Rwth aachen is good and on the country side. And C1 german to get entry. But all international students now also have to give Test As as an IQ test for entrance. @tropic edge
Tu munich is in Munich so expensive

And btw FH= the studies are morr practical based compared to Uni/TU where its more theoretical. FH have connections with companies and the tjingsy they teach you and the assignments they give you are more industry related. They are also said to be more like School. As in you will need to have cumpolsury attendance and i guess they are more supportive in general, compared to uni where they dont give a fuck whether u come or no or whether u book ur exams or any thing like that.

tropic edge Aug 29, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

Wait I need to give testAS as well? What even?

#

I thought that was for those who don't qualify for direct access

tame forum Aug 29, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

Also FH bachelors and Uni bachelors are at the same level in the eyes of the law, no difference there. But i have read that some older people may have judgements against FH graduates since at their time FH could only give diplmomas and unis were considered at a higher tier. But at present FH students are sought in companies where they dont want to spend resources on training students. Since the studies are already practical oritented.

#

@tropic edge no. Afaik only rwth aachen

#

Not all

#

Most dont

#

I was considering rwth until i read that. Since no test as in dunai

#

tropic edge Aug 29, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

Yeah I've researched and come up with the same, but master options and phd options for FH students are not that alluring

#

Phd is out of the question, AFAIK

tame forum Aug 29, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

Yah for PhD. N i have read sometimes unis are shady and will rekect Fh bachelor graduates who want to go for uni masters. And since they are at the same level in the eyes of the law. They cant state ur FH background as a reason for rejection

#

But nonetheless all unis are different

#

Sometimes u can jus finish the credits before joining the uni

#

Sometimes straight up reject

#

Depends how communicative the uni is and the programe

#

@tropic edge no i domt think its out of the question. I have read onlinr of people who did bachelors in Fh and have indeed done Phds. But thats not a recommended path

#

Depends again on the uni and ur luck whether they give u a place for phd

tropic edge Aug 29, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

Yeah, it's not an option my parents would agree with. I would have been through uni a while back if I joined FH, but my parents convinced me otherwise.

#

They told me train in your field and have the theory, you never know when your interests might shift or change.

#

Kinda agreed and didn't have any better idea, so yeah

Are Goethe Institute German courses good?

#

Also Im planning to go to Germany to work after 4 years when I obtain my PhD
I am a beginner, so what CEFR level should I aim to have by then?

molten hearth Aug 29, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

Depends highly on your teacher and group

#

In 4 years you could even reach c2 if you work hard😄

amber perch Aug 29, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

But I have a PhD to do so I'll have to be realistic

tight kelp Aug 29, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

you can find work with as little as B1, or even A0 if you find work in english (which is possible if you have a PhD, but depends a lot on the field). If you want to study further, at that level there are English courses even in German unis, but German ones will require at least C1 (plus all the relevant jargon of the field).

amber perch Aug 29, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

So I should aim for B1?
My field is in Biomedical Sciences

tight kelp Aug 29, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

if you have 4 years time, you can comfortably aim for C1

#

or more

amber perch Aug 29, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

I thought you need full immersion for that

#

or else youll be surrounded by non-speakers

tight kelp Aug 29, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

with the internet, as long as you develop a good method and don't slack off, you don't need to live there

#

for reference, i have never set foot on a country where english is natively spoken

solemn bay Aug 29, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

You may definitely have some gaps without the benefits of immersion, but once you move there, you will be able to fill in those gaps. Being almost C1 is close enough to being C1, for the purposes of moving and working there.

#

But many people get C1 certification without immersion anyway.

amber perch Aug 29, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

You guys seem to have high expectations

#

Guess i need to change my mentality

solemn bay Aug 29, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

I mean, there are a lot of variables to learning a language. Some people go from A1 to C1 in a year, some people take 10 years. But in a general sense, 4 years is more than enough time for someone to get to C1 if they are studying regularly.

molten hearth Aug 29, 2019, 5:12 PM

#

They are realistic don’t worry, no false hoping 🙂

amber perch Aug 29, 2019, 5:13 PM

#

I mean like 1 lesson a week from the goethe institute
and not some intense language course
Because I gotta focus on my research for my PhD

#

I will try

solemn bay Aug 29, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

If you feel you're someone who can self-study, I'd even say you can study on your own up to B2 before doing courses, if that sounds like something you'd be interested in.

