good luck ^^
Thank you!
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
first third with the start of the rent contract, 2nd third a month later, 3rd third a month after that
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
you can if you want, but afaik it can't be demanded
when i saw this channel i thought dach meant "roof"
it does. It's a double meaning
Hi everyone, is there anyone that's doing their PhD in Germany here?
in case u dont find anyone here, you will surely find someone on reddit.
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
Oz doesn’t help
Well the imperial units dont help me
Kg would be useful
70 cents is standard for a letter
2 oz is 56g
You can send something in an envelope for 0.85€ (up to 50g) or 1.45€ (up to 500g)
Heres the full table with all dimensions
huh, does Germany not have A-Post (next day arrival) and B-Post (takes a day longer, but cheaper)?
Falls es so ist finde ich davon nichts auf der Webseite
Gibt Prioritäten versand
Aber soweit ich weis und glaube nur für Firmen
Haben solche Sticker dafür im@hotel
Bei uns gibt's sogar drei Prioritätsstufen. Für normale Briefe:
85 Rappen - B-Post, kommt übermorgen an
1 Franken - A-Post, kommt morgen an
~50 Franken - "Urgent", jemand fährt jetzt los und liefert es aus
Greetings! Is there anyone from Leipzig? Need advice from local ^^
just post the question and someone might answer
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?
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?
it should be 14,6% of your gross income (split between your employer and you) plus the Zusatzbeitrag between 0.1% and 1%
so, they just take the money in the first place, I don't need to make any extra payment myself, right?
yes
Hey! Me again. I guess there is no one from Leipzig, but in general, is it possible to know which places are more OK for parking? For example if we just want to take a nap for few hours and then continue
At the Autobahn on the Parkplatz mostly it is okey
Oh, okay. Thanks!
You Are welcome!

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.
Wait for someone else to answer the first part but yes, a goethe institut certificate is certainly valid
Ausbildung im dualen System or duales Studium? For Ausbildung don't worry about a school, find a company that offers it
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.
@barren cipher hochschuledual.de
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.
@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.
wait so do you have a bachelors degree?
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 .
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.
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.
yah it possibly does exist there are tons of Ausbildung courses
Question is: how can I find them, apply, and stay in contact? I already feel confused by all the google research.
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.
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.
Unless you have a scholarship or something, I don't think studying in Germany is possible without enough funds saved up
yah^^
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.
How come a refugee can study for free there, and I as a honest hard working fellow must pay heavy price? (sorry, just had to let it out this time)
The situations aren't really comparable.
refugees are seen as a completely diferent class of people
and they are a smaller group of people (around a million)
That means I should become one then? I don't get the logic :[
yah but u cant become a refugee by choice
And you wouldn't want to.
Of course I care about my cultural environment
i bet theres a rule thats says that ur country of origin should be going through political unrest
to become one.
and yah even if u think that refugees are free of red tape..... thats not completely true
Yes, generally a refugee is someone who has no choice but to escape their country because they aren't safe there.
I'm ex-muslim, who cannot announce he's atheist, unless I'm looking for a death wish (and yeah, I will get officially hanged)
In Iran, from a minority too.
hmm, if you dont get your answer here, you should try asking on r/de on reddit.
about the ausbildung studium thing
state your question in german though, its an all german subreddit
Vielen Dank trotzdem. Sehr nett von euch.
Kein Problem
@barren cipher Maybe you should apply for asylum if you feel your current situation is comparable to other asylum seekers.
@solemn bay wow "apply"?xD sorry... how so, frage ich mich?:)
(I cannot use visa/mastercard nor paypal to do online business freelancing nor buy and sell stuff internationally, unless I use some shady middle man's firm to do the work for me. I didn't do anything wrong, my nationality became a problem, something that I was born with and didn't choose by free will... not to mention how many times I have to tell others that I'm not steretypically Arab nor muslim, nor anybody here thinks of 'terorizing'. I didn't ask for this. Politicians fight; people have to pay for their shit-show here... sigh)
and on top of that USA's shitty sanctions on iran
I don't know much about it but you can consider these: https://www.dw.com/en/how-to-apply-for-asylum-in-germany/a-18723501
https://openbordersimmigration.com/applying-for-asylum-and-refugee-status-in-germany/
http://www.asylumineurope.org/reports/country/germany/asylum-procedure
When speaking about asylum and refugees in Germany, the federal government recognizes several categories: Category 1 – Protection from Political Persecution Category 2 – Protection as a Refugee Cat…
The Chapter: Asylum Procedure in Germany contains sections on: A. General Flow chart of the procedure Types of procedures List of authorities intervening in each stage of the procedure Number of staff and nature of the first instance authority
@tame forum Yep, such is life...
