Five Golden Reasons for Study in Germany
According to Campus Germany, nearly one tenth of 1.8 million international students choose German as their destination for study. Germany has been a popular place for international students to come and is ranked as one of most-preferred destination by foreign students. Why do international students often choose to come to Germany? In my opinion, there are 5 most noticeable reasons to prefer Germany to others.
- Uniquely old-aged education with an emphasis on modernization:
Germany’s education is well-known for a strong traditional education emphasizing on socialization, debate, vocal participation in class and critical faculties and it is also known as the most student-centered education with a broad base of selective subjects. To response to the trend of internationalization in education, Germany has showed her steady seat among the world’s highest level of education with many famous universities. The combination of study and research is the most eyeful nature of German education.
- Diversity in subjects with a flexible option of languages of instruction:
With a strong commitment to socio-development and individualism, German universities offer a wide board of subjects to satisfy human’s thirst of education from A to Z. All courses are designed with a basis of empirical researches and they are open to any who desire for educational combination of theory and practice. Moreover, although most of courses are taught in German which is an interesting-to-learn language and is used in 38 countries around the world but there are many courses availably instructed in English, French, Latin, Italia, and Spanish as a way that German universities wish to join hands with their peers in other countries to contribute to the global education development.
- The bottom tuition fee for the top education quality:
Unfortunately, the time of studying in German universities for free has been passing, but we only are required to pay a very modest tuition fee between 300 Euro and 500 Euro per semester. It is really needless to say something more since it is obviously cool for international students in the comparison with tuition fees in other countries. At this low cost, students with financial limit have chance to reach the internationally-recognized education.
- A various resource of scholarships:
As to financial aid, Germany is famed as one of the countries having biggest amount of scholarships given out annually. Through DAAD, Nassel, and other public or pirate organizations, thousands of scholarships are offered to the needy around the world with a wide range of costs, durations and requirements. Besides, part-time jobs are also available for foreign students to support their studies in Germany.
- Tasting German people and culture:
Located in the heart of Europe, Germany is thought of the capital of culture with many historic places worthy of visiting as well as German people are well-known for their heartiness, politeness, generosity and friendliness. All of these create a unique chance we can not let it bypass.
I do not mean that all above mentioned reasons are the perfect or typical reasons when selecting our ideal place for study but I am sure to get your consent that German is one of the most-preferred destinations for overseas study due to her true power in educational realm and charming cultural attraction along with the friendliness of her people.
