Hi guys I have a question ( I am from iraq and eanted to do an Ausbildung in Germany with B1 certificate ) but I visited ÖSD institute in my country, they suggested to learn German until I reach B2 from them and rhey will apply for a university for me there

My wuestion was ( somone in Germany told me that there is an organization in Getmany which basically gives you a loan for education, and then when you geta job you pay it off )

I was thinking if thats true, and will it workout for me ?

And That Some Universities will offer accomodations for free, idk ??

[fiery edge]

Yeah there are credit institutes that help finance your studies. Whether it will work out for you, i have no idea since i got no experience with it myself. One of the more popular ones is KfW Kreditinstitut.

[fiery edge]

Don't think that's true. Universities have dorms but you still pay rent

[vast current]

do you know how much it is

[fiery edge]

Depends on the uni and city

Munich or Berlin would be more expensive than a smaller city for example

I lived in a student dorm in Mainz for a while and paid around 260€ for a room in a shared flat. Don't remember the exact figure tho

[vast current]

fair enough

not very expensive

[fiery edge]

You can look up this info online. Just look up for example TU Berlin Student dorm and u can see the rent the charge on their website

[vast current]

ok thank you very much

[open finch]

Can I get an Arbeiteserlaubnis during my Studienkolleg in HS Kaiserlautern?

[merry magnet]

KfW only loan to Germans 😦 https://www.kfw.de/inlandsfoerderung/Privatpersonen/Studieren-Qualifizieren/Förderprodukte/KfW-Studienkredit-(174)/?redirect=649475

I actually have a question related to that:

I need to extend my visa but I don't have enough money to do the blocked account thing. However, I'm working (as a courier). Do you guys know what alternatives I have?

Is there any credit institut that could loan me money and you could recommend me?

[olive summit]

is it a part-time or full time job? you could use that to help reach the required amount

[merry magnet]

part-time. I made the math and I won't be able to reach the amount 😦

[burnt vale]

when they say at least 18 hours per week for the language learning visa.... is that equivalent to 18 UE

they call it Unterrichtsstunden instead

but it's actually 15 hours....

😂

[tribal surge]

I need to choose if I want to rent in München vs Berlin and I can't make my mind, I've lived for two months in München and I loved it, the best part is that I am very close to the alps and I love to hike, I try to go every other weekend

Berlin however seems very lively, there are many meetups and various groups of international friends, it seems at least from what I have seen online that it is easier to get to meet people
also, everything is cheaper

does anyone have impressions about both cities?

I am at the point where I can sacrifice some money for the extra feelings 🙂

[hard shore]

Hey guys, I do not know if there is someone here that went through the same as me. I am in Germany with a Blue Card, and now I brought my wife to Germany with a family reunification visa. She needs to apply now to a Residence Permit, but I want to apply to my Permanent Residence as well. The thing is that with a Blue Card, she does not have to learn German in order to apply. Do you know if I get the Permanent Residence before she gets the Residence Permit, would I still be able to have the Blue Card Benefits? Like is there some way to keep it?

[exotic barn]

Wanderst du oft? 😂

[tribal surge]

joa

[burnt vale]

when they require your letzte zwei schulzeugnisse do you also include the certificates for your Abschlussprüfungen or not?

because they didn't mention Abschlussprüfungen but the requirements is a mittlere reife

this is for an ausbildung

[untold bloom]

Your Aufenthaltstitel is your residence permit

[hard shore]

Yes i had mine for a while. I am just asking to get the one for my wife so that she doesn’t have to take a language test while I apply for a Permanent Residency

[untold bloom]

Ah okay I misread your post

[thick dagger]

Yo guys
I am resubmitting my application to a German university that I was admitted to and enrolled in last year. I unenrolled due to several reasons.
Is it bad to submit the same motivation letter or should I rephrase it? I feel it would appear cringey in both cases

I want your thoughts on this

[fiery cedar]

How much are Handy contracts are usually? Is paying 40 euros for 10gb from Vodafone is normal?

[olive summit]

My very basic plan with Aldi talk is 60 a year, but its only 12gb for the whole year

[tropic imp]

Living in Munich for 2 years and I really don't like it. It is very difficult to meet people and as you already noticed there is a total lack of any sort of meetups/events where you can make new friends. The city is really pretty and near to the alps, but that is about it. Also finding a nice place for living is way too difficult.

[tribal surge]

Sorry to hear, yeah those are my fears about Munich too, do you study or work there?

[tropic imp]

I am studying, but in October I will start working in Berlin!

[tribal surge]

Nice, I hope you will enjoy it more there

[tropic imp]

Thanks. I hope so too

[tribal surge]

I‘ll go for a few weeks in Berlin in June and I will make up my mind then, I hope

[tropic imp]

Best of luck mate

[fiery cedar]

Pick Berlin Munich is not good place for Auslander

and expensive

[fiery edge]

Oh okay. During COVID they had it even for international students

[exotic barn]

Is a chicken schnitzel like a chicken tender sort of

[exotic barn]

Does anyone know why smoking is still a "cool thing" that young people in Germany seem to do or tolerate?

[gray parcel]

No it´s more like a breaded chickensteak. But in Germany you normally eat Schnitzel out of calf or pork.

[gray parcel]

Actually the numbers of young smokers in Germany going down. Its not that popular anymore

[exotic barn]

Yeah but that's not really what I'm talking about, even if it's dropping (that's great) I've encountered far, far, far more young Germans and Austrians tolerant of smoking than I have young Americans
I looked for studies on how attractive Germans find smokers but I could only find German news articles that cited studies with samples from elsewhere

So I'm not sure if I'd be able to give you concrete proof of this phenomenon, but I am wondering how it came about that people are, to whatever the extent actually is, tolerant of smokers in Germany

[gray parcel]

Mhh i dont know. Maybe its connected with the german tradition to drink alcohol. People are more relaxed with "soft" drugs here. But can´t tell you a specific reason

[exotic barn]

Hmm

Hey everyone. Who knows where I can search for apartments?

Hi everyone.

[exotic barn]

I've heard German banks take unpaid debts very seriously. Will I encounter trouble as a person with a lot of student debt coming to Germany?

[olive summit]

are you from the US? after a certain amount of time your student debt goes away if you permanently settle abroad.

and no from my experience banks dont know/care -- as far as opening a regular bank account you shouldn't have any issues

[exotic barn]

that sounds really wrong

[exotic barn]

ok that's great phew

[olive summit]

its not but it takes around 20 years or so, your loan payments reach 0 when you're no longer based in the US and are thus forgiven. This of course requires you not to generate any income in the US during this long time period.

and also requires your effective income abroad to be less than 100k, the maximum excluded from a US tax return. If you report 0$ income in the US, your loan payments reach 0$. The statute of limitations will run its course over time and the loan will no longer be collectable.

[exotic barn]

my economics friend says this sounds incredibly made up, like all of it. do you have any source for this? I would be of course interested if it were true

[olive summit]

this has more to due with a loophole in US tax code than economics

https://www.studentloanplanner.com/flee-country-student-loans/

If you live outside the country long enough, the statute of limitations on your private loan will lapse. When that happens, you'll no longer be liable to repay those debts. This result is one of the pros of strategic default on student loans.

[exotic barn]

Sorry for sounding skeptical before (I still am a little) but it seemed too good to be true that "hey do this thing you were already planning on and the biggest worry hanging over your head that would normally stick around for years of blood-sweat-and-tears work will just disappear effortlessly"

that would be so dope holy crap

[olive summit]

Well another thing you can do in the interim is report that you are still in education (abroad that is) which exempts you from payments no matter where you live.