#

I mean, you can get to C2 with self-study, but obviously trying to juggle your time with a phd is hard when you get to more difficult content.

tight kelp Aug 29, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

i'm not one to learn from courses myself, but one lesson a week can be ok if you supplement it with self-learning, especially practice. If all the activity you do in the language is that one lesson a week, ten years wouldn't suffice for b2

solemn bay Aug 29, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

That's a good point.

amber perch Aug 29, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

Gotta do your homework

tight kelp Aug 29, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

conversely, a total of say, just 3 hours a week of grammar study with some 10 minutes a day of practice would yield so much better results that it would really be a waste to do the bare minimum

amber perch Aug 29, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

Im currently using duolingo so Ill have to at least practice a bit every day

tight kelp Aug 29, 2019, 5:19 PM

Hey! A question, if I open an N26 bank account

#

How do I deposit money?

#

I saw you can do it in DM?

#

But how much can you deposit in one go?

#

And can I pay with it before the card arrives?

#

Please @ me

I have been awaken from my slumber, who asks of N26?

#

@compact slate what you mean deposit money into the account? Like cash?

#

I don't think thats possible, haven't tried honestly. You get money sent into your account from a blocked account if you're a student, and money sent into your account from your job.

compact slate Aug 29, 2019, 6:22 PM

@tropic edge yes, I have no other way

tropic edge Aug 29, 2019, 6:28 PM

That I have no idea about, you'll have to send N26 an email or get in touch with their customer service.

They're really fast

Reading back. Yeah, N26 is flashy, but a bit sketchy. Theyve been flagged by inspectors for a lot of security issues

#

You can use em as a spending money account, but I wouldnt make it your main bank account.

amber perch Aug 30, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

What banks are good for main açcounts

warped atlas Aug 30, 2019, 4:55 AM

#

If you don’t mind the monthly fee, the established Volksbank, Sparkasse would do the trick

#

If you still want to have an online bank, the more established online bank would be Comdirect and DKB (there is also no monthly fee)

#

And for the record, my “main” bank account is N26, which I use to pay bills as well and transfer stuff. So money keeps on flowing in and flowing out....so also my “spending money” account

#

😝

#

But the one I use to save emergency money and for investment etc, I use a second online bank for that

amber perch Aug 30, 2019, 5:12 AM

#

That seems complicated

warped atlas Aug 30, 2019, 5:42 AM

#

I think banks like Commerzbank would also waive their fees if you use their bank as your „main account“ (see, this is why I want to emphasize it) which means you have to put in money more than €1000 a month (which usually means you use their account to receive your salary)

amber perch Aug 30, 2019, 5:51 AM

#

So for the monthly fees, they will be waived if you have a high enough salary?

#

Im thinking of using HSBC

tight kelp Aug 30, 2019, 6:16 AM

#

it depends on the account itself, every bank offers a bunch of them

there are some websites that list apartments, and they seem to manage the renting process etc

Renting through that sort of agency is pretty okay

But some Germans will say that Germany is one of the countries in which people are less likely to interact with strangers, e.g. when just walking around on the street, so maybe that is rather what you are thinking of.

Nuh, there is no significant issue with that. Of course every country has people with extreme views, but it's not really different from other countries.

yeah i was countering the claim itself rather than you claiming it

#

germans are more sociable than italians with strangers, even though italians normally seem to give off the opposite stereotype

solemn bay Sep 2, 2019, 7:54 AM

#

Okay, that's fair. I guess it's more informative to explain it like this anyway: the stereotype of Germans being xenophobic/racist is much more a stereotype people from other countries far from Germany will say. The stuff about socialization is a stereotype Germans would say about themselves, and perhaps some people can confuse the two ideas.

tight kelp Sep 2, 2019, 7:55 AM

#

and @amber perch , what you heard is most likely based on nazi germany, which was a long time ago and didn't end well. Whoever told you that is probably stuck on old prejudices, and either way doesn't know what they're talking about. Honestly from what I see from here, the USA are far, far more racist than Germany as a country

in this day and age, how are these companies functioning? do people really end up finding themeselves w/o a computer so often that justifies their existence?

evidently, yes. These things are born from addressing a niche necessity that everybody else ignored

#

many people, like Eziome, need one just for a limited time. Others just need it once in a while. Some want to test a model to see if they want to buy it, some write reviews on them but don't want to buy each model just for that

warped atlas Sep 3, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

Check the online recommendation, but usually you would get somewhere between 750 to 1250 netto during your normal semester. and a lot more because of hourly rate in the summer @soft spoke

If you are going to work at some place like Bosch in BaWü, €1250 netto would be a quite high Gehalt, but reasonable for such a big company.