@solemn bay You've been a great help., mate.🙏
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?
mit TestDaF kannst du kein Niveau wählen, du schreibst einfach den Test und du bekommst ein Niveau je nach Ergebnissen
Ist das nicht eigentlich immer auch ein Vorteil?
oder eher eine Bewertung, die mehr oder weniger an einem CEFR-Niveau zugeordnet werden kann
im schlechtesten Fall würde ich B2 statt C1 bekommen, anstatt dass ich nichts bekommen hätte
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
ja, imo ist TestDaF besser. Aber ob das für dich geht kommt drauf an die Einrichtung bzw. Unternehmen wofür du das Zertifikat brauchst
(was relevant ist weil prestige)
also gibt es Unternehmen, die den TestDaF nicht akzeptieren?
kA
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....
I’m not sure about the prestige. More unis accept TestDaF than Goethe afaik.
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.
I think TestDaF and DSH are accepted everywhere but I’m not 100% sure. Goethe maybe too but most unis require Goethe C2
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
yah i never got this too..... C2 is like God tier german, where for most uni purposes C1 shud be more than enuf
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
what fr? theres no real person?
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
C2 level required at unis? I thought DSH-2 was C1 level and that is required usually
they just coordinate the test and make things work, but the evaluation happens in Bochum where the files are sent
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
darmstadt wants DSH-2, which is C1
yah but from geothe they need C2 cert
@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
wait lemme check real quick once again
as for the reasons why that would be the case, see above
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
Hey guys i got a question
Should I go to international school for my senior year in high school in France or Germany so i can learn the language then go to university there
what answer do you expect in a german server 
Well I just mean in general too
Like going to one in general
The question is what country looks better to you? @exotic barn
You can only answer that one yourself
That and if international school is a good idea for senior year
@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.
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
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
@tacit briar I don't believe it. Can they recite any Goethe's work smoothly then?
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
For me a C1 can debate in that language well.
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)
@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
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.
Having an accent is irrelevant though.
You can be perfectly fluent, as fluent as a native speaker, and still have an accent.
@quiet idol Guess you have to apply for a English programme. I saw some free ones.
some jobs specifically require "no accent", e.g. call centers
That's a specific job requirement though. It's nothing to do with cefr level.
you can also have no accent and still hurt grammar very hard 😄
@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.
That's not a realistic expectation.
To each their own, lad.
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
Yes, that seems like a reasonable expectation for a university student.
I want TestDAF 4 😢
I want to ask you a very important question guys. I'm thinking about studying bachelor in computer science in a university of applied sciences in Germany, but I want to know if the bachelor's from this type of unis is accepted world wide or not ( like would I be able to study masters in the USA for example)
thank you for your time
What is spider in German? My dad says it is eierkophf and google translate says spindel.
lol
"Eierkopf ist ein umgangssprachlicher Begriff, der, mal eher abwertend, mal (selbst-) ironisch, als Bezeichnung für Wissenschaftler verwendet wird. Der Begriff zielt auf die laut Vorurteil bei Akademikern besonders häufige (Halb-)Glatze ab."
HLI 😂
Klingt nach etwas was ein Eierkopf sagen würde
@weak robin Wrong channel and neither of those are correct.
Ich habe eine Frage für jemanden der in Deutschland studiert(e)!
Hau raus :)
Also ich bewerbe mich für viele unis am 1en Juni (der erste Tag dass ich mich bewerben kann) und dann 11en Juni ziehe ich nach Berlin.. Also wenn ich eine Zulassungs/ablehnungsbrief bekomme, wird es zu meinem zuhause geschickt und natürlich bin ich nicht da. Schicken die unis den Brief auch per E-Mail oder so?
Vllt eine dumme Frage aber was auch immer 🤷♀️
Cool! Ok ja ich weiß nicht genau wie es funktioniert, außerdem muss ich mich durch Uni assist bewerben
Hey! anyone from Leipzig online?
ask your question, if the person comes online later they can answer
I want to ask you a very important question guys. I'm thinking about studying bachelor in computer science in a university of applied sciences in Germany, but I want to know if the bachelor's from this type of unis is accepted world wide or not ( like would I be able to study masters in the USA for example)
thank you for your time
Yes, German degrees are recognised in the US
@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.
We're attending a concert in Leipzig (venue called Hellraiser), I asked someone from organizators about parking. Got response that there are a lot of parking spaces along the street (that there is no problem to park here). I was wondering, can I check anyhow if some streets are valid for parking or no?
