However, some majors still have five-year undergraduate and graduate students. Every academic year in Germany is divided into winter semester (starting in June 10) and summer semester (starting in April), and you can apply for both semesters. Germany applies for wide entry and strict exit, but for most China students, as long as they pass German, there is basically no problem. Only pay attention to the following two hard materials: first, school performance: mainly depends on the average score of undergraduate courses: generally 70-75 points; Second, language ability: English-taught courses, generally TOEFL 80 points, IELTS 6-6.5 points; German-taught courses require Telford Grade 4 or above, and a few schools accept Telford Grade 3. Regarding the application time, German comprehensive universities have a unified application deadline: July 15 for winter semester and June 65438+ 10/5 for summer semester. The application methods and requirements of all schools in Germany are basically the same. Specifically, we can see that: China applicants who have passed the college entrance examination have the following opportunities to study in German universities: direct admission: four-year or five-year undergraduate courses in key universities (national 2 1 1 engineering colleges) for at least one semester; The four-year undergraduate program or five-year undergraduate program recognized by the state must be completed for at least three semesters.

All those who meet the academic requirements usually have to pass the examination of the Personnel Audit Department (APS) of the Cultural Office of the German Embassy before they can submit their applications to German universities. Postgraduate applicants applying for German master's degree can only graduate from undergraduate courses, and there is no restriction of 2 1 1 and ordinary universities. Provide qualified Telford (or TOEFL score &; If you major in English, the average undergraduate score is 70-80. German master's applications, like undergraduate courses, are submitted to universities. The application of German doctor is decided directly by the tutor, and there is no need to contact the school. Language requirements, admission and non-admission are all decided by the tutor contacted by the students. German doctoral applications require students to be formally registered in domestic universities, and generally require a bachelor's or master's degree in the same major. Applicants are required to have excellent grades and strong ability of independent work and scientific research. Ask students to choose their own topics and contact their tutors. Everything is up to the tutor. Neither of these rankings has the overall ranking of universities. There are many majors in the car, while Economic Weekly only ranks a few majors. The following scores are based on CHE. There are 45 majors in the ranking of the car, which are mainly scored according to the following five items: overall learning situation: it is the overall impression of students on school teachers. Teacher support: evaluate the teaching attitude of school teachers, including whether it is easy to contact and interact with teachers. Whether teachers are willing to help students and other research orientations: the evaluation is whether the school curriculum is convenient for students to participate in research and whether there are a lot of research content, work and practice; The evaluation is whether the school's curriculum conforms to the reality and whether there are a large number of facilities or resources for students to directly participate in practice or internship teaching. This item is based on peer surveys. It mainly examines the teaching and academic reputation of the school and its influence among peers. German schools (CHE ranks not only German schools, but also some German universities in Austria, Switzerland, Romania and other countries) will go to two comprehensive universities and three applied science schools &; Mdash & mdash * * * 5 institutes &; Mdash& ampmdash Conduct an investigation. In addition to the above five items, some majors (such as dentistry, master's courses, economics, etc. There will be a sixth evaluation item, while some majors will have only four (such as German language and literature, media science, etc.). ) even three (such as history) evaluation projects, their evaluation indicators will be slightly different.

Other information:
Most undergraduate English courses in German universities are taught in German, so it is not easy to pass the DSH or TestDaF German exam.
The general application deadline is 7. 15 for winter semester and 1. 15 for summer semester. Generally speaking, high school graduates from China are not accepted in Germany, either 2 1 1 for one semester or 2 1 1 for three semesters. If you really want to graduate from high school, you have to study for a year.
The rent in Cologne is more expensive. If normal students save some flowers every month, 650-800 euros is definitely enough. Food and drink are actually not expensive, but the rent is very expensive. You can work, but generally speaking, it is difficult to balance work and study, because what you have learned in Germany is really difficult and a lot.
I have lived in Cologne for half a year. There are many foreigners in Cologne, and 99.99% Cologne people or Germans are very kind and friendly. Cologne is a very comfortable and beautiful city. When the weather is fine, it's very comfortable to buy a bottle of beer and sit on the Rhine and drink beer and bask in the sun:)