#

Btw, as a student, you „don‘t“ pay taxes if you earn under €9000 a year. (Still have to declare taxes to get that paid taxes back though)

I don't know how delivery works. Where I come from the delivery company calls you and sets a time and place. If they can't find you they'll call you again to see where you at.

How will they come up to the flat without a key though?

shut gorge Sep 4, 2019, 8:45 PM

ah, fair enough

they can just ring your door from outside the building, and you should have a button to be able to open the door for them in your flat (if its a modern building)

tight kelp Sep 5, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

@amber perch the best strategy would be to stay at a friend's or get an airbnb. A longer-term solution like a WG or rented flat requires a german bank account, which requires a german address*, and the chances that someone would rent even a room in a wg without seeing the person are slim

* it's a horrible vicious circle that expats have to go through to live here. Luckily you can register your address even if you don't rent or own the place, meaning you can do it at an airbnb place, a friend's place, or even a hotel, which serves as the first "base of operations" to get started

#

i had the luck of finding an absolutely lovely airbnb host who let me sub-rent the flat for a year and a half, and after that i was ready to move to a flat rented outright

I think all delivery companies suck in the same way. Jobs like these or in logistics (think amazon) are in dire need of trade unions, but since most jobs are seasonal it wouldn't really work in the traditional way

I'm looking at studying in Germany, and it seems like the best locations for my major are in Baden-Württemburg, how different is the german spoken there? Namely in/around Stuttgart

foggy prism Sep 10, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

you may encouter some dialect stuff in BaWü, but you will have zero issues anywhere in Germany

#

especially not in cities, and especially not at universities

#

you have to be lucky to find dialect speakers in Germany

stable nymph Sep 10, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

will Hochdeutsch still be the default or will people default to the local dialect?

vague brook Sep 11, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

I wouldn't be so sure about the area around Stuttgart

#

From my experience the dialekt is pretty strong there

#

And North of Stuttgart

stable nymph Sep 11, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

What about Tübingen? That was another one I was looking at

vague brook Sep 11, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

Dunno about south, didn't get that far

#

Can't tell really, just speaking for Stuttgart because I live like 1 hour away from it

stable nymph Sep 11, 2019, 12:04 AM

#

I'll just assume it to be similar then, it's fairly close anyways

#

~43km apparently

vague brook Sep 11, 2019, 12:05 AM

#

It's manageable tho, takes some practice

#

Probably university won't be that dialect-strong

stable nymph Sep 11, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

If I just speak Hochdeutsch would I be able to get by?

vague brook Sep 11, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

On your side there will never be any problems with just hochdeutsch

#

The problem is understanding people speaking dialect

stable nymph Sep 11, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

Of course, how likely is someone to switch to hochdeutsch then? Would they just continue using their dialect?

vague brook Sep 11, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

Uh, it really depends on the person

#

And who you are talking with

#

I stopped asking them to swap to hochdeutsch a while ago ;-)

stable nymph Sep 11, 2019, 12:08 AM

#

Just generally speaking would people stick to their dialect more often or is it kinda 50/50

And never really did in the first place

stable nymph Sep 11, 2019, 12:09 AM

I'm personally bad at german atm, but I'm hoping to get to like b2-c1 before I have to study there

#

So dialects are really scary

vague brook Sep 11, 2019, 12:09 AM

#

Depends where you are. In bigger cities it shouldn't be a problem, and you will learn it good enough to get by in a while

stable nymph Sep 11, 2019, 12:10 AM

#

Alright sounds reasonable enough then, I'll just have to continue practicing normally I guess 😛

vague brook Sep 11, 2019, 12:10 AM

#

But it's not like people speak dialects only in villages with no electricity, you will find it in cities too. Bothering with dialects is a waste of time anyway for an average learner