Adress is 4 Werkstättenstraße, Leipzig
google streetview perhaps
seems fine for leipzig
I think all cities have coverage by now, only smaller settlements and rural areas don't
by now? i thought they started with the larger cities and then stopped due to legal issues. Did they resume?
I was under the impression they hadn't started at all due to legal reasons and then managed to cover cities
hmh
so yeah maybe dont trust street view too much, some of these pictures are apparently over 10 years old
Erklärung bitte
the sign in the hand is "no restrictions on speed and overtaking"
(actual germans please correct me if wrong) afaik the sign doesnt always mean that you can drive as fast as you want
it just means that any restrictions put in place by other signs are no longer in effect
But should you be driving on a Bundestraße, the standard speed limit of 100 km/h does still apply
on the Autobahn however this does mean that there is absolutely no limit but the laws of physics
lol
@pale saddle correct
"Ende sämtlicher streckenbezogener Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkungen und Überholverbote"
yup
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?
I'm just guessing but could it be like, character references from previous Vermieter?
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
a CV for the Vermieter
like your last paychecks
and stuff
and if you are rent worthy
Dass man bei der Jobsuche eine Bewerbungsmappe vorlegt, ist Alltag – doch seit einiger Zeit verlangen auch immer mehr Vermieter eine Bewerbung.
like your last paychecks
yeah that's what I said
and frankly if that isn't enough for them they can f right off. There's a lot of places up for rent here and I'm not willing to be bossed around every time I want to change something in my own life
in most big cities it isnt enough
in munich you have to give them everything of you basiccaly
your work contract
how much you get payed
what ya parents are doing
stuff like that
luckily I don't live in a place that big
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
You can avoid being "bossed" like that by paying an agent for finding a place for you. Just a hint @tight kelp
yeah that's my back-up plan in case I can't find anything on my own
I was once trying to find something by my own, but after a few visits decided that I don't have time for all that crap - so just did what I described
what are common jobs Germans do for a bit of side income
nothing official but things like dog walking where I can just get some cash in hand for the day
Baby sitting, dog walking, Umzugshelfer @mild quiver
Are they any German discord servers where natives just talk a lot? I just want to join in, stalk, and listen to them all day long.
I don't know if sharing other servers is allowed here, so dm me, if have any. Thanks in advance.
go on any popular german youtubers/streamers discord and it will be bound to have what you're looking for
Could you please share with me the ones you know? I have no idea. I'm too old to be a gamer/follower to get to know them.
search for "gronkh", he has a pretty big discord server
@exotic barn Thanks :D
Do I have to do anything special to be allowed to join voice chat there? And would it bother anyone to just listen there?
no idea, I'm not in the server myself. You're better off asking someone there, sorry lol
Toll XD
Denke mal hier ist ein guter Ort, um zu fragen: Ich muss demnächst was beim Zoll abholen, brauch ich dafür lediglich meinen Personalausweis, das Geld, um die Zollkosten zu decken, und das Informationsschreiben, was mir vom Zoll zugesandt wurde? Tracking-Nummer ist ja eigentlich nicht mehr relevant, da das Paket als zugestellt gilt.
Can I study PhD with a master's degree from a hochschule ?
most prolly you can. might depend on how icky picky the Uni is. better to ask them
thanks
@fleet pelican @exotic barn OMG they talk a lot of shit there. Mein kopf... it hurts XD
If any of you know: how much does an average student spend per month in a city like ULM
and would you recommend me going there because I found a CS course held entirely in English
Average prices of more than 40 products and services in Ulm, GermanyFeb 2019. Prices of restaurants, food, transportation, utilities and housing are included.
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
😂
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
Hat sich geklärt
@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.
@surreal ermine was hat sich geklärt?
Guten Morgen übrigens
Meine Frage
@surreal ermine was für einen "certificate"?
"certificate of health"
Hab gesehen, ich verstehe nicht was das ist
War das eine Frage für eine andere Frage oder was?
Naja ein Stück Papier auf dem steht dass ich gesund bin und nach Japan kann oder so, das wollen die von mir 🤷
Ach so was 😅
Die Japaner wollen wissen, ob du gesund bist, oder nicht, vermutlich
Wann fährst du nach Japan? @surreal ermine
@surreal ermine ich brauchte sowas nicht 🤔
Sie lassen dich ein Visum unterzeichnen, wenn du in den Flughafen ankommst
@compact slate Ich brauche es schon 🤷
🤔
Vielleicht kommt das denn darauf, woher man kommt?