[exotic barn]

wait how long can you claim that after being done with education? cause I am 💀

might do grad school further down the line but just wanna work rn

[olive summit]

this involves forsaking your ability to earn any income in the US so it is a huge commitment

[exotic barn]

o damn like forever?

[olive summit]

I know the loans were put on freeze during corona but I believe that's over, its now 6 months after graduation you are exempt from payments

for the foreseeable future until your loans lapse yeah

any income you earn in the US must be reported to the IRS, abroad there is a limit of 100k which can be exempt

[exotic barn]

damn ok

I might end up at that route one day though, thanks for bringing it to my attention

[olive summit]

no problem, I recently found out about it myself and was quite shocked but it seems to check out with various attorneys and other expats

[burnt vale]

in other countries they'd first not permit the loaner to leave the country in the first place tho... does the US not do this?

[olive summit]

wym people with loans can travel

it's not like borrowing money is a felony

[slate shoal]

Vielen Dank

[humble bough]

they did actually extend this through August 31 2022 fwiw

[humble bough]

fwiw just a few caveats (which I assume are in the linked article but just for anyone who doesn't click through -- you need to sign up for an income-based repayment plan and stay on it. This is what most people do anyway but you have to actively sign up for that, so keep that in mind. The other thing to know is that after the allotted time period (20-25 years depending which plan you qualify for) they will tax you on your forgiven loan balance. That amount will almost certainly be way less than you'd have paid in student loans over 20-25 years, but you need to be aware of that and plan ahead.

but yeah like most of it is just doing the tax filing that you're legally obligated to be doing anyway and as long as you're not earning money in the states while you live here, it's just following their own rules

it also technically doesn't involve completely forsaking your ability to earn money in the US, but your money in the US will go towards your US taxable income and if that's too high, they'll want you to make payments of more than $0 a month

[exotic barn]

Thanks!!

[humble bough]

the way I figure, I'll pay if they make me, but if their own rules let me not pay, I'm not gonna jump through hoops to pay them more

[olive summit]

yea especially if the amount due isn't significant, they aren't chasing down expats who haven't been to the US in years

[proven badge]

Does this apply if you're from Africa too?

[olive summit]

Well my experience and research revolves around the US since i am a US citizen so no idea

[proven badge]

Ok.

[proven badge]

I have a question. Any student that will travel to Germany must open a blocked account and transfer £ 10,322 to it and show it as proof. Can I open this blocked account with the banks within my country.

[real shoal]

I think yes we all should do it i couldn’t do it in my country too but i opened a account in a deutsch bank and i transferred everything in it

[proven badge]

Ummm, yeah, but I actually want to know if this can only be done with a German bank or with banks in my country.

[proven badge]

But since you said you couldn't do it in your country, that means it can only be done with German banks

So I guess these German banks can be opened online???

[real shoal]

I don’t know but in mt countey Algeria blocked account doesn’t exist

[real shoal]

Ues everything is online it’s easy

[proven badge]

Oh, ok. Thanks

Hello does anyone know anything about remote work from Austria? Like how are taxes handled ? Also is it highly possible that a germany based company would accept such employee and do this for him?

[jolly cradle]

hey, there is someone who got a scholarship in Germany?

[fiery cedar]

Is there any rule/law about smoking in front of the apartment? there is a guy non stop smoking in front of our apartment I believe he is also tenant here, he goes outside but just in front of the door everyday smoking, it is hot outside so i let windows open but my entire apartment is smelling like ash tray ffs, i am in Hesse

[chrome mulch]

have you tried talking to him? The next step would, to my mind at least, not be the police but rather getting in touch with the Hausverwaltung/Vermieter

they can give you information about the Hausordnung

[fiery cedar]

I told him not to do that directly in front of apartment and please get a little bit far just like 5 steps there is small area like a park, he didn't care at all

The apartment itself is nonsmoking area its written in contract thats why he is doing it outside

Vermieter owns entire building and all the apartments, next step is I am going to mail him yea

Hello!
I plan to go to München for one week in June. If I want to commute by bus, train, or even S-/U-Bahn if available, where can I purchase my tickets?
How much does it costs?
I saw online that tickets can be bought for 100€/person for a week, but I feel like there might be something cheaper than that :x
(Please ping me for the reply!)

[chrome mulch]

@turbid orbit So, there's several options for doing this. What you should do is look at the website:
https://www.mvg.de/tickets-tarife/
There is a special section for visitors. I would say that the CityTourCard looks like a pretty good deal, 6 days for 44€ (one person) plus it has deals on attractions/museums, whatnot. More info on this specific card here:
https://www.mvg.de/dam/jcr:06becd22-743e-490f-aabc-e5b3e3e5317a/CTC-MUE-Flyer.pdf
https://www.yumpu.com/de/document/read/66038414/citytourcard-munchen-guide

you can buy the ticket(s) at a ticket machine or at a service-center for the MVG.
To note: if you are traveling to/from the airport upon arriving and departing, you will need to buy a ticket that extends to this zone. (the zones will be visible on maps/Fahrplan). This is more expensive, so don't get caught with a non-applicable ticket outside your zone or they will try to make you pay a fine.

München is a big city. If you have questions about anything, I would assume that the people at 'Servicestellen' are used to speaking english. Don't be afraid to ask.

[olive summit]

umm, why not just buy the 9 euro ticket lol

it is valid from the first of June, you can even buy it now

not sure if it covers S-Bahn but regular city buses are covered

https://www.s-bahn-muenchen.de/tickets/9-euro-monatsticket

seems to be good for it, only long-distance ICE trains and alike are not covered

[chrome mulch]

das habe ich komplett vergessen lol. Vorteil des Semestertickets 😂 Hätte aber nicht vermutet, dass das 9€-Ticket auch für Tourist*innen gelten würde. Scheint allerdings der Fall zu sein!

[olive summit]

Ja, soweit ich weiß, kann es jeder kaufen.

und ich glaube, für Studenten mit Semestertickets bekommt man einen Gutschein oder sowas.

[potent sierra]

Das Ticket ist für alles Regionalzügen

So sbahn is included

Just searched it

[high lodge]

do you think that Germany based company would willingly accept someone from Austria for remote?

[mystic ingot]

well there is a chance that someone will answer your question...low but there is

[exotic barn]

Für Studenten ist es praktisch gratis.

Denn es ist in dem Semesterbeitrag mitgerechnet

Wenn man das Semesterticket gekauft hat kann man sogar das Geld teilweise zurückbekommen

[turbid orbit]

Als fir gestern, ist das 9€ Ticket die beste Wahl? (Pls correct me if I did any mistakes)

[exotic barn]

Wdym?

Maybe wrong Channel to discuss Life Problems as a foreigner, but has anybody been having Problems Finding Love? I've dated Few Times, hooked Up with some, but since we speak German i don't really feel an emotional Connection because i don't feel German

Regardless of the Person, any Interactions feels Fake and emotionless, even If my German is pretty good( for a foreigner)

Any clues on how go fix This? Even the Other day a Girl at the Gym came to me and after chit Chat asked for Snapchat but i had to decline because im so tired of trying only to failing at Finding a Connection, it's so mentally and emotonally draining

[chrome mulch]

I ended up with a german who speaks perfect english and we speak english (my native language) 90% of the time, so that worked out. But I feel this very strongly with making friends. It's really difficult to feel like there's always a sort of wall between you and other people because you can't express yourself 'naturally' (the way you would maybe be funny or witty in your mother language). Sadly no advice for fixing it. I end up befriending a lot of foreigners. Maybe that tactic will work for love, too.

