but to learn anyway (and you really should to begin with). I do not know how it is with other institutions however, but it's most likely the same.

As far as I know, when it comes to engineering or computers-related courses for Bachelors (the ones you want), you have very limited options. From what I've seen on the DAAD website, most of the institutions that offer it are Hochschules (as Suffi said yesterday, more practical-based education with focus on certain fields. They offer both Bachelors and Masters degrees too). If you're fine with that then you should definitely give those a look.

cobalt marsh
#

@noble bone ok can you explain what hochschules is and i am learning A1 A2 because in my country they say you gotta have that for visa and my English level is good like i got A in my igcse all i wanna know now is the monthly cost on average and please if you can elaborate what hochschules is thanks :)

noble bone
#

Hochschules aren't exactly like Universities, but they're on the same level of higher education. Pretty much, it means they cannot give you doctorates (which doesn't concern you anyway). Like I said, they are able to hand out Bachelors degrees (which you need) and Masters. Hochschules tend to be more oriented to specific fields/areas (like computers, engineering, etc.).

What's good is that a lot of these Hochschules offer degrees in English only, which would suit you. A1-A2 level wouldn't cut it in most universities in Germany, as majority of their courses require B1-B2 if I'm not mistaken.

#

Monthly cost of expenses on average differs for each city/town, so I can't really answer you right now unless you have chosen places / institutions you want to attend. @cobalt marsh

#

That's unfortunate for you though, from what I've seen here in my country they don't seem to require a certain level of German for the VISA, but they just want to have a look at it regardless. These language requirements are more important from the university/ies of choice instead.

cobalt marsh
#

@noble bone alright so can you link me a website which has more info about hochschules because if i want to go into app development and stuff that's better for me right? And what about the tuition fee for hochschules? Or they are free too

noble bone
#

They are free too, if they're outside of Baden-Württemberg (for non-EU students).

#

Only semester fees.

#

Treat them like you would any other university.

cobalt marsh
#

Oh right right

noble bone
#

Wait let me give you an example

cobalt marsh
#

noble bone
#

An example of an English-only Bachelors degree

#

Application deadlines vary per university/hochschule

#

maybe this is more apt for you, TH Köln (University of Applied Sciences)

#

There's more options in the website I linked you earlier, do check those out if you want to know more.

cobalt marsh
#

@noble bone ok so let's say if i go to koln uni what will be the monthly cost cus my parents are most concerned about that

noble bone
#

@cobalt marsh I have no idea honestly, you might want to look it up later. Try to assume you'd at least need 800 euros monthly (this could be much lower, or slightly higher).

#

The uni's website usually has some information about the average expenses in their city, and there are many blogs to read about as well. Google is your friend.

Sure, that's always something you need to consider. They usually provide a date of when it was published and sources, if they have any and in this case it's only about how tuition fees for foreigners may change in the future.

#

@cursive frost I can give you a brief rundown that somebody, if they wish to, can expand on later if theres more details or I've made a mistake.

#

What you need to provide depends on your situation. i.e. if you're a student/working

#

if you're working, for the money you can simply provide an employment contract as your evidence of financial support, if you're student, a student loan or maybe even a statement from your bank with sufficient savings. This doesn't have to be earned by you and could come from anywhere i.e. parents but it does have to be an account in your name.

#

I also believe you don't need german knowledge to move to germany, only if you would like unrestricted residency you have to prove a sufficient level, and there would likely be an asked for level too once you're going to work/school.

#

idk about contacts through embassies but you do need a valid reason to stay in germany for so long

@cursive frost
So the question is if you are a EU Citizen or not.
Als freizügigkeitsberechtigter Bürger der Europäischen Union (auch Unionsbürger genannt) haben Sie uneingeschränkten Zugang zum deutschen Arbeitsmarkt. Sie und Ihre Familienangehörigen benötigen weder für die Einreise noch für die Beschäftigung in Deutschland ein Visum oder eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis (§ 2 FreizügG/EU).

Unbeschränkt freizügigkeitsberechtigten EU-Bürgern gleichgestellt sind Staatsangehörige des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums (EWR: das sind die Mitgliedstaaten der EU sowie Island, Liechtenstein und Norwegen) (§ 12 FreizügG/EU) und ihre Familienangehörigen.

