Ludwig maximilian universitaet muenchen
The University of Munich, the full name of Ludwig maximilian University in Munich, was founded in 1472, which is one of the German universities with the longest history and the strongest cultural atmosphere. /kloc-at the beginning of the 9th century, in order to commemorate the founder of the school, Archduke H. Ludwig and later maximilian I, the school was renamed Ludovico Maximilianes, and later the Latin name was changed to Ludwig-Maximilians Universitaet in German. Since the establishment of 1472, this school has developed into the second largest university in Germany after the Free University of Berlin.
The teaching unit of the university is now divided into 18 college, which is further divided into 178 institutes and clinics for medical practice. The colleges with high grades in Munich University mainly include the School of Enterprise Economics, the School of Medicine, the School of Law, the School of Sociology, the School of Physics and Chemistry, the College of Forestry and the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Then let's look at the requirements for studying in Germany.
1. Education requirements
/kloc-graduated from high school in 0/2 years and passed the formal college entrance examination.
China Key University has a four-year undergraduate program (including bachelor's degree, the same below). After one semester, you can apply for fachgebunden.
China universities have four years of undergraduate studies, and after three semesters, they can enter directly without major;
Four-year undergraduate students in China universities must pass the fesstellungsprüfung held by German university preparatory course and obtain the Hochschulzugangsberechtigung before they can apply for admission, but their major direction cannot be changed.
China three-year junior college (ie "junior college") can apply for direct admission after two years; After studying for one year, you must pass the "University Entrance Examination" held at the German University Foundation before you can apply for admission. College students are only allowed to apply for "Universities of Applied Sciences" and are not allowed to change majors.
Those who graduated from high school in 10 or10 and entered a recognized institution of higher learning in China for three years may apply for direct admission; Students who have completed two years of study must pass the "College Entrance Qualification Examination" held by the German University Foundation to obtain admission qualifications and apply for admission without changing their professional direction.
When applying, you must submit a true and effective certificate of academic qualifications. High school graduates who are not admitted to universities are not eligible to apply for German universities (including pre-university courses), and their applications will be rejected. The domestic two-year junior college education does not meet the requirements of applying for German universities.
The qualifications of China Radio and TV University are usually not recognized by German universities. Only by obtaining a "bachelor's degree certificate" can you apply for an institution of higher learning in Germany with the qualification of "equivalent academic ability". If China University graduates choose the same major as the original major in German universities, the school will reduce the academic year according to the situation.
In order to attract foreign students, many universities in Germany have made some improvements in the syllabus and curriculum, and some majors have offered international courses taught in English or in both English and German. Besides, there are new ways to get a degree. Now you can study a Diplom directly in the traditional way, or you can study some newly-established bachelor's degrees in colleges and universities in the reformed way, and then study a Magister's degree. After obtaining a "master's" degree, you can continue to study for a "doctor's" degree.
A university study visa usually indicates that it is valid to go to a university in a certain city. There must be a convincing reason for changing cities, which is decided by the local aliens management office.
2. Language requirements
When applying for German teaching, you should provide a certificate of at least 800 class hours or a certificate from Telford, DSH and Goethe Institute. IELTS 6.5 is required to apply for English teaching, and some majors require works. Some English-taught programs may require a certain tuition fee.
Finally, let's look at the application process.
1
Language proof
Although German universities have slightly different specific requirements for admission applications, two requirements are the same:
First of all, you must prove that you have studied German for 800 hours. If you want to reach the level of B2, you can directly apply for language classes in universities. Or issue German language certificates, such as DSH and Telford certificates, and you can directly apply for university professional study.
Second, the original APS certificate of domestic education must be issued by the German audit department. Without the original APS certificate, you can't apply for a German university in principle. This requires about one year's study preparation time before studying abroad. Boyade University has relevant German training courses, which you can customize privately according to your own time and conditions.

American Physical Society (American Physical Society)
Materials that APS must submit:
1, high school diploma: Chinese and German are integrated, which can save some expenses when notarized;
2. Admission certificate of the college entrance examination: the archives department of the school originally admitted the archives, and the teacher of the archives department will stamp it for you (indicate your name, hometown, college entrance examination results, whether it has passed, and the nature of household registration). Take this paper to draft a certificate of the Sino-German college entrance examination, stamp it at the student office and stamp it at the principal's office;
3. Proof of class hours: China and Germany are integrated without notarization;
4. University score certificate: go to the Academic Affairs Office to print the university score, stamp it, and then translate it;
5. University study certificate: Chinese and German translation, stamped by the Student Affairs Office and stamped by the President's Office.
After all these are completed, bring the originals, photocopies and translations of various documents, with the number of copies = number of notaries +2 (one for the notary office and one for backup): ID card, passport, household registration book and audit application form. After all the materials have been translated and notarized, they will be submitted to the German audit department by mail or in person for an appointment interview. Remittance of RMB 2,500 will be used as the visa fee for examination and approval (after examination and approval, the applicant must submit a visa application through the examination and approval department).
three
Take a language test
You can choose to take the German proficiency test in Germany or China. Although German universities require 800 hours of German study certificate to apply for universities, many universities in Germany have different requirements for German certificate level of different majors, so many students in China can successfully apply for professional study in German universities only by studying 600 hours. In order to save time and money, I suggest you take a German exam in China. The most convenient exam to take in China is TestDaF, which is the Telford exam. There are test sites in eight cities in China, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao, Wuhan, Nanjing, Xi, Guangzhou and Chongqing. It is held three times a year on the first Saturday of April, July and 1 1 month (in which all test sites are closed in July due to the number of candidates).
four
Apply for study places in universities.
German universities are divided into winter semester and summer semester. The application date for the winter semester is June 15, and the application date for the summer semester is June 65438+ 10/5. Some universities have earlier application dates, so the time for mailing application materials should be advanced accordingly to ensure admission. The appropriate time should be: February-May in winter and 9-65438 in summer.
Application materials: application letter (in English or German), resume, completed application form, original APS certificate, copy of bachelor's degree certificate and official certificate (if graduated), university achievement certificate (official certificate), university attendance certificate (not graduated), official certificate of high school graduation certificate, official certificate of college entrance examination, German certificate (DSH or TestDaF certificate), school time certificate (if there is no German), internship certificate. Some universities require that international replies be attached to mailing materials.
five
Open a self-insurance account to apply for a visa
After the application materials are sent, it will take about 2 months according to the different time for each school to process the materials. At the latest by the end of August, I will receive a letter of acceptance (Zulassung) from a German university, and then I will open an account with the letter of acceptance and passport at Deutsche Bank, and go through the remittance formalities of the self-insurance fund at China Bank, with the amount of 7020 euros a year. To get the remittance certificate and apply for a visa in the German audit department, you need to apply for medical insurance in Germany. The visa processing time is 4-6 weeks.