[exotic barn]

so the solution to finding companionship in germany is to play pretend that you are not in germany

my plan is to study ernährungswissenschaft after finisching my Ausbildung as Koch and later become a private Koch and Berater for Sportlers but i really doubt i'll be able to stay in germany without companionship

i've been coping these years by being a stuck in nerd but i miss being social

[chrome mulch]

have you tried joining any clubs? Germany is famous for its clubs. But yeah...unfortunately, if the problem really is stemming from this plate-of-glass feeling of not being able to think/feel in german, your options are limited to getting much better at german or not limiting your companionship to german partners/pals

[restive magnet]

Hello

I completed my highschool in India wanted to go for bachelor's in Germany and i have A2 geothe certificate. So basically is Studienkolleg mandatory for me and according to what I researched B1 is mandatory for Studienkolleg.

Is this correct

[potent sierra]

Diff stdkollegs hv diff req

Search according to the one u want to apply to

Most have b2 required

Some with b1

[fiery edge]

Depends on what curriculum you had in school. If you did something like CBSE then yeah you'd need to do Studienkolleg. But if something like IB or A-Level then no

[junior kraken]

Hey, does anybody here study at TU Graz? Even better if it's Master Studies. Anyways, I have a few questions. I'm a computer science student from Belgrade, Serbia who will hopefully graduate next year and move to Graz (I have a Bulgarian citizenship, therefore I'm an EU citizen). How do students manage to study while working/work while studying? Is it possible to find a decent job and study for a Master's degree at the same time? What about a job in IT, since I studied for that? Is there anything at TU Graz that can help employed students? How do students in Graz normally manage to pay their rent? Is it better to rent an apartment or to apply for a Studentenheim?

[lusty tundra]

So I don't know about Graz, but generally anywhere you could aim to take up a casual job so that you can fit work around school

[junior kraken]

I mean, like, is it possible with a full time job. Since my parents won't really be able to contribute financially

[lusty tundra]

Generally, no, because your classes will take time out of a 9-5 position

[junior kraken]

oof

is there like a study model at some universities where employed students can still get a master's degree in a way? asking because, for example, at my university it's possible (although, it's a private university)

[lusty tundra]

You can still take many hours as a part time and such, but yeah, and it solely depends on your previous education as to whether you can find a "decent" job or (e.g.) near minimum wage

[lusty tundra]

You should ring up the Uni and ask them

[junior kraken]

yeah, good idea

and what is berufsbegleitendes Studium? I know what it means in German, but what do they mean by it?

[junior kraken]

Yeah, I'm actually aiming for a junior dev job or something, because I gotta pay rent, food, utilities, etc.

[lusty tundra]

Roughly "work alongside education"

So you can take too many classes that don't steal all of your time so you can get a part time job or something

[junior kraken]

ohh alright

[lusty tundra]

If you have a bachelor's and a little work experience, you could definitely

Most dev positions are very flexible, where you can work from home, have some weekdays off, etc.

Also, you shouldn't require perfect German for it

[junior kraken]

currently, the only work experience I have was a 2 week unpaid internship that involved creating a master data management system for an insurance company (yes, that shit is normal in Serbia for some reason), but maybe I could also do something more before I move; also, there are projects that we did for exams, and some extra-curricular project I'm working on with a professor

[lusty tundra]

You should be good without experience, but it always helps to have a thicker CV

[junior kraken]

German won't really be a problem, but yeah, the IT industry is generally known for that lol

[junior kraken]

yeah, of course

I've been thinking of doing some freelance work during the summer

I moved from an EU country to Germany in 2018 and have been working for a couple of years now.
My EU personal ID card has been taken at the airport last time i flied cuz i forgot to change the address in the ID card of my home country so it wasnt valid anymore.
Im without an ID card in Germany atm and wanted to deal with it during summer (i do have Reise pass).

The problem is i found an internship company (Ausbildung) and they told me to bring Sozialversicherungsausweis oder Personalausweis... i kind of feel ashamed to say that i have to make one

Is there a chance for me to make a German ID card coming from an EU country and living since 2018 / working since 2019?

cuz going to my home country for ID will be hard cuz of work atm

[turbid orbit]

Have you tried going to your EU Country's ambassy? (If there's one in Germany) :x

yes i did and they told me they dont make ID cards, only Reise pass

that i would have to go to home country for ID card

Hallo Leute, ich weiss, dass diese Thema nicht richtig mit der Idee dieses Kanal passt. Weiss nicht an wem sonst sollte ich mich wenden, daher mache ich lieber hier ein Beitrag. Ruhig löschen wenn es nicht Regeln des Forums erfühlt.

Meine Schwester wird in 2 Wochen ihre Geburtstag in Wien feiern. Da sie dort nur kurz lebt, kennt sie die Lokale und berühmte Sehenwürdigkeiten fast nicht. Also habe ich die Initiative ergreift und organisiere den Ausflug. Und wem sonst soll ich fragen, als Wiener/Österreicher in Fleisch und Blut aus dieser Gruppe. Was kann man alles eigentlich im Wien tun? Wo gib's das besten Essen. Underground bars? Wie kann man Wien am besten erleben.

[chrome mulch]

if you meet the admission requirements, you can study in Germany.

you need to look up the specific uni and degree program and make sure you check all the boxes, so to speak. Also see uni-assist for info on whether your Hochschulzugangsberechtigung qualifies for admission or whether you need to write extra tests or visit a studienkolleg.

[dire hemlock]

That’s a huge word

You usually get this as soon as you register for a Krankenversicherung. They send it to you by post. It's also called Rentenversicherungsnummer. If you have TK, you can also view this on their app i think if you have an account, otherwise you'd have to get in touch with the Krankenkasse if you can't find it

Ah my bad i just read that you're talking about an Ausweis. I haven't heard of needing one. Usually just the number is enough, but yeah the Krankenkasse should be the right place for it

Entering the country and finding a Ausbildungsbetrieb

[dense trout]

With a visa or residence permit to look for a training place, you can enter Germany for up to six months in order to apply for a training place on site. When you are in Germany, it is best to seek advice from the employment office.

(In german)
Mit dem Visum beziehungsweise der Aufenthaltserlaubnis zur Ausbildungsplatzsuche kannst du bis zu sechs Monate nach Deutschland einreisen, um sich vor Ort auf eine Ausbildungsstelle zu bewerben.

Wenn du dann in Deutschland bist solltest du am besten beim Arbeitsamt dich beraten lassen.

oh hello

I'm currently living in Düsseldorf, got here with only the passport (90days thingy)

I applied for the students visa (I think it's a residence permit?) like 3 weeks ago, but I haven't been able to get an answer from the Amt

now I'm getting worried because my 90 days end on the 16th

does someone knows if I can wait for it in germany somehow if I get the Termin after the 16th (prob gonna happen i think)?

or if getting out of Schengen zone with some days left out of the 90 and come back here only for the appointment is a valid strategy in my case?

I'll move there in 3 years lol

I mean in Düsseldorf

did you call the amt? Don't take my word as legal advice, but usually once you have the termin, you're fine even post-90 days. You can show the termin as proof that you have permission and stay at least until then. At least that's how I always understood it

did you get at least an auto-reply? (assuming you sent in the docs via email??)

[short glade]

@sullen siren I mean, I need to know more about the enrollment process for international students in German Universities

[sullen siren]

Ok then I am sorry that I can't help you because I am from Austria and don't know much about the system over there

[chrome mulch]

in bachelor? TU München, RWTH Aachen, TU Berlin, some of the more well known ones

But generally speaking in Germany most unis at the bachelor level are pretty equal

[short glade]

Recommendations for universities to get bachelor and masters degree in aeronautics in germany?