Ich weiß, aber vielleicht trotzdem
hello there
btw u will have to ask here question here again lol, not all people use "questions" channel
*ur question
@junior trail
@tacit briar lmao alright, thanks a lot! 😃
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?
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
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
What's exactly DoSV Verfahren? Is it like an interview? Do you need to apply to it after you apply to the university in UniAssist?
When do I need to apply to it?
whats the full form?
?
Are there any expats working in Germany here?
Ah okay. Was hoping to hear from those outside of the EU. Need some advice about job hunting in Germany
well you could still post it here, theres a good chance someone from the EU might know a thing or 2 about ur query
Ah sure.
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
So it is an interview of sorts?
Did anyone go through one and can elaborate on the process?
Well I asked in general :)
Das Bewerbungsportal zur Registrierung und Bewerbung für grundständige Studiengänge
@compact slate
open the link in chrome, it will translate it for you.
I will check it out thanks
as far as what i have read, its for courses that have more applicants than seats, like Medical, and nursing courses for example. and depends on university to university which course they put under Numerus Clausus.
Hey does anybody know if it's possible to check online what your Steuerklasse is?
Either check your Gehaltsabrechnung or phone your local Finanzamt http://gemfa.bzst.bund.de/gemfai.exe. Alternatively, you can use something like this: https://www.steuerklassen.com
the gehaltsabrechnung shows a different steuerklasse than the one we recently changed to, that's why i want to make sure :P
I want to see if it's perhaps a mistake on my husband's employer's or the finanzamt
I'd recommend phoning your Finanzamt then
yeah i'll phon their hair real good
I'm sick with a cold... Is cold medicine expensive in germany and which is the best one?
Rest a lot, "Mit Medikamenten dauert's eine Woche, ohne sieben Tage"
Im amazed how we sent people to the moon centuries ago but we still dont have any working medicine against a cold
not really that surprising imo. the moon is a very predictable thing. the cold is ever-changing
what do you mean by "moon is a very predictable thing"?
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.
Hey, guys, need help! We planned to go to Leipzig tomorrow and I didn't even know that that Umwelt zones are thing. It's better to find place for parking outside, right?
but i think the virus can just float in the air right?? once we come out of isolation we jus end up catching it again?
oh damn i thought they just float and get active once they enter the body again
nvr knew mf's died
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
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
any antivax moms nightmare
I’d much rather walk around in a biohazard suit for a week or two
for some reason in my mind isolation meant sitting in a white room.
Hallo any German here who has a Job in Germany?
Please help me with my German Cover Letter.
[Please its urgent, The HR I have to submit is of a very elite company]
what kind of help do you need
how to write a cover letter, presumably
I'm interested in the advice as well. I've done it before but since I haven't landed a job yet there's presumably still room for improvement 😅
Is there some Germany-specific stuff you want to know or just general advice?
@empty moon well it depends on the car you have. but you cant enter parts of the city anyway without a euro emission norm sticker on your car
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 ?
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.
So I could just extend my Aufenthalt problemlos? Thanks
You don’t need an Aufenthalt if you have an EU passport
🤔
You just move and register at the city where you wanna live.
Gerne^^
For real? I thought if you were in the europian union everything was fair game
@last ether Portuguese
umm... I have been given a (German) phone number (in Germany) in the following format:
XXXX/XXX XXX X-X
and I'm kinda confused how to dial it
could anyone help?
just key in the numbers i think
I mean just dialing without / and - does not work
🤔
are you using a german phone?
if not you might need to prepend the national prefix +49 or 0049
never seen the slash in a phone number honestly 🤔
slash is to divide the city code from the rest of the number, dash is for extensions, enter neither when dialing
Explain that to me too please
HALLO!

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
yeah, customs fees, you'll have to pay the 11,08 to get your package
xd
Man this will be sad as hell if the cost of the product itself is something like 15 euros.
it was probably around 27 euros if the 5,08 eur is Einfuhrumsatzsteuer
So is that just for international packages or for ones sent locally as well?
international, from outside of the EU
Thanks for the info
I was wondering why the guy just didn't leave it at the spot he usually does
Customs fees 
Yeah, you're more or less paying Mehrwertsteuer (VAT) for goods imported from outside of the EU. And then an additional 6 EUR to DHL for them to collect the money
😔
It's all about money
heh I get the opposite when I buy stuff from germany
germany has a higher VAT, so I get money back
lol
and then there was that one time I ordered stuff from america (a fancy rubik’s cube + lubrication) and they didn’t include a receipt
so it got stuck at customs caue they didn’t know if I had to pay import taxes…
rip
had to print the receipt from the website and send it to customs, and pay some more stuff because Bearbeitungsgebühren
lol
I don’t buy from that site anymore
das ist wohl das deutscheste Wort
Aber echt
how to study in germany ? guys pls help
depends what u wanna study
economie
i mean bachelor / masters
oh masters
sry i wasnt clear
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
i did and i found alot
well then?