#

And it's not that terrible, if your German is good enough you will get by

stable nymph Sep 11, 2019, 12:12 AM

#

Of course I know that, it's likely the same with any language

tame forum Sep 12, 2019, 11:21 AM

@lunar garden turkey would be my best bet.

plenty of Kieferorthopäden dont do controls for other doctors because why would they take responsibility for the work of someone else in case something goes wrong, also have different methods and plan the therapy different

vague brook Sep 12, 2019, 11:28 AM

#

Denn gerade eine langfristige Behandlung mit einer Zahnspange erfordert regelmäßige Kontrollen und Anpassungen, um die gewünschte Zahnstellung zu erreichen. Allerdings ist es nicht realistisch, dass ein in Deutschland niedergelassener Zahnarzt oder Kieferorthopäde einen Patienten mit im Ausland eingepasster Zahnspange weiterbehandelt.

In der Konsequenz bedeutet das, dass es entweder erforderlich sein würde, während der oftmals mehrere Jahre dauernden Behandlung regelmäßig wieder ins Ausland reisen zu müssen, um die Zahnspange vom behandelnden Zahnarzt einstellen und weiter anpassen zu lassen. Oder es müsste in Deutschland eine neue Zahnspange angefertigt werden, was ggf. mit weiteren Kosten verbunden ist – im ungünstigen Fall muss dann zweimal für ein makelloses Gebiss bezahlt werden.

vague brook Sep 12, 2019, 11:31 AM

exotic barn Sep 12, 2019, 11:52 AM

#

That's actually not scientifically proven and insurance firms are currently looking into whether they still want to support braces as part of their dental package

or maybe they were jus saying from anecdotal evidence. from all the patients they have seen over the years

tight kelp Sep 12, 2019, 12:06 PM

while neither of the following work as proof of a causal relationship, there certainly seems to be considerable evidence in favour of a correlation between posture and teeth. Interesting that athletes would seem to suffer magnified effects, too

tight kelp Sep 12, 2019, 1:35 PM

#

many places are surveilled with cameras that detect your speed, so if you go over the limit you're risking a lot. There should be a tolerance of 10% of the limit (so, with 50km/h, you can go as far as 55km/h) but don't quote me on that

50% over the limit, you definitely get three points in Flensburg....

exotic barn Sep 12, 2019, 2:26 PM

The speed tolerance is 3% btw and it's hard to say how many points you'll get based on a percentage here

#

If you drive 150 in a 100km/h zone, you'll get 2 points, for instance

#

Außerorts, that is

You can google "Bußgeldkatalog" which should give you a list with fixed fees based on your speed

i am currently out of ideas concerning an issue i am having here in germany. I am currently a student living in koblenz. soon moving to ingolstadt. I am having a lot of problems with my landlord. 4 months before i have to leave i sent him am email concerning me leaving the house. He didnt reply. ( please note that he has a tendency not to reply the emails) . In the email i asked him what should i do to end the contract usw. He left me with no answer. note: whenever there's things to talk about concerning his money- he usally reply my emails instantly. Last year he even tried to make us pay for waste water services , garbage trucks and all. But it was not included in our contract. he kept forcing us. Now , with 4 emails i sent him concerning my movement, he call me only 1 month before i go, then told me i have to pay for 3 more months because he didnt get any letter concerning that, he never told me i needed to do that, even if he left no instructions on how should we do i even tried to email him a kündigung letter through mail, and asked is this correct or not. Of course he did not replyy. in addition, he is also forcing us to find new people for the house. (i live in a house with 8 people). But we have seen that he already posted thehouse on immoscout24. What should i do? where can i ask for help?

warped atlas Sep 13, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

You don‘t have his phone number?

#

International office might be able to help you...but...maybe not so much. If there‘s a Mieterverein near you, you can go there and have a consultation

#

Otherwise, I‘m not sure what exactly else you can do, other than setting all the paper trails in order in case he wants to chase after you with it

#

Check it as well with your Mitbewohner

#

Maybe they have handled or heard something like this before

tight kelp Sep 13, 2019, 9:11 AM

#

you can also check if there's any institution or verein devoted to helping your nationals with integration issues. If there is, they may give you a few pointers

#

hopefully you won't have to go through a lawyer, but what he's doing is definitely not allowed. You have no obligation to find someone who'd rent after you, and you did give notice of your leaving in advance—it's not your responsibility if he can't receive it properly through a means that has been accepted and used by both. Just make sure to keep proof that you have contacted him when appropriate since he will certainly claim otherwise

Btw @warped atlas after arriving in Germany, is it necessary that i first have to go to Einwohnermeldeamt and only then i can go to the Ausländerbehörde? Or is either order fine? Because when i was sending a general email to my local Ausländerbehôrde, the person replied only [w/o answering the 3 questions i had asked]
"Guten Tag,

nach den mir vorliegenden Unterlagen sind Sie bisher nicht in Duisburg angemeldet.