[olive summit]

yes, not sure about an associate's degree though

you can apply for a higher semester and attempt to transfer your credits, but thats typically done after being accepted and enrolling

can vary depending on uni

Ist es ein gute Idee,an der Bremen Universität BWL oder Winfo zu studieren?

Wie viel wird Geld gebraucht,damit ich in Bremen leben kann?

[chrome mulch]

if you are interested in those topics, then it is fine to study them here 👀

As for how much money you need, that really depends. Will you live in a WG or your own apartment?

[sonic sandal]

Hello here, anyone know of scholarships opportunities for international students first year? Those which are still open in Germany??

[silver zodiac]

Anyone here doing an Ausbildung in Germany ?

[chrome mulch]

sorry bin schlafen gegangen lol. Wenn du dich für diese Fächer interessierst, dann ist es keine schlechte Idee, die an der Uni Bremen zu studieren....Was Budget angeht, hängt von deiner Wohnsituation ab. Hast du vor in einer WG zu wohnen? deiner eigenen Wohnung? in einem Studentenwohnheim? Im Vergleich zu anderen Großstädten in Deutschland ist das Leben in Bremen ziemlich billig.

[vivid trench]

Is a goethe c1 level sufficient to apply for a German taught masters program?

[chrome mulch]

you have to look up the requirements of your specific uni/program

Np

So asking again but I’m soon to start with an Ausbildung financed by the company and not by Arbeitsamt and I haven’t gotten my contract yet , so idk if anyone has experiences and tips I’d appreciate it a lot

My main concern is is there a chance I get bound to the employer for years , as I’m unsure if I’m wanting to stay in this particular town forever

[exotic barn]

Was bedeutet gern im Zusammenhang einer Stellenanzeige? Dass die in der Personalabteilung auch gern solche erfüllten Voraussetzungen akzeptieren?

Beispiel: "React / React Native Entwickler (w/m/d) - gern Fachinformatiker / Informatiker (w/m/d)"

[exotic barn]

what would be the best place in germany to meet a slightly chubby goth teen with daddy issue that listens to alt rock and watches anime who is into gym guys?

[olive summit]

well in an Ausbildung you are typically bound to the company for a few years, it'll say how long on your contract

[exotic barn]

Ausbildungsverhältnisse überschreiten eigentlich nie die 3 Jahre. . Bei guten Leistungen kann man auf 2,5 Jahre verkürzen. Du hast keinerlei Verpflichtung vertraglich, nach der Ausbildung bei dem Unternehmen zu bleiben.

[silver zodiac]

You can’t really change when your lessons take place, mine will indeed last three years

And yeah thanks I’ll just have to read the contract once I get one

[slate dagger]

Hallo

Can anyone share information about the best Medical University in Germany?

[thorn badge]

[short glade]

Can anyone suggest me some universities best for a bachelors degree in science?

[potent sierra]

MIT

German MIT- RWTH

[short glade]

Is the medium of instruction English?

[fiery edge]

Uni Heidelberg is one of the best

[fiery edge]

Look up the TU9. They're the top 9 technical unis in Germany

[chrome mulch]

MIT is in the united states. so yes 😂

[short glade]

Is there any 'easier to get into' universities?

[chrome mulch]

it depends what you want to study. Many degree programs don't even have an NC

what do you plan on doing?

[short glade]

I prefer aeronautics and mathematics

[candid drum]

What could be best for CS

[late spruce]

Guys I have a question , when does a university usually reply to you when you send an application

and can I send documents after the deadline

[candid drum]

Depends

[late spruce]

for german unis

[chrome mulch]

if it is a normal public uni and a bachelor program, there is almost always a date posted on the website or the law for the bundesland

[late spruce]

its because of the embassy appointment

here you have to book early

[chrome mulch]

as for documents: that also depends. Some can be handed in later, some have to be sent with the application. If you get in touch with the international office they can help you.

[candid drum]

If you grades are not converted to germam grades than first itll take 4-6 weeks to do that after you pay for the application by using uni assist. Than it can take further 1-3 weeks to obtain the zulassung when Uniassist furtjers ur document to the university

[chrome mulch]

I don't think there's usually an NC in math, so you should be fine. But in doubt: look up NC + uni name+Studiengang

[late spruce]

they recognise a levels dont they

I read online they need 3.5 A levels

[candid drum]

They do accept a levels

[late spruce]

I will finish that this session

[candid drum]

You need 3 complete A level subjects and 1 (atleast AS) language subject

[late spruce]

and apply for the following year 2023

[late spruce]

I have done full Maths , Chemistry , Arabic and AS biology

and will do the test daf this november

for engineering not med

do you think its enough

[candid drum]

https://www.daad.de/en/study-and-research-in-germany/plan-your-studies/recognition-gce/

This will be helpful for you.

[candid drum]

A atleast 4x4 in TestDAF is a must

[late spruce]

thats high i think

[candid drum]

Most programms dont have NC, they look for 2 things: a university entrance qualification and a language certificate that allows you tp study for german programs

[candid drum]

I am talking about programms in herman language

[late spruce]

you suggest test daf or C1 goethe ?

[candid drum]

They both have pros and cons

[late spruce]

yeah all bachelor is german

I know no english

in germany

[candid drum]

Officially in most university sites if not all only Goethe C2 is equivalent for TestDAF4x4

[late spruce]

C2

WOW

[candid drum]

TestDAF 4x4 will open every german uni for you

Goethe C1 wont

[late spruce]

so test daf it is

[candid drum]

As far as I know From TU9 only TU Darmstadt accepts Goethe C1 for immediate studies.

[late spruce]

but i think I need to do a b2 exam first for the embassy

[late spruce]

yeah

[candid drum]

You must have the Zulassung aswell

Its one of the documents required

I think

[late spruce]

what is that

[chrome mulch]

telc c1 hochschule is another option.

[late spruce]

its not available here and the embassy doesnt recognise it

they only do goethe or OSD

for some reason

[candid drum]

Thats is the admission letter the uni gives you

used for enrollment

[late spruce]

Aha

yeah with the closed bank account

[candid drum]

Yeah

[late spruce]

and the language proof

[candid drum]

yeah

Embassy have the documents that you need at the time of appointment on their website

Must have All of em

[late spruce]

ok thanks guys , this helped because I need to book an appointment early

[late spruce]

yeah I keep seeing them , they change a lot especially in my country cuz of refugees and immigrants

[candid drum]

Ohh

Where Im from it can take upto 4 months to get an appointment

[late spruce]

holy molly

it makes sense tho

germany is a very popular destination now

[candid drum]

Yep

TestDAF 4x4 is no joke, I wish ypu luck bro :) IA you will study in germany.

[late spruce]

hopefully I will be ready by november

[candid drum]

What level of german are u in rn?

[late spruce]

B1 , but I am trash in the language

mybe because of exams

but I will study intensively for 3 months now I am finished

[candid drum]

Youll apply for summer semester?

[late spruce]

yeah

I cant apply with predicted grades

and anyways i dont have the language certificate yet

you can apply to private unis I think , but their ranking are no good plus reputation of them isnt promising and kinda expensive

with predicted grades

[candid drum]

Public unis are best

[rugged moon]

if i´m learning

the present tense at this moment

I mean in A1 level, how long do you think it would take to reach c1 level in German? (I only have 30 minutes to study per day)

[chrome mulch]

years. 3+ if you are only working for 30 minutes a day.