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?
you mean the University wants to test you ? and if you pass the test only then you get the admission?
yes
ii think thats soemthing that depends from university to university. did all Unis need an entrance test?
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
no idea. helpful tip: if the programm has "NC" written anywhere, that means u will have to give a test.
what if i cant afoored the 9000euro
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
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 ?
if the course falls under "No restrictions" then u can directly apply
then if i got acception i will just entire it ?
yep
even if i got just B1 in deutsch
if the course is in english, then german requirements dont matter.
and if its on german ?
then C1 or C2
i see
and if you wanna study by german i guess you need to study for one yeard
the Shd
you need 9k euro as savings if youre from outside of eu, no exception
or something right
yah^^
so if i dont have it i cant study in german ? @exotic barn
from which country are you from.
damn, if u were from an african country u could have got a stipend from daad
its in africa
stupid me
hhhhhh
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
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
yeah
gut
120 full days
even if my deutsch isnt that good
oh in wich city ?
well if theres a uni in frankfurt that accepts B2, which is the max that i can achieve before deadlines.... tell me
thier is a lot
@tame forum münchen und karlsruhe akzeptieren B2 auch. Und OTH Regensburg DSD B2
ja, aber München ist mir zu teuer, ich glaube...... und ja ich weiß OTH Regensburg..... es sieht gut aus.
es gibt vier Uni in Bavaria, die B2 akzeptieren wird.
weißt du etwas über deggendorf?
what about frankfurt is it expensive too ?
ich kann keine Information über Deggendorf "living expenses" finden. ich habe auch numbeo gesucht
@exotic barn Its not as expensive as Munich for example, but yeah
It also depends on the district where you live
how many districts are there normally in a Bundestag?
Bundestag?
as in a state
Ah
sorry i thought that was the word for a state
Well every state has his own Cities, Villages etc
But there are different districts in each city
Berlin for example
Yo is the Zug in Deustchland the easiest way to move around in the city berlin? i have a hausafgaben dass ich machen müsste lol. And how much does a normal / ok hotel cost in Berlin? Also any known places to hang out and any Touristatractionen things in Berlin?
Bundestag is like, the german parliament building thingy
@tame forum
you thought of Bundesland
(note I have no clue about what it is exactly)
(but it’s a building in, probably, Berlin)
Er wollte Bundesländer sagen
^^^^
@azure nebula Im from Berlin
@azure nebula What exactly do u like/wanna do?
Anything special?
And the fastest way to travel around in Berlin will be Subway, Bus and Bicycle
woah had no idea about the districts thing..... do the costs vary a lot from district to district?
nice. I have a homework to do. I need to write a blog about a trip to Germany where i at least need to go to a resturant and write a lil about my further plans
@tame forum Yeah, it does.
wirklich??
ja
@tame forum Yeah 😛
well, do you know the Deggendorf hochschule??
but any known places in Germany
aw, no problem..... good to know the place is cheap
@azure nebula I can send you a list of Attractions
And the go-to travel source can be the subway and bus?
That would be the fastest way as a tourist
U can also use a Taxi, but it does cost more
yah well there are 3 unis.... each in ingolstadt, deggendorf and Anberg...
ingolstadt is
had no idea about the costs until today
yah thats expensive ikk
Well the top 3 most know places in Berlin are? and how much does does a ok hotel cost in Berlin?
yah..... as for TUM, i think the the accodomation , if u get in the "uni bldg" is around 300 euros or something
but if u cant get those ur donee
Just the top 3
lol ok
@azure nebula It depends how many stars the hotel has
damn thanks Dextrumi...
WEll what about a 3 star. Lets say i am a student. as a student trip i guess
you are welcome
didnt realise might find someone from bavaria here
@azure nebula Brandenburger Tor, Siegessäule and Reichstaggebäude would be the too 3
well i am born in munich and know a lil about bavaria haha
I am suprised you didnt say berliner mauer, that other turn in the middle
well any unis that u might wanna recommend?
well yes
It really depends on the hotel. Can be from 50 to 80
i really dont have much time coz i have like 3 test and shit loads of other things lol
per night
ok so lets just say 60. Any hotel names?
wait
trivago
Well can you just name a hotel in the price range you mentioned
thanks for helping me btw.