Von daher bitte ich Sie, mir zunächst eine Kopie Ihres Nationalpasses und Ihres Aufenthaltstitels / Visums zu übersenden.".

Which makes me think the registering at the Einwohnermelde part has to come first.

warped atlas Sep 13, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

No, it‘s more or less they need a copy of your passport in their document folders. They would have had it if you had registered, I guess. But it still doesn‘t change anything much because you still need to give the proper paperwork to the ABH for all the other stuff (bank account, insurance, etc)

#

The Einwohnermeldeamt doesn‘t take care of the insurance and all that shit

#

But they would take a copy of your passport

That‘s what you need to ask them

#

The ABH is supposed to give you a list of things to bring.

#

Your obligation is just to make an appointment with them, and getting a list of things to bring

#

As for the Einwohnermeldeamt, you can do that as soon as you arrive, no appointment (depending on the city)

oh okay, then i will inform the guy that i am not in germany and never have been, and what all stuff shud i get to the appointment

For questions about which documents you need and where to send them it is is important that, if you ask for help here, state

how long you will stay in Germany
if you are a student or a working person etc.
which country you come from
This will make it a lot more easier to help you or sent you the helping links.

exotic gorge Sep 13, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

They may have a mailing address and a address of residence. You can ask them to mail to the Airbnb for that week you're there and then redirect them to your new apartment when you can get mail from there. I am not sure if that's a real form, but it sounds like something the German bureaucracywould offer? You may say this to someone at the Einwohneramt, and they can leave a note on your file

tame forum Sep 13, 2019, 1:43 PM

sounds good. i will email them asking about this too.

tame forum Sep 13, 2019, 2:08 PM

yah i will keep that in mind.

warped atlas Sep 13, 2019, 3:03 PM

#

The Einwohnermeldeamt would send stuff to your address in the next few weeks, so if you‘re only staying a week, you can safely give your future address.

#

Though if you want to be REALLY sure, ask them to send it to the AirBnb, especially if it‘s expected to come in the next days, and if you somehow have to move out already, there is an option by deutsche Post, you can do it online, to do a Nachsendeauftrag for a month.

Mind telling which uni and which city you're staying in at the moment?

tame forum Sep 14, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

@exotic barn first decide the uni u want to go to. and then decide the process. not the other way around. and then start asking your target uni about the Ects requirements and how u can fulfill them.

#

all unis are different in the way the accept transfers and new students.

#

for example @fair talon was missing some business course credits, and his uni told him that a MOOC will suffice.

#

this MIGHT be the case for the uni u want to go to

tropic edge Sep 14, 2019, 5:55 PM

yeah research is king when it comes to studying in Germany. There are so many things you need to look up that we can't look up for you or won't understand because we don't know your background or literally anything about you.

@warped atlas @fair talon i kinda have one more doubt. my cities alien office hasnt mentioned the docs i shud bring on their website [i have sent them a mail asking them for the docs] still i was curious if it was the same case everywhere and i checked Hamburgs website......and all the PDF's of the stuff thats required is beutifully listed

1] would it be fine if i jus referred to hamburgs pdf and see the docs that i need to bring? i imagine the same documents would be needed since this is a legal matter no?

heady crane Sep 14, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

Just a general recommendation:
I know it is much easier to do anything by email but if it comes to legal matters of any kind, use the good old snail mail and registered letters with "Rückschein" so that you have proof you have sent something and it was received and read by the right person.
As for emails some landlord tend to say someone else was on their computer or they never got the email etc. pp (some officed as well) so the snail mail is the best way, especially when it comes to matters regarding any legal aspects and certain periods where you have to answer within.