[rugged moon]

Thks for your answer. May I ask how you know that? Are you also a German language student or you are a native speaker?

[cinder badger]

I start in Germany at the start of August, I want to go a week or two before to backpack and tour, immersion/tourist junk before I have to start my language classes before University starts up.

If I am frugal, how much would it take staying in Hostels and eating cheaply for about 1-2 weeks?

[chrome mulch]

I mean obviously I cannot know with 100% certainty because I don't know you, how much experience you have with language learning in general, and what you do in those 30 minutes.

but C1 is a pretty advanced level, and 30 minutes a day is relatively little study. Like in itself it isn't sooo little, but if you consider all of the areas you're going to have to improve to hit C1 (beyond just drilling grammar, you have to expand vocabulary pretty wide, do a lot of listening, writing, advanced reading, etc) I think that at some point you will have to do more than 30 minutes of immersion/practice.

my opinion as a C-level German speaker myself.

[cinder badger]

I have 2 semester of German here in US, so 1 year, and am at A1...Possible to reach B1 level in 1 year of immersion? I have a 6 week intensive language course in Germany before spending 2 semesters at A German University in German, not English...though they are understanding of the language gap that exists.

[chrome mulch]

to reach B1? Yeah most definitely

I would be surprised if you didn't well exceed b1 🙂

[cinder badger]

That's the goal 😄

Thanks for reply

[burnt vale]

is there a cheap way to travel between Brandenburg and Berlin weekly/almost daily

[silver zodiac]

For people asking about studying , Würzburg University offers studying in English with B2 German only so prob worth checking out, also not too hard to get in as long as youre quick to apply

[silver zodiac]

I mean 9€ ticket exists, pretty sure you could combine it somehow between those two

[granite wolf]

what is the process in germany If I got a job offer and I'm not EU citizen ?

[left fulcrum]

Depends, are you in Germany at the moment?

Has anyone applied to German Universities through "Uni-assist" recently? It's already been 5 weeks and still no word from them

[granite wolf]

I'm not based in germany atm

Where I can find resources for such a case?

[left fulcrum]

Search "I got a job offer and I'm not an EU citizen reddit"

[slender umbra]

How would I get a diploma supplement for a US-attained degree? The university I applied to requires this and I can't find any information to that for US students.

[cinder badger]

Lol ofcourse we do, it's called Transcript. Just get a copy of your Univeristy Teanscript and send that

[burnt vale]

no i mean for next year 😅 isn't the 9 euro ticket only till August?

[silver zodiac]

Oh yeah but I’m sure you can get 365 e/year student deal there

[silver zodiac]

Depends from one country ti another but in most cases you’ll need to make an appointment in German consulate in your country and to bring them a certain letter from your future employer. I can ask what’s the letter / form the employer needs to write called so they can google it and print it out

[short trout]

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a place to live in Aachen and I'll be visiting the city tomorrow, but every apartment that I was supposed to be seeing canceled on me as they already rented it to someone else or something changed :(

Any ideas on how to set up some apartment viewings this short notice? I'm at a loss... fuck
(I speak German in case that's relevant). Any Germans or ex-pats with any input?

[restive aspen]

Try using an agent (Makler) to help you find something . They can be expensive, but if you have the cash and you're in need of something immediately, it could be a good option.

[chrome mulch]

sorry to hear that, apartment search in a city you don't already live in is rough. If you want visits tomorrow, my bet is on very unlikely. But the best chance would be going to ebay kleinanzeigen and replying to as many as you can.

[short trout]

i've been spamming people for the past few days, i've gotten 5 replies, 4 of them were "flat no longer available, sorry" and one of them asked how long i'm staying which is always bad because i'm not staying for long hah

[short trout]

yeah, i might just end up doing this... ugh

Dankeschön

[wild drum]

does anyone here know how many points do students score on average to pass the aufnahmetest for the studienkolleg?

[exotic barn]

Adding onto others responses, I was able to reach B2 after 8 months of immersion starting from zero, so your goal is definitely achievable

It depends on how much you fully immerse yourself, I purposely avoided speaking mutual languages so much as was feasible during my learning process of German

[cinder badger]

Oh then I am solid lol....we have 6 weeks of intensive language classes while staying with a host family, and then this semester coming up its 5 classes at University in German on German and culture. Reading, writing, conversation, film etc.....so I think I eill be B1 no problem

[slate shoal]

Ja, as long as you surround yourself with the language as much as possible, it'd make sense

[sturdy turret]

i cant find universities that teach Medicine

I am an edexcel International A Levels student

I have 1 more year in school (A2) unless there are uni that takes AS

Any suggestions?

[chrome mulch]

you mean german universities? Have you used a search engine?

[sturdy turret]

yeah i searched and i found nothing

[sturdy turret]

yeah ik about that but on the website of the uni itself i cant get an answer that satisfies my question

[chrome mulch]

what is the question?

[sturdy turret]

What are the best universities to study medicine in germany for an internationl student

that is my question

i dont see requirments

requirements

[chrome mulch]

do you want to study in english? Or?

[sturdy turret]

and they say public german unis are free or have 300 per year

[sturdy turret]

german

[chrome mulch]

are you in the EU?

[sturdy turret]

no

[chrome mulch]

https://medizinstudium.io/als-auslaendischer-bewerber-in-deutschland-medizin-studieren-so-gehts/

[sturdy turret]

okay thank youu i'll read it

[chrome mulch]

for example: https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Studium/Vor-dem-Studium/Bewerbung-um-einen-Studienplatz/Bachelor-Staatsexamen-Bewerbung/Internationale-Studierende/~dswt/Bewerbung-erstes-Fachsemester-Internatio/

at rwth aachen they have some info on necessary documents. There you need to do TestAS and score 80% in mathe/naturwissenschaften/Informatik

it is extremely, extremely competitive to study medicine in Germany, even as a german student. I think there's an extra-limited number of places for ausländer.

[sturdy turret]

yeah i know about that good thing i got backups

and thank you once again

i dont even speak german yet

[chrome mulch]

best of luck

[sturdy turret]

there is medicine in rwth?

[sturdy turret]

thanks

[chrome mulch]

yes

[sturdy turret]

okay cant send link

that one?

or is it just an exam for the degree coz it says state exma

[chrome mulch]

Staatsexamen are the things you have to pass to actually become a doctor

[late spruce]

u should take 4 full a levels , from which one is a language

[sturdy turret]

alright which means i need that

[sturdy turret]

oh no language doesnt satisfy me

edexcel or CIE?

[late spruce]

edexcel

[sturdy turret]

[late spruce]

english is hard on a level

[sturdy turret]

hm im really screwed

[late spruce]

arabic is much easier

[sturdy turret]

whats the code

[chrome mulch]

why would you take Arabic if you want to/plan to study in Germany? Or do I just not understand what A levels are?