@tame forum there are a few more natives from bavaria and im living there too rn

Good luch to you thoo
*luck
btw what is czeichia?
Czech Republic
Feel free to ask if you have any questions about Regensburg, see ya 👋
bbyee
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
wenn finanziell möglich, vermeiden (außer studiennahe Arbeit am Institut), Studieren ist in Deutschland ein 3/4 Job.
Werklich?
@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.
why is TU Wien so famous on this server? it has always eluded me that it also gets its own emoji
@sick imp explain
Because it's cool and everyone loves it.
Hauptuni Wien ftw tho
HaupTUni. 😎
you wish 
It's simple though. TU Wien pays me 1200€/semester and I give them the emoji. When other unis offer money for emoji, they'll get them too.
/r/technicallythetruth
its march
correct


Fren is so good at using the calendar, you go fren never doubted you.
sorry I'm not that clever
aw dang
its like asking einstein for the meaning of life
It's easy I'll teach you.
he's a clever fuck, but could he give you an answer?
Probably not. He's dead.
I was waiting to make that joke REEEEE 
maybe try again with stephen hawking
he's also dead 
eh now you gave it away 
Maybe that helps some people
nice
I think even india has this..
Yeah and I think it is beautiful that India has that too @tame forum
Ik😍
@tame forum off-topic but do you happen to know what their hotline is? Couldn't find it on Google
I have a question : What should we have to live and finish our studies in Germany ?
I‘m gonna guess you mean „...live after we finish our studies...“ @exotic barn
As an Ausländer, you need a job, then get an Aufenthaltsgenehmigung. A Blue Card to be more precise, if you‘re in Engineering.
I‘ve heard of people who married a German so they‘d be able to stay.
And yes, money. You can‘t live without money here...
Is there a place you can? 🤔
Hotel Mama
@warped atlas I wanted to be doctor
I have a question: i wish to do bachelors in Germany in computers or engineering like app development and i wanted to ask if the universities have bachelors in English cus everyone keeps telling me they don't and i wanna know which University is the best for this and what grades do i need in my A levels
And what is the monthly cost if i go to a uni with no tuition fee like can someone tell me the average monthly cost
that really depends on the city
So let's say we are talking about Technische Universität München •München
TUM undergrad you need to be C1 fluent in German. TUM grad school is in English
@cobalt marsh https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/result/?q=°ree[]=1&lang[]=2&fos=&crossFac=&cert=&admReq=&scholarshipLC=&scholarshipSC=&langDeAvailable=&langEnAvailable=&lvlEn[]=&cit[]=&tyi[]=&ins[]=&fee=&bgn[]=&dur[]=&sort=4&subjects[]=&limit=10&offset=&display=list try this link, it's already automatically filtered to degrees that are offered in English-only (I myself plan on studying the IPSP degree offered in Leipzig this year, they will teach you German as part of their curriculum in the first year)
Btw TUM you need B2. @hodgegepodge
Thanks everyone for help :)
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.
^
thats true for most of the popular subjects at universities, there is a lot of filtering in the first year.
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
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
@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.
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
@noble bone thanks man I'll brows really appreciate the help
Start Bachelors as an international student
They still have to get B2 or C1 cert by the end of their studies
All I'm worried about is that do they have English in bachelors?
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
@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.
@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 :)
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.
@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
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.
Oh right right
Wait let me give you an example
:)
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.
@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
@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.
@noble bone ok I'll do more research but thank you very much for the help like honestly i appreciate it this helped me alot
@cobalt marsh You're welcome, mate. Wish you luck!
Thanks :)
@cobalt marsh @noble bone both BW and NRW has the internationale Studenten Gebühr, so better avoid those two Bundesländer if you don‘t want to shell out an extra €1500 for the semester
Damn...NRW is "said to follow suit" but hasnt pasesed the law yet...didnt know this.😟
😟 Do you guys know which states might follow through with this next?
Nah BW has already done it.... And NRW no date given when they r gonna go through.
And none of the other states names have been given
here's an interesting chart for it https://www.studis-online.de/StudInfo/Gebuehren/
Basically depends on the next elections in each of the states
@exotic barn I wouldnt trust Studis-online. A friend of mine applied for Somersemester to Unis based on information from this website and like half of applications were rejected, just because there were no SS this year there at all.
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. If you're applying to specific unis, you should generally pull information from their respective sites directly
yah i think for application dates, daad is way more reliable
or yah the unis website itself
@young grove Try not to insult others in Russian next time
And keep this channel on-topic
Are there any visible minorities living in Germany here? I moved here half a year ago now, and it's starting to wear on me. I'll just be on my bike at night and people yell ching chong ching at me. What could I yell back? ,,Fick dich" doesnt really quell my anger
I think they meant, if any minorities are in this server, who live in Germany.