fair talon Sep 14, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

Mhm. Email is for practicality. Nothing beats paper for a 'paper trail' though

#

@tame forum Documents for? If youre talking student residence visa, then yeah, I'd say thats a pretty safe bet (I brought extra documents to mine though).
The base requirements are fairly uniform for those visas

tame forum Sep 15, 2019, 6:17 AM

#

@fair talon yeh i mean student resident visa

#

@heady crane thanks for the tip. And i will put it in use once m in Germany. Since m not there rn, its email for me. =(

tight kelp Sep 15, 2019, 8:35 AM

#

I don't think their claiming someone else was on their computer could have any legal validity whatsoever

#

it's their responsibility to keep their emails, as well as post and any other means of private communciation, private, and certainly not the fault of the person sending the letter lol

#

furthermore, since the spoken word can be legally binding, I don't see why emails wouldn't be. As long as you can prove that you sent them.

#

there are also ways to send emails and receive a confirmation when they are received

#

however, obligatory "i'm not a lawyer" here

heady crane Sep 15, 2019, 9:07 AM

#

@tight kelp well, this is a good opinion but I just recommended going for a safe side which will probably lead to the fewest problems.
I agree with you in all almost all parts, but I also know that the concept of proof is harder when it comes to emails as there can be technical problems etc.
Postal registered letters (with or without "Rückschein") are (yes, this is old-fashioned) accepted as proof of action much more easier and quicker.

And if comes to periods of time you have to answer or write within, I would rather you for the safe way.
But this is everyone´s own decision, I just wrote a recommendation (out of experience... took me 3 years to get through a lawsuit because the e-mail sending was doubted as well as the receiving... 😦

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

Also, even if youre not in Germany, international paper mailing is cheap af (usually only a Euro or two, I think even less if youre still in the EU)

#

Additionally, if I recall correctly ("I'm also not a lawyer"), all court documents must be in German. So if you think he might drag it out legally, it might be a good idea to send it in German, however broken it may be, to avoid paying for an official translation later (#writing could be of some help)

#

@tame forum Yeah, only thing I would watch out for then would possibly be any minute changes in the application form (For example, the application form on its website says Hamburg at the bottom of it), and a difference in fees (The Hamburg Welcome Center implied to me when I was there that theyre not implementing the new blocked account amounts until the next semester, other cities might be different)

you can make ma summary please in DM @tame forum

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 1:34 PM

#

Funny enough, wouldnt the medicine program not even need a bachelors technically to apply? Since its supposed to be something you go to after your (13th?) year?

#

In Germany that is*

#

Of course, it does help with meeting the Abitur equivalency requirements I think

@proven rock what do you mean?

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 1:36 PM

They want you to copy paste everything you said and send it to them in a private message I suppose @tame forum

and jake is right

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 1:41 PM

yea i somehow find getting a "semi-free" spot at medschool here quite... unlikely

proven rock Sep 15, 2019, 1:41 PM

i didn't find more infos in internet

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 1:42 PM

Nothing at all?

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 1:42 PM

#

giving how many germans are actually traveling to other countries to get medschool diploma because there's like 13 people per NC spot in here

tame forum Sep 15, 2019, 1:42 PM

well he can copy paste it himself .

ok thx

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

how does it actually look like, you compete with other Germans over a spot, and one with the best grades takes it?

#

because i assume that there's no free Abteilungen just for foreigners for them to study for free and leave the country

#

but then, germany sometimes is that stupid

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

https://www.medicalstudyguide.com/admission-to-medicine-in-germany.html this site has a decent checklist of requirements @proven rock

#

@vague brook Think it depends on the program/uni. I think some have quotas for internationals, others do strictly 'best grade + cover letter wins'

#

Universität Hamburg does the latter I believe (they do assign 'hardship' points to the scoring system though, which can compensate a little for grades, but not entirely)

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

from what i've read getting a spot in medschool here is hilarious

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 1:52 PM

#

I mean, I feel like medschool is a bit crazy everywhere 😅
The only program in the US where you started preparing during your high school (10th-12th year) years

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 1:52 PM

#

i mean i had to be in the 0,1% of the best to get a spot too, but it somehow seemed less complicated

foggy prism Sep 15, 2019, 1:54 PM

#

I had a classmate who wanted to study med (she ended up not doing so) and saw some of the stuff she was learning for the test