[late spruce]

its because of the ease

[sturdy turret]

Well in my school they dont offer german language even if im doing it self study coz there is no much request

i would have to go to the british council

[chrome mulch]

ah okay

[sturdy turret]

yeah pain

but i hate languages in general

[late spruce]

where do u live

[sturdy turret]

UAE

whats the arabic subject code

[late spruce]

[sturdy turret]

well i was planning to do English CIE

i can exclude chemistry

it'd be AAAA

[late spruce]

english was hard at o level , what do u expect at a level💀

[sturdy turret]

wasnt that hard in o level

i did cie english

maybe because they were expected grades not actual exam

[late spruce]

idk tbh choose what u like

I took arabic , chem , bio , maths

[sturdy turret]

well do u have another suggestion?

yk i was going for chem bio math phy

[late spruce]

thats too much

u will regret in A2

[sturdy turret]

i did drop phy because it wasnt there

so yeah

[late spruce]

thats good , but now focus on your A levels cuz they matter

[sturdy turret]

mhm they do

[late spruce]

then dont rush yourself into uni , med needs really good german

[sturdy turret]

anyway screw english

[late spruce]

i was really happy ending english at o levels , gl for u in a levels🥸

[sturdy turret]

nah 4 papers for english thats deadly

i hate languages anyway

[late spruce]

that seems so complicated

[sturdy turret]

idk what to take as a back up

[burnt vale]

can't believe the one time I see a fellow alevels student here and they're arrogant

[sturdy turret]

imma take it as a compliment

[late spruce]

Arabic , dont worry its easier

[sturdy turret]

no one way or the other

im taking arabic

i need a 4th subject

i want a 5th

[late spruce]

i finished the exam in 1 hour 30 mins then slept

[sturdy turret]

as a backup

[late spruce]

5 A levels 💀

[sturdy turret]

yeah mate chemistry fucked me bad

[late spruce]

except if u are really good in studying

i dont recommend this

[sturdy turret]

im not

trust me

no well look

my plan is

[late spruce]

then drop , these subjects are of no need

[sturdy turret]

study arabic and german this sumer

and sit for arabic

in oct

along with that

study a 5th subject

till august 18th

[late spruce]

i recommend doing it in jan

[sturdy turret]

if the chemistry turned out to be good

[late spruce]

cuz u need to memorize some movies

[sturdy turret]

...

what

[late spruce]

dont worry , they arent hard

for A2 i mean

[sturdy turret]

oh for A2

[late spruce]

AS u can defo do in october

[sturdy turret]

4 months till october tho

[late spruce]

or u can do both in jan

like i did

[sturdy turret]

jan im doing A2

for bio chem math

U4 U4 P3

then June U5 U6 P4 M1

bio chem math

[late spruce]

u can add arabic in jan

u5 p4 and m1 needs focusing

and btw if u are bad in identeties move p3 to june

dont fall in my mistake💀

[sturdy turret]

wdym exactly

[sturdy turret]

u5 bio seems fun so dw about bio

m1 i like physics

and screw chemistry

[late spruce]

it is because p3 and p4 are so related to eachother , if u dont understand p3 that good p4 might help

do m1 in jan if u like it , but no need to rush too

[late spruce]

u still didnt see pps questions

💀

[sturdy turret]

pps?

[sturdy turret]

yes ik about that

i saw a paper

of

u2 arabic

this looks ugly mate

[late spruce]

it isnt what it looks

I am sure translation would be a piece of cake for u

[sturdy turret]

how do u even memorize a movie

yeah

[late spruce]

search online , memorize main events and writer name , answer what the question wants

[sturdy turret]

i just need to go over everything again coz first look i couldnt do it very well

[sturdy turret]

well how about the other questions that dont involve movies

[late spruce]

I memorized all tragedy movies in the syllabus and did pretty well

[sturdy turret]

[late spruce]

i wont write about history or شعر tbh

[sturdy turret]

Lmao

Is tuition free for students from Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦?

[drifting cape]

There is no tuition for public universities in Germany for students from any country

[polar bear]

Hello i have a doubt... I wanna send 150 euros to a friend will there be any additional charges (Sparkasse) ?
Transactions inside germany dont have any charges isnt it?

[exotic barn]

I am a little confused about something , for german uni requirements , in alevels do we have to take 3 subjects minimum and one of them has to be a language type subject?
some websites say we need to some otherwise , if anyone knows for sure let me know

[solemn bay]

This website has the basic requirements: https://www.daad.de/en/study-and-research-in-germany/plan-your-studies/admission-database/

But a specific uni might have their own requirements so if in doubt, check with the specific uni you want to attend.

It seems that they changed the requirements so that from 2022 onwards, there's a different set of requirements. If that's what you're confused by, then it's point 3. on this page that you should look at: https://www.daad.de/en/study-and-research-in-germany/plan-your-studies/recognition-gce/

[exotic barn]

but why do points 2 and 3 have different requirements

in point 2 its asking for a language subject but it says its not necessary in point 3

[solemn bay]

Because there's an old requirement and new requirement. Point 2 is the old one and point 3 is the new one.

[exotic barn]

but point 2 says 2023/2024 how is that older

[solemn bay]

It goes until 2023/2024.

[exotic barn]

so wouldnt that one apply to me since im gonna apply next year?

[solemn bay]

    An admission option based on the regulations that have been in force since the admission date for the winter semester 2017/2018 only exists up to and including the admission date for the winter semester 2023/24.
    From the date of admission for the summer semester 2024, new regulations will apply. These new regulations can optionally be applied from the date of admission for the summer semester 2022, provided that this results in a more favourable classification for university admission.

So before 2022 you have the old regulation, 2022-2024 both regulations apply (they just pick the one that's better for you), and 2024-onwards only the new one applies.

[exotic barn]

so if they pick by themselves what should i do , i have taken computer science as a subject but should i swap it with some language subject to be safe?

[solemn bay]

No, either one should work.

But if you're unsure, contact someone who is an authority in this area, such as the uni you want to apply to.

[exotic barn]

alright , thnx

[burnt vale]

try paypal

instead

[chrome mulch]

it doesn't cost anything to transfer money anyway, inside of the EU (SEPA- transfer)

[burnt vale]

woah there's such a thing?

[chrome mulch]

you can transfer money from your bank account to another bank account, yes.

[polar bear]

oh so paypal dont take charges?

[polar bear]

But she has Deutsch bank i have sparkasse will there be any problems? like can i send 150 exact ? Cuz she will need 150 exact

[chrome mulch]

uh....I'm not like a bank teller. But I have never had an issue transferring money to people or businesses via bank transfer. If you are unsure: call your bank or visit the local branch

[polar bear]

Today is sunday thats why T_T and maybe you can tell from your experience or smthing?

[polar bear]

Ohh

ill check on that

thanks man

[chrome mulch]

well, if she needs it today, it won't be sent anyway. Not by transfer anyway

[polar bear]

Yeah takes time to reach other end.

[remote lion]

Depends on the bank you're at. The bank your friend's at is not important.

Sparkasse has different plans that charge users differently.

[polar bear]

Jeeez

Okay klar

[torn shoal]

So I spent one year studying computer science in university outside Germany if I wanna apply to uni in Germany to study computer science bachelor will they ask for high gpa or what is minimum gpa should I get so the university accept me ?

[fiery edge]

I think if the course is non-NC they don't care about gpa as long as you fulfil their minimum language and school certification requirements. Depends on the uni. You could get some of your credits transferred but there's no guarantee of that. Also depends on the uni

[drifting cape]

what is a good mobile phone plan for a uni student

[unkempt vector]

check carefully with all the unis you conisder what their specific requirements are since they all differ from one another. Contact the uni fro further questions and ask for credits & gpa questions if you are unsure- it´s better to ask them specifially and make sure ahead since there are usually deadlines for application processes and maybe it´s important to you to know which credits will get transferred and what not etc.

[unkempt vector]

shouldn´t be a problem actually

[civic robin]

Hallooo

Hello. This may come off as a bit weird but I'm just curious. Suppose (by some miracle) you're accepted to a German uni as an international student. Is it possible to live in Germany just by doing part-time work as an international student? (assuming one can pay for university, so exclude university fees in this scenario)

What I'm really asking here is : with the 20-hour/week working time cap for international students, can one study in Germany solely depending on part-time income excluding university fees?