Wtf. Where do you live? I've never experienced or seen anything like that in my area
I'm not Asian but I know some who live in the region, and in my city there's a lot of immigrants from all over
@tight kelp in Bremen. It's otherwise very liberal and progressive
@faint plaza have you ever just been yelled at for your appearance? Or bullied in some way? I don't know about you, but getting that once a month or more can wear down on you. I get so frustrated because I want to say something to put them in their place, but I can't, because I don't want to be some random minority who doesn't speak German 😞 I just feel powerless. I just feel like I want to defend myself. Not ignore it and not speak about it.
I am not a minority in that hindsight.
But I got yelled at as a faggot with my recent bf and past ones. Even got called a Nazi cause I had a bald head.
I know what you mean.
You could raise your voice and tell them that it isn't okay at all. For my part I ignore it completely
See that's not right to be hassled for being a normal human being
Im Just Not the type of person to let those things slide.
Normally me too.
But I got used to it and I don't wanna waste my time on stuff like that
A minority here. Never had anything like that happen to me in Germany but holding a grudge will only wear you down imo.
It just isn't worth for me at all
If they mean to call me a faggot cause I am gay, okay do it. I just gonna ignore you or if I have a really bad day in gonna snap back
I feel some level of shame hearing this, even though I'm not German
If it makes you feel better it's often not ethnically white Germans saying things like that to me
Tbh it isn't that common at all in Germany anymore
Turkish or middle eastern mostly, but I got some German guys who come up to me and hit me with a "konnichiwa"
Back in 2002 it was totally normal sadly
Ahh the turks
Mhm
I always have problems with them
I mean idk if they're turkish
Who then? Here there's a lot of Syrians and Turks, plus Germans who are heritage Turks, but I've never experienced anything like that, they're usually nice people
But Turks make up a huge minority here.
Serki dann hast du bisher Glück gehabt
Ich werde nicht mehr so oft als schwuchtel und co beleidigt aber wenn dann meistens von Türken.
My perspective is that of a Mediterranean man married to another Mediterranean man
You'd think I'd have at least gotten looks for that but no
Wo lebst du wenn ich fragen darf?
Dortmund
Also in München passiert mir des öfter das ich blicke mit meinem Freund bekommen
Und halt seltener Beleidigungen
Aber trotzdem
Mmm, I haven't heard nice things about Bavarians in that regard
And by the way I'm in no way denying your experiences if that's the impression I'm giving ^^
That's not what I got dw @tight kelp
Pretty close minded on that topic
But only the older people
The younger ones are really nice about it
And to think I'm so happy to feel welcomed here
Im mostly welcomed here! It's not that bad.
Where I come from, gay people are subject to jokes and stuff, at the very least
No one has ever been rude to me in a store or anything
So ember don’t think about to much because of that one thing
It can happen
Just shrug it off
And you Are good to go
But by the way this is not the first time I hear of this sort of episode in Bremen, so it might somehow be a problem specific of there? I'd normally not expect that sort of stuff in the north. No offence to other parts of Germany, it might just be my prejudice
Tbh I would rather expect it in Bavaria than in Bremen. But Bremen is known for the young people with other backgrounds to be kinda close minded
Imo.
But don’t take me to 100% real cause I never was in Bremen and only heard it from people
Bremen feels like very liberal city with stickers everywhere on the streets with slogans like "liberté, égalité, Fuck fdé" and cafes with sighs on the outside "if you're racist, homophobic, or hateful don't come in"
Like I said every are some people that tend to do stuff like that.
Nah in just saying Bremen feels like the opposite of what your friends are telling you @tight kelp. But perhaps I don't understand everything I hear on the streets.
I lived in little town in Thüringen for a year and from what I can tell, this is where u can meet real far rights on the streets, not just dumb closeminded people schouting smth, but also ideology based. They are still a minority, but u feel their presence.
Hey all. I'll be studying abroad in northern Germany in August and I was planning on getting a cheap reliable car while I'm there. Can anyone give some advice on this.
I'll be traveling back and forth between the Hamburg area and the Netherlands fairly often so it seems like a better option than the train.
I currently work in the automotive industry so I'm no stranger to cars but I imagine it's considerably different in Germany.
my area is good in history and geography thinking of reading uni in germany and europe. how are possibilities?