Für die Einreise ist lediglich ein gültiger Pass oder Personalausweis notwendig (§ 2 Abs. 5 FreizügG). Nach Ihrer Einreise müssen Sie (wie auch deutsche Staatsbürger) innerhalb von drei Monaten Ihren Wohnsitz beim Einwohnermeldeamt der Stadt, in der Sie leben, anmelden.

Eine Ausnahme betrifft Familienangehörige von EU- und EWR-Bürgern, die selbst weder Unions-, EWR-Bürger oder Schweizer sind: sie bedürfen für die Einreise nach Deutschland eines Visums nach den Bestimmungen für Ausländer, für die das Aufenthaltsgesetz gilt. Sie erhalten dann in Deutschland von der Ausländerbehörde eine so genannte Aufenthaltskarte (§ 2 Abs. 4 S. 2 FreizügG).

Staatsangehörige der Schweiz und ihre Familienangehörigen genießen ebenfalls Freizügigkeit innerhalb der EU, müssen aber eine spezielle rein deklaratorische Aufenthaltserlaubnis-Schweiz beantragen (§ 28 AufenthV).

Welche Ausländerbehörde zuständig ist, richtet sich nach Ihrem zukünftigen Aufenthaltsort im Bundesgebiet.

#

and if you are not from the eu than this applys:
Wenn Sie Bürger eines sogenannten Drittstaats sind, das heißt weder Staatsangehöriger eines Mitgliedstaates der Europäischen Union noch des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraumes oder der Schweiz sind und dauerhaft in Deutschland bleiben möchten, benötigen Sie dazu eine Erlaubnis, den sogenannten Aufenthaltstitel (s.Broschüre „Bildung und Beruf“, Seite 7f).

Wenn Sie in Deutschland arbeiten möchten, benötigen Sie einen Aufenthaltstitel, der das Arbeiten gestattet, d.h. einen Aufenthaltstitel zum Zweck der Erwerbstätigkeit (diese Titel sind aufgelistet in den §§ 18-21 Aufenthaltsgesetz (AufenthG). Besondere Hinweise zu den Regeln der Einreise nach Deutschland, wenn Sie sich noch im Ausland aufhalten oder zu den notwendigen Schritten, falls Sie sich bereits in Deutschland befinden, können Sie der Informationsbox in der rechten Spalte entnehmen. Um einen Aufenthaltstitel zu erhalten, müssen Sie zunächst allgemeine Voraussetzungen erfüllen. Das heißt unter anderem, Sie müssen einen Pass besitzen, Ihr Lebensunterhalt während des Aufenthaltes muss gesichert sein und es darf kein Ausweisungsgrund vorliegen. Der Zweck des von Ihnen beabsichtigten Aufenthaltes und Ihre Ausbildung beziehungsweise Ihre fachlichen Qualifikationen bestimmen, welcher Aufenthaltstitel für Sie konkret in Frage kommt.

#

@cursive frost if you want more information, let us know what country you're a citizen of (it matters for visas) and what the situation with you working/studying would be (do you have a job offer? do you want to attend a German uni? do you just want to work in Germany but have no set plans? what are your work qualifications?) because those will all affect the process for you

cursive frost
#

@humble bough I'm from Serbia, I am still a student but I'm finishing in summer, so I was thinking off getting a job as an Android Developer. I will have a bachelor's degree in CS. I don't have any job offers

humble bough
#

alright, well, since you're not from one of the countries who can enter Germany without a visa, you'll need some sort of visa allowing you to work before entering Germany. As long as your degree is recognized as equivalent to a German degree, you have the qualifications necessary to get an employment visa, but you would need a concrete job offer on the table to get one. There is a job seeker visa, but in order to be eligible you need at least 5 years of experience in your field and enough funds to cover your stay, which I figure isn't the case if you're just graduating.

#

so my advice would probably be to either start applying for jobs in Germany or consider doing a master's degree in Germany as a way into the country instead. Or to start work within your home country and wait until you have five years experience to move to Germany on a jobseeker's visa, if that's more agreeable to you.

cursive frost

@humble bough Well if I get a job offer (I've seen jobs that give visa sponsorship) then I don't need 5 years of experiecne right?

getting a blue card would happen once you're already in germany; afaik it's part of your residence permit, which you apply for once you're already in the country.

but yeah afaik you need a job offer to really even start the process of getting an employment visa; once you've got that, you should probably get more information on what to do about residence permits once you're in germany

#

but like how much money u need saved up too

#

to self sustain for liek 6 months or ?