[fiery edge]

Yeah. Depending on the city you'd need between 700 and 1000€ per month, as long as u don't spend unnecessarily. And it's relatively easy to get a 20h/week job that pays over 1k a month

That's at least 13€ / h

[last arrow]

Ah I see. Would one consider this daring or do many people do this (i.e. have no backup money and depend solely on working part-time)?

[fiery edge]

Many people do this but most don't exclusively rely on the one job. Many also do another job, but i think that's just to earn more, or get financial aid from the state (BAföG for example).

It's still possible to live off the one job, especially if u already have some money in your account as backup, which you'll need anyway to get your student visa. (around 10k €). This is what I'm doing rn and it's working out fine

[last arrow]

That's great, thank you for the insight!

[fiery edge]

Np

[shy spoke]

what job do you work?

I plan to do something similar since I only have funds for i year

one year

are you on a scholarship?

can do you have C1+ german (for the job?) Is it possibelt o get a job with lower german skills?

I have an international uni qualification. Which do I choose?

[shy spoke]

egl

egal

[fiery edge]

I'm currently a "Werkstudent" in the engineering field. But you can do any other regular job like working as a cashier or in a warehouse (Amazon, LIDL), and still earn enough.

I'm not on a scholarship; and you can get jobs even at a lower German level but it's easier if you're at least B1 or B2. I'm C1 myself.

[shy spoke]

was ist ein "werkstudent"?

[shy spoke]

so you think that studetns would have to time to earn anough and study full time? Im woudl be studyign CS. I hope its not too taxing such that I have time to work

[unkempt vector]

its a term describing a uni student who is atleast in third semester of uni (has some knowledge/skills) and is working a job related/somehow related to their degree

they get paid a certain wage and you´re able to gain more work experience through it, you can search online for "werkstudenten jobs" in order to find them

[fiery edge]

Yeah it's definitely doable. But it also depends on the uni you'll study at and how demanding the course is there. It'll be more demanding at one of the top universities, so in that case you'd have to work on your time and workload management if you wanna earn some money on the side without it affecting your studies

[unkempt vector]

you need to aplly early for them usually since in certain industries they´re really sought after

[shy spoke]

do you go to a top one?

what are considered the top unis in grmany?

i thought ranking didnt matter in germany

[random eagle]

TU9 unis

[bold stump]

At least that's what the TU9 members claim 😄

[bold stump]

depends on the field and what you study and at which level, but yes, i have never seen a distinction being made at which universities you studied

difference between public/private or university vs applied science yeah

[real shoal]

Hi i want to know something plz is it easy to apply on uni assist?

[tight marsh]

hello

[harsh delta]

Hi

What are the requirements to be able to study in Germany?

[harsh delta]

If I marry a german woman can I get the nationality?

[shy spoke]

CS undergrad. Is uni or TU better for that?

rip didnt apply to any TU9s except TUM

is saarland university good?

[chrome mulch]

you need all the right documents. That's the hardest part.

[chrome mulch]

see uni-assist, daad, or the website of the uni of your choice for details about requirements to study in germany.

[chrome mulch]

there isn't really a huge difference at the undergraduate level between any universities. You'll be fine. Be sure to include thoughts about where you'd actually like to live when choosing 😄

[harsh delta]

And If I marry a german girl will I get the nationality

[exotic barn]

https://www.google.com/search?q=If+I+marry+a+german+girl+will+I+get+the+nationality

[bold stump]

again, TU9 is just an interest group of 9 of the oldest technical universities that claim to be super special. Same with U15 and what not.

Saarland has certainly one of the larger CS faculties and there are some Max Planck Institutes and Leibniz institutes located in Saarbrücken

[vernal dawn]

hey! not entirely sure where to put this but i figured i’d shoot my shot here. do any germans here know if american english teachers are accepted at their schools if they have the proper credentials? if no one knows, it’s totally fine!!

[shy spoke]

that sounds promising 🙂

URGENT

ARE the deadlines in German Time?!!

or your local time?

and is it BY 12am OF the due date, or by 12:59pm ON the due date?

[random eagle]

Me too

I applied at TUM also

[shy spoke]

i didnt apply because i couldnt afford the uni assist fees and it seems they all use uni assist

[late spruce]

guys

does german unis have a preparatory year for med

[chrome mulch]

what deadlines?

if it's German deadlines, you can bet they're on German time....

[glossy lark]

Is it late or there is a chance ?

[glossy lark]

[olive summit]

it streamlines the application process but can still take a while to get your results

[random eagle]

Which course did you apply?

[dusty wave]

yo people

does DHL or Deutsche Post works on vacations

OMG I ACCIDENTALLY PUT 4.0 AS MY GPA

[chrome mulch]

call the international office or admissions office

if you're applying, I would assume you have to show the thing from uni-assist anyway, right? And they transfer your grades into german....

[rugged moon]

Has anyone here applied for an Ausbildung? Is it difficult to get an offer?

I'm studying German just to apply for an Ausbildung

[swift cobalt]

I have the same question

[shy spoke]

why? Is ausbildung that good? What is it, is it like an internship?

[restive aspen]

ist ewig her, dass du hier aktiv warst

[green skiff]

What Ausbildung do you want to do?

[cloud anchor]

If i was in a contact with a person that tested positive later that day and i call my boss to tell him i wanna stay home at least 3-5 days and see if my test is still negative, do i still get paid for that?

[gilded sage]

Hallo Leute,
Can I apply to german taught Master's program with B1 level of German ?

[unkempt vector]

no an Ausbildung usually takes 2-4 years to complete. and is an alternative to going to an university to study for x amount of years. Many young people say they want to start working right away so they usually apply at different companies in order to start an Ausbildung there. Typically you start working in a company right after highschool and learn the basics for the job your doing the "Ausbildung" in. If you do well - after completing the 2-4 years of training -the company will offer you a permament job offer or you apply to work at another company. Then you can start earning the usual income you would get for the job & have more responsibilty. f.eg. there´s a wide variety professions that offer Ausbildungen: Banks, insurancecompanies, car repair shops, hairdressers, supermarkets and some office jobs offer Ausbildungen to young people. Some young people do go to university after completion of the Ausbildung to opt for higher positions later and higher income etc. and sometimes their companies offer to pay for their tuition fees if the stay with that company obviously.

It depends on what you´re looking for in an Ausbildung and what you want to achieve

[unkempt vector]

if you´re a fulltime employee they will continue paying you. If you´re on an internship or something ask right away how the situation will get handled by them to make sure ! Atleast in Germany i think but if someone knows for sure please help

[unkempt vector]

ask the profs, call the secretarys office of your uni- it differs a lot

or write an email

[unkempt vector]

well first question no. Second one the offers are online and you need to look for them not the other way around. Then you apply and they will get back to you. Depends on the company, size of the company, your date of application for the Ausbildung !! Look out for the deadlines- usually you need to apply 1 year to 6 months in advance so remember that and time your applications. Also depends on the number of applicants & the location ( a big city, the capital?)

[teal dew]

Hello, I actually need to know some information with regards to university/college. I want to study in Austria so I plan to apply for a student visa soon so I can go to the country. Is there any recommendations you know with universities/colleges I can apply to? I want to study archeology.

[gilded sage]

Got it, thank you

[peak socket]

Does anyone know any computer science degree which have preparation year that you can learn German before actually starting the study? I found one which is Hof university. Does someone knows more universities like this?

