Is AUSMAT (Australian Matriculation) recognized in Germany?

[grand lava]

Is AUSMAT recognized in Germany for university bachelor degree admission? According to my research there isn't much information about this in the internet. Some websites say that its accepted ,some websites say that not all university accept ausmat results.

I know that this is a bit out of the topic
but I need to decide whether to take AUSMAT or A level after my IGCSE
I'm currently planning to go university in Germany/Australia/Singapore.

[mighty juniper]

a levels are accepted everywhere, good luck

[civic nebula]

You should probably take A-levels

unless you're fluent in german, don't see the point in going to germany

[umbral berry]

you can go to the college's website and check for what they accept

[bright otter]

the point is that uni is for free if u speak german i dont mean free u pay nothing but like less than 500 euros or only pay for your living costs

[bright otter]

tbh depends if u go to australia better do ausmat and if ur still not sure then do a lvls cuz its accepted everywhere

[grand lava]

Yep I think I'll do A level cuz I wanna go overseas for uni but I can't really deal with the school fees

70% chance I'll go Germany

[grand lava]

Well I'm 16 this year, I still have about 3 years to uni so there's enough time for me to learn

[bright otter]

16 is really young u can do a lvl and study the language

actually to learn german depends on ur pace it will take around a year or a year and a half

[unreal dagger]

yes its accepted

i assume you're malaysian?

i think there was like an event here for AUSMAT peeps looking to go to germany

so it is definitely possible they do recognise it, but im not too sure of the details

i think after iGCSE you should go around and enquire if AUSMAT or A levels is the best choice before going to germany

[grand lava]

Yep

[grand lava]

Really I never know that?!

[civic nebula]

if you're going to bother learning a new language for uni

why don't you just go to switzerland instead

Much higher ranked Universities, you can choose between french or german or italian, and the cost is about the same

[mighty juniper]

switzerland is expensive lol

[civic nebula]

universities are very cheap in switz

500-1500 CHF Per Semester depending on where you go

[mighty juniper]

talking about the cost of living

[civic nebula]

If you're international student or from far away you get access to dorms which are heavily discounted

• THe minimum wage is the highest on anywhere on the planet, working part time is more than enough

[grand lava]

Ok I'll check about it

Thanks for telling

How about the scholarship there?is it easy to apply for international students?

What I care the most is scholarship cuz I don't think my parents will give me a lot of financial support in uni

[mighty juniper]

that offsets the prices lol

[mighty juniper]

source?

even if they're heavily discounted they're most likely still expensive

[civic nebula]

I literally live here lmao

[civic nebula]

I'm not sure about scholarships if it's easy to get, but the tuition fees is very cheap to begin with, your cost of living per year will likely be many times the tuition fees

Student halls of residence are between 450-800 per month

CHF

to put into perspective if you work the 20 hours part time allowed per week for international students you'll be making 1600 CHF per month at a bare minimum

So if you work the part time allowed, then by the time you graduate your debt won't be more than a couple thousand unless you make stupid financial choices like 10 bucks on starbucks coffee everyday

Salaries in switzerland are really high

average graduate salary is 82k

you'll pay off any excess money you need to take out within first few months if you choose to work in switzerland which won'tbe too difficult if you study there

[grand lava]

Omg this is almost higher than those full time job in Malaysia cuz 1 ringgit Malaysia equals to almost 5chf

[civic nebula]

however if you go on to get master degree which you should cause they're offered in english you'll make a lot more

[grand lava]

Hmm what language do they use in lectures

[civic nebula]

Depends which part of switzerland

and what you study

[grand lava]

So there's English course in uni ?

[civic nebula]

Depending on your major, first year is French/German/Italian depending on where you are and then after that you are offered and then you can take English lectures paired with lectures from another lang

[civic nebula]

Bachelor degree, you'll need to know another language

For masters, english by it self is enough

[grand lava]

Ok thanks for the information

[civic nebula]

np

[grand lava]

Well I guess now I can add Switzerland to my uni list,seems that it's okay for me

[civic nebula]

Ironically the best french and german uni aren't in france or germany but switzerland that's why I recommend it

but if I were you I'd choose english path

[grand lava]

Yep I hope I could do that too but the tuition fees are too high

[civic nebula]

Learning a language is very hard to reach Universtiy study level

[civic nebula]

netherlands

[grand lava]

Agree

[civic nebula]

I feel like if you just grind really hard and get really good a level grades then get offered scholarships that will be easier than learning another language to university level

[grand lava]

Yess yesss my ultimate goal is to go England for uni

But I don't feel really confident for a level

[civic nebula]

you could just go swden and netherlands if prices are too high

Learning a language to university level is like taking 2.3 a levels time wise

[grand lava]

Hmm quite relatable,I spend a lot of time to learn German this month,then I have no time for English

I took fle and it's so hard

[civic nebula]

good luck

[mighty juniper]

yea provide a source to back your claim lol

[civic nebula]

"Many Swiss universities have housing offices that provide discounted rooms to international students in university dormitories. The type of student dormitories depends on the city your university is located in and can range from 500 CHF to 800 CHF per month."

https://www.educations.com/study-guides/europe/study-in-switzerland/student-accommodation-4249#:~:text=Many Swiss universities have housing,to 800 CHF per month.

[mighty juniper]

👍

This type of accommodation is typically limited in number, so make sure you apply as early as possible.

knew there was a catch

[civic nebula]

well yeah obviously, did you expect it to be unlimited?

[mighty juniper]

no you said it like it was guaranteed lol

[unreal dagger]

it was an event in our college

there are pathways to germany and not all of them need A levels

for germany and switzerland you will need to know german though most likely

i would recommend adding singapore to your list but you must do A levels for that, or you can do a diploma there and then do degree

[grand lava]

Yep thanks for telling

[frank axle]

Gave +1 Rep to KG#5923 (286)

[grand lava]

I think I can confirm that I'll do A level now

[grand lava]

Hmm for all the college in my country they tell us to do A level

[unreal dagger]

you'll have a break after doing igcse for about a month or two

that is when you can finalise and then do the registration for A levels

[unreal dagger]

hm

generally for europe A level is the best

although it is hard

ausmat is usually for australia/nz

cimp is for canada, though is accepted in some Aus unis

A levels is accepted everywhere without any issues

that's why ppl recommend it

[grand lava]

Ok ya agree