@winter niche me too, I remember hearing news of right wing people carrying flags in Ilmenau(also thüringen) at the street 😦
Anyone know about moving to Germany for non eu citizens
I read that I need a working contract or get a contract through the embassy
Money to cover 6 months of my stay or something? not sure bout this
An address of living? not sure how this works
And some certificate for the language i think
@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
I can give a rundown later when I am home for you @cursive frost
Interesting 🤔 thanks and sure @faint plaza
I would be looking for work, saw alot of jobs who have paid relocation and visa sponsor
@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.
Would you mind just repeating the really important parts in English? i also really need that information but don't understand 90% of it due to being like A2 at best...

hallo! hat jemand hier eine VPD bei uni assist schon beantragt? wenn ja, gibts etwas zu beachten? ich suche rat XD
Deadlines - musst die Unterlagen 2 Monate vorm Ende der Bewerbungsfrist schicken, denke ich
ja, das ist richtig. hast du es bereits getan?
Ne lol
beabsichtigst du, das noch zu tun?
Weiß noch nicht, kommt drauf an, ob es meine zukünftige uni, die ich aber noch nicht mal kenne, fordert
noch jemand zum thema VPD, uni assist oder bewerbung im allgemeinem? wäre nett etwas neues zu erfahren und fehler zu vermeiden XD
du kannst üblicherweise alle info zur bewerbung auf der seite deiner uni finden
Nicht immer..... Manche Unis muss man selbst kontaktieren, wenn deine Schulzeugnisse nicht aus ein EU Land ist.
I know this is off-topic but can we appreciate that DeepL translates "Ausländerbehörde" to "Aliens Department" because I fucking love that
feels very X Files
Huh?
I'm talking about within the text posted yesterday
oh fair
but also, since Milansu already said they aren't an EU citizen, I don't think the posted text from yesterday is particularly helpful as it doesn't describe the requirements for non-EU citizens beyond "you need an Aufenthaltstitel" and does not include the contents of any of the boxes or pages that non-EU citizens are referred to in that passage
@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
@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
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.
@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?
Also my college is accepted according to Anabin
yeah, those are two different visas that require those
oh 🤔
it's either/or, if you get a job offer afaik you'd be eligible for an employment visa
cool cool !
the one that requires 5 years experience is a different visa that's an alternative for some people
You also have those jobs over embassy
Is that the blue card thing ?
You also think I should be applying now?
to jobs? no idea; I don't have experience with the german job market and idk if they'd hire you before you have your degree
Yeah, that wouldn't make sense
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.
some people call residence permits visas in English, but they're different than the visa you'd need to get into the country in the first place (which is what I'm talking about above)
yeah there's no end to the paperwork lol
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?
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
thats rly good
happy for u
what city?
Bulgaria is in the EU, so getting a Bulgarian passport would make it a LOT easier loll
I'm in Berlin! I study in Potsdam tho
lol
in general it is I guess but I don't live in the most hipster-y neighborhood lol
Btw u cant just get a blue card, ur salary has to be above a specific number to apply for it, othervise you can only get a normal work permit with an expiration date i think
@sick imp @hard parcel wien folk who I love very much and I hope I dont disturb with my ping, do you know if tourist postcard places are open on sundays
i.e. in the first district
Hmm No clue, but usually shops are close on Sunday :/
ya, its why I wasthinkin, 1st district usually stays busy even so, and tourists are a 24/7 business
These were so worth the 1 euro at 1 euro store
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
This doesn’t affect if we get accepted to tu wien, right? Since it’s still keine Studienplatzbeschränkung. https://www.tuwien.ac.at/aktuelles/news_detail/article/126588/
Wer im Wintersemester 2019/2020 ein Studium an der TU Wien beginnen möchte, benötigt umfassende Informationen über die geplanten Zulassungsverfahren und Fristen: https://studienbeginn.tuwien.ac.at
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 😰
F
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.
greeeeeat
@humble bough I know. It's dumb. Can't even call DHL
thanks for the help, I'll contact the seller I guess
The guys at DHL didn't see my name on my doorbell and didn't even try lmao
they always do that -.-
it happened at least twice to me even though my name is on the doorbell
Ich hatte noch nie Probleme mit dhl :p
DHL has outright lied to me about me not being home
^
'whoopsie boopsie we seem to have missed you'
They hate there job so they do that stuff
I mean
I can understand them
💁🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
well
I've done an even shittier job than them, I still didn't take it out on the customers
@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?
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?
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?
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
i don't think there's many bachelors taught in english here in germany
at bachelor level 98% of courses are in german and those who aren't are mostly at expensive private universities
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?