#

it was essentially a super long concentration / memory / pattern-finding test

#

stuff like ”here’s a list of people and attributes, now work on these unrelated problems for 30 minutes, now answer stuff about that list from before”

proven rock Sep 15, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

thx for the website

#

i will check it

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

exams during medschool were fun, sometimes they took 240 minutes and you wanted to shot yourself before finishing 1/3 of it

foggy prism Sep 15, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

what I don’t know is if that test is the only thing she had to do, and if not, how important it was

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

Well, got my syllabi for my Masters courses, and 90% of them are Final exam only

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

but the uni itself is just a fat big filter, because 90% of stuff you learn is irrelevant later anyway

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

(As far as grading is concerned)

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 1:56 PM

it's just to check if you are dedicated enough

#

#

especially the pre-clinical is an absurd

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 2:06 PM

@proven rock Just to comment on something you mentioned earlier: The student visa won't care if your plan is to work 25 hours a day every day of the year. You need to have the visa amount (10500something€) in a blocked account/have someone with sufficient income sign a legal guarentee to support you during your studies.
Thats a requirement before studies start

#

I took a year and a half off between my bachelors and my masters to save up enough for that

@proven rock he got a bachelors degree first. and then worked with his degree to earn money and save. it and then go for masters

#

meanwhile u dont have a bachelors degree.

Ist es besser zu schreiben Praktikum, Name der Firma oder Praktikantin, Name der Firma im Lebenslauf?
Danke im Voraus

foggy prism Sep 15, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

geht mMn beides, sollte aber überall gleich sein, also, wenn du Praktikum schreibst, dann auch Studium und nicht Studentin, etc

tame forum Sep 15, 2019, 7:04 PM

silly doubt i guess: so Aldi talk [sim card] has a prepaid option. 8 euro = 28 days worth of use [includes unlimited calls/ unlimited SMS and 2GB data.]

then later on their website i saw "You can buy vouchers of 5 , 15 and 30 Euros" this is only for buying internet data right? i mean what else can one do with the money vouchers.

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

uh, call people?

#

:D

#

Is it unlimited to every provider, or just the same?

#

and calling someone outside of the country usually doesnt count towards unlimited either

tame forum Sep 15, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

ah yah damn forgot about that.

#

and wait a min never thought about ""unlimited to every provider, or just the same" i jus assumed every provider

#

idk y

tropic edge Sep 15, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

you charge the amounts so you could pay the 8 euros a month

#

It's a prepaid package sort of thing

tame forum Sep 15, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

as in u jus load it in ur mobile and 8 bucks get deducted every month?

#

is that what ur saying?

tropic edge Sep 15, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

yup

tame forum Sep 15, 2019, 7:20 PM

ahh

vague brook Sep 15, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

it could be the same or all of them, tbh im not sure because as for my german phone number, i just charge enough for my number not to get locked

#

98% people still use my polish number and i just need the german one to occasionally "get stuff done", although i often call from my polish one just out of habit

#

:p

oh yah i bet EU ppl can jus use their numbers everywhere and stuff

U.a.e. is 7

u shud move here

foggy prism Sep 15, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

mine is 10 long but the first digit is 0 for all numbers (it’s the “inland” prefix)

#

so really it’s 9

#

0 or +41 followed by 9 digits

@tame forum I'm on LidlConnect (same thing basically, just Lidl instead).
Basically, you got the "activation" card, which gets you your first 28 days + the physical SIM card.
Then you have "account credit" cards, which add credit to your prepaid account.
At the end of your 28 days, the account tries to use another 28 days worth of credit (a 5€ plan will try to use 5€, 10€ will use 10€, etc). These "account credit" cards can be used to add that amount, so you can use the number for longer than 28 days.

#

The credit can also be used if you call long distance/use more data than youre allowed.

#

Using those account credit cards, ive had the same Lidl number for about 3 months now 👀

tame forum Sep 15, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

ahhh. yah. makes sense

fair talon Sep 15, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

You can also use it if you decide you want to change what plan youre on too. I was on the 10-12ish € plan before I switched to the 5€ one (I basically live, commute, and work in wifi now, so its just for google searching between spots)

tame forum Sep 15, 2019, 8:13 PM

damn lidl has a 5 euro plan too?

i will look that up

cuz i dont need calls and sms and shit too.