[prime salmon]

Hi guys I'm applying to studienkolleg in winter semester and I need to have health insurance , the option I have in mind is the expat insurance in feather , I was wondering if any of you have had it. Also the lady from FU berlin told me it was hard to go back to public insurance if I have a private one , does this apply to expat insurance as well?

[fiery cedar]

If you pass probation period in a german company, do they obliged to inform you that you passed it or after 6 months passed and they didn't said anything is eligible enough

[fiery edge]

No B2 is usually the minimum requirement

But each uni has their own minimum requirement so you'll have to find out from their website

[real shoal]

Iwhat if we just want to do an ausbildung for 1 year? Is it possible ?

[chrome mulch]

I mean...you can start an Ausbildung and quit. But otherwise not really. It's a program that qualifies you to be an X, and it has a set duration. You don't get to decide yourself when you're ausgebildet

[shy spoke]

the way i cant even read my letter to see if it was a rejection or acceptance xd

ok apparently its like "you will probably be admitted"

[chrome mulch]

they are saying that it depends on your grades, but that usually/this year the NC is pretty generous. Check the link. If your grades are better than the NC from last year, you'll almost definitely get in.

[torn shoal]

Is this required gpa from your first year in your university ?

[unkempt vector]

like @chrome mulch said it already, no that´s not possible, there are set rules on how long a certain Ausbildung takes to complete and you sign a contract with the company too, they assign an employee as the person in charge to teach you and help you get settled there for the duration of your Ausbildung and also other people will teach you smaller details on what to look out for f.eg. while working. So in the best scenerio the company cares about you and wants you to settle well into the team etc. Also it won´t make a good impression if it says on your CV that you didn´t complete the Ausbildung for no reason/no important reason.

[unkempt vector]

okay so usually going back to public health insurances is indeed a litlle hard. You should check online for more information on whether it applies to expat insurance as well or not. You can check with some priavte insurances to get more information or maybe some expats have more insights on this specific topic. Also talk to some public health insurance companies too . I´m sure the opinions might differ on this so try to get many opinions to have a better overview

[neon cairn]

Hi everyone
I'm searching for a language school the offers German language courses for prospective international student, and i really can't find anything that is affordable for me. Any suggestions?

[fiery edge]

Did you have public insurance before? Otherwise no your private insurance during Studienkolleg won't have an effect on your getting public insurance later

Private insurance is usually your only choice during the Studienkolleg. Afaik you can't get insured with a Public insurance anyway. But once you're a uni student you'll be able to switch to Public.

Edit: https://www.studying-in-germany.org/health-insurance-germany-guide/#health-insurance-for-preparatory-course-students

[fiery edge]

One possibility is to do most of the course in your home country, like maybe up to B1 , and do the rest in Germany

[unkempt vector]

as a student your future university should offer some german language classes in general and also specifically catering to international students. Look out for it on their website or call the universities administrations office to get further information regarding this issue. This way you don´t need to pay a lot of money also. Most of the language schools I know are indeed expensive like the ones you spoke of.

Maybe your university is also in proximity to other unis so check for that sometimes those other universities offer courses for all the students in one shared place

[fiery edge]

I'm not sure if they're obliged to mention it, but even if they don't say anything, you'll have effectively passed the probation period as per the work contract

[weak turret]

anyone going to Deggendorf institute of technology?

[cinder badger]

I start in Germany in August, first at a language school for 6 weeks than at University....I want to go early to take advantage of cheaper flights but the Hostels, at least online seem Booked? For the entirety of the month lol....regardless....can someone on a Tourist visa rent a monthly AirBnB or room from someone legally?

Or are there some Hostels that have a rate for longer stays?

[exotic barn]

Does anyone know what the average enrolment deadline is in germany? As in from the time you get the admission letter, you have to enrol within a specific period. Is it many weeks or just a couple?

[chrome mulch]

often quite short

though not always extremely strictly enforced. If you are concerned about missing the deadline, you can call the admissions office or international office and explain the situation, ask which documents are the most important and which can be handed in a bit later, etc etc

[coarse hamlet]

does anyone know what is considered economic activity by the german visa website? I'm curious if non-paid work would count.

[chrome mulch]

what non-paid work? In what sense would it be economic ?

[unkempt vector]

depends on whether there is an NC for your study program or not so you might be able to enrol already. You don´t wanna miss the period for enrolling so check regularly on your unis website

[unkempt vector]

doesn´t sound like to me

like that*

Guys is gmat compulsory for Indian students who wanna do MBA in germany

[faint tundra]

Hey guys i have quick question, so i just got my fsp zeugnis, planning to apply to couple direct unis. I remember i got charged 70 or sth euro to get my Sekundarschules Zeugnis checked (last time i applied to tu clausthal to get acces to stk). Do i still have to pay that for most unis now with me having fsp zeugnis?

[fiery edge]

most business schools in Germany require GMAT

if u look it up there are lists of unis that dont have this prerequisite

[ocean trail]

do i have to pay for erasmus visa, i thought visa for education was free

[cyan hamlet]

Is it optional to do gre or gmat?

[half geode]

any one knows any unis that accept a conditional language certificate (TDN 3 / DSH 1) so i can start learning this semseter and do my tdn 4 or dsh 3 meanwhilee

[burnt vale]

so apparently for my education system there's two ways that my certs can be assessed... but I only fulfil the current one that's only applicable till 2023/2024 and not the new one

will the unis assess mine according to the one that I fulfil or will this situation disadvantage me?

I know I'm being paranoid here but hhh germans are very very specific

[wise obsidian]

Well, as long as you apply before the winter semester 22/23 inclusive it should be fine, right

[burnt vale]

I think so.

[plush lake]

i've never been in Germany.My dad has been living in germany for 2 years. And i am going to start living there in 20 days.Actually i dont know anything about German language. It is not even at A1 Level. I am 16 years old,so i need to register a High School. I don't know German Education System... Can somebody inform me?

because i dont know german,i think i am going to start in Preparatory class

I hope i get used to live there

Hello. I have a question regarding city registration in germany.

I have a job starting from the 1st of august in Germany, and I must find a place to live in the city this job takes place. I found a room for 2 months in this city, but the guy in there said i cannot recieve the wohnungsgeberbestätigung since its only a "zwischenmiete", which means I cannot register in the city with that address. If i decided to rent this place first, will i have problems when i register in my second place? is renting there illegal if i am not already registered? What i could gather from the internet is that if i am going to live somewhere for less than 3 months, it is not necessary to register in the city. However i do not understand if that works for people that are not already registered somewhere else within germany too.

[fiery edge]

I understand that it can be really scary, but it should be alright. You're not alone in this situation. Many have gone through the same experience and it ended up going well, even if it was difficult at the beginning. I've seen people talk about it before. Unfortunately I can't answer your questions but i can point u out to a bunch of threads discussing this: https://www.google.com/search?q=reddit+first+time+Germany+school

[burnt vale]

how do i read this

does the first one mean 1,0 - 1,6 for winter semester

actually im not even sure how to read the nc werte

[cinder badger]

Ignore me lol

[green skiff]

You should call the Rathaus and ask. Since you're going to work there I wouldn't just wait and see

[chrome mulch]

sounds kinda sketchy...I've lived places with Zwischenmiete and was still able to get the proper forms/register the address. Did you make sure that the person renting out the room is doing it legally? // did you talk directly to the person who owns the room?

I would imagine it would be hard coming into Germany, dealing with all of that bureaucracy, without the registered address.

[heady flicker]

On the link you sent there is a list of emails per city to apply

You don't need the exact name, if they don't give it you just adress them with "Dear Sir or Madam, "
