(1).APS certificate. Schools that are not 2 1 1 must, in principle, complete three semesters of undergraduate study before they can apply for APS interview or TestAS examination in the German Embassy.
(2). If you apply for a German course, you need to have a TestDaF 4X4 or above, especially the elite Unis, and liberal arts students generally require18 (2x5+2x4); If you apply for international courses, you generally need IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 80 or other scores equivalent to CEFR c 1 (European Language Reference System). You can also apply for a language class with a Telford score of 2X4+2X3. Language classes should last at least one semester.
(3) The self-protection fund for studying abroad is 8040- 17060 (depending on the city).
(4) Some schools will let you take an Orientierungsverfahren to test whether you are suitable for this major. You may be asked to provide Orientierungsverfahren's grades when applying for a bachelor's degree.
2. It's not easy. Generally speaking, a major change takes one year to study. In addition, the identification of interdisciplinary achievements is very troublesome, and German professors' recognition of China courses is relatively low. However, there is a way to help you skip classes as much as possible, and that is to explain your major in detail in English or German.
3. If you directly apply for undergraduate study for one year, you don't need to take the exam; If you apply for exemption from classes, you must take relevant exams, which will affect your final grade point. The major you choose must be related to the major you have studied, otherwise you will go to the preparatory course.
Generally speaking, the duration of undergraduate education in Germany is 3 to 3.5 years. But generally, the number of people who can graduate on time will not exceed 50%, which is caused by many reasons. The specific cost depends on your city, and the monthly cost is between 450 ~ 1000 euros. Graduation in a few years depends on your hard work and ability. Not cost-effective, first, the cost is very high; Second, it takes a long time. Even if you work hard, you can finish Telford in one semester, and then you will go to the undergraduate course for three to three and a half years. You graduated six months to a year later than others. My suggestion is that you graduate here and then go to Germany to study for a master's degree. If you want to change your major, you'd better change it at home.
5. You can work. German non-EU students have a 90-day/180 half-day working time limit every year. In addition, when you are an assistant, librarian, etc. At school, these are not counted in working hours.
Refer to the first point, besides, your first task now is to maintain a high grade point. Applying for a school should be put on the agenda after you have passed the APS audit.