#

and u need an active address of living as well ?

#

so if I could get a bulgarian passport I should right 🤔

#

would make things much easier

#

@humble bough are u thinking of moving there too or are u already there?

humble bough
#

you definitely need an active address once you're in germany for the residence permit; I think how much money you need depends on the specific type of visa, and that'll probably depend on what job you manage to get

#

I already live in Germany, but I'm on a study visa

oh my god man

#

rocket science right here

#

#

Bulgaria is in the EU, so getting a Bulgarian passport would make it a LOT easier loll

not 100% sure if anyone here knows what to do but I'll ask:
I ordered something online, and it was shipped to me through DHL while I was on vacation. It was delivered to a nearby shop that's a pickup center, but since it arrived while I was on vacation and I didn't get back right away, when I went to pick it up the guy at the store said they didn't have it cause they only keep them there for one week. Does anybody know what DHL does with packages at this point? I really don't wanna be out the money for what I ordered, but I can't find info on their website that I understand to help me figure out what to do next...

They will return it to the sender

It depends on what your field decides to do

#

But is it just to let the candidates know what they should expect from the course or does it affect who'll get accepted too?

#

I know that for CS it's the latter. I haven't had time to read the whole article though

#

i see, thanks oxi 😰

I wanna get a Minijob in Germany as a waiter and need a Sozialversicherungsnummer. I'm insured in my home country tho (part of EU), can I still get a job or do I have to switch to a German insurance company?

#

Oh wait, they implemented the Eignungsverfahren? rip

#

@humble bough I had this happen and you just have to contact the seller and ask for another shipment because they probably returned to sender.

@humble bough I know. It's dumb. Can't even call DHL

@exotic barn Uh for cs the Orientierungsphase is just one subject which you have to pass but it was really easy

#

I mean we also had the Studienzugangsbeschränkung but I think that's just for cs

i think this is the first time i am seeing a CS course getting a admission restriction ....... or is CS really popular in germany too and they have admission restrictions?

faint plaza
#

Hella lot people study it Cause money 💰

#

But it is for the tu Wien tho so not Germany monkey

#

@hard parcel there are multiple things each subject can choose to ask for however

#

They will publish them 'zur Zeit' but it's still a toss up as to what it would be

Gotta write a Motivationsbrief for my master studies. No idea how to make it properly despite all the internet guides and stuff. Is it ok to mention that i want to stay and work in Germany or they dont like that?

exotic barn
#

Well, they mostly wanna know what motivates you to do your masters at uni X

#

There's prolly a good way to incorporate that thought of yours

@fickle shell Stell es dir wie eine Bewerbung vor. Einleitung, Hauptteil, Schluss, etwa 700 Wörter. Bisherige Erfahrungen, gemeisterte akademische Herausforderungen, mit was du dich gerne beschäftigen willst und warum gerade dort wo du dich bewirbst (ein bisschen einschleimen wird erwartet). Denk daran den Text selbstbewusst zu formulieren.

700 Wörter🤢🤡

#

in my experience master's motivations want you give reasons why you want to do that specific Master's degree, rather than (or in addition to) why you wanna do a master's degree in general

Hello, would anyone recommend good CS/Informatik universities, where language of instruction is English?

solemn bay
#

In all DACH or just a specific country?

#

Germany

#

also, bachelor’s or master’s

#

or “never bothered switching to that system”, which probably exists too tbh

tight kelp
#

i don't think there's many bachelors taught in english here in germany

hidden briar
#

at bachelor level 98% of courses are in german and those who aren't are mostly at expensive private universities

tame forum
#

I don't get this one thing tho.... How are there tons of English taught masters programms, but so less English Bachelors programmes. M not complaining or anything.... Jus cant seem to bend my mind around the reason .... I mean it is totally possible for them to teach bachelors in english if they can teach masters right?

foggy prism
#

bachelor’s degrees are usually done locally

#

people tend to only go abroad for the master’s

#

so masters’ degrees pander to international students, and bachelors’ to locals
