Second, the conditions for applying for studying in Germany

Language problem is a difficult problem for most international students studying in Germany. In addition to international courses and individual majors, universities generally require applicants to study German for more than 800 hours. At present, there are two international authoritative German exams: TestDaF and DSH. This kind of exam requires you to apply to a German university first. After all parties agree to go to Germany, language is very important for China students who want to study in Germany.
2. Telford exam
This kind of examination is held in China and many big cities every year. Generally speaking, if you are admitted to TND4, you can directly apply for most majors in German universities. Because the Telford exam is aimed at international students from all over the world who want to go to Germany, it is more difficult than DSH, but it is relatively more economical (you don't have to go to Germany for a year's language class).
3. Conditions for studying in Germany: economic security

During studying in Germany, you can withdraw a certain amount from your bank account every month as living expenses. Generally speaking, before entering a German university, we must study the language in a German language school for at least one year. On the one hand, it can better improve their language ability, on the other hand, it can also help students adapt to the life of German universities and prepare for entering universities next year.
Third, the application materials for studying in Germany

3. The mistakes that should be paid attention to when studying in Germany
1, you must learn German to go to Germany.
Students studying in Germany are mainly divided into the following categories: high school, high school graduates, college students and college graduates. Most universities in Germany teach in German, but at each of these four stages, there are English-taught universities for students to choose from.
It should be noted that there are many German business schools, English majors and business majors that teach English when students are studying for a master's degree. Therefore, the study of German is not so overwhelming and unacceptable. If you apply for English teaching, it is beneficial for students to learn German as a living language as long as they have time and no pressure.
Don't consider studying abroad until you get 16 in the Telford exam.
There is a confusing APS in Germany to study abroad, and even students are afraid. First of all, we must face APS studying in Germany.
In fact, APS is not that terrible. Study abroad consultants will plan different study abroad plans according to students' own conditions. If you really compete with yourself, it's really too late to start other study abroad procedures after you get 16.
If you really want to wait for the Telford exam before preparing to study abroad, then maybe studying abroad will be a few years after graduation. Generally speaking, students are advised to study German excessively in language classes and adapt to it for a period of time before entering German majors. Therefore, there is absolutely no need for students to wait until the Telford scores come out before going through the formalities of studying abroad. Foreign language learning should run through the whole process of studying abroad, even if they enter the major later.
Studying in Germany is not good for graduation.
Students who study abroad in the early days have to study in Germany for a long time just to learn the language, and then they can enter the major and start studying. It is very normal to study German 1 2 years, while German undergraduate and graduate students need at least 5 or even 6 years to complete their studies, which makes many students and parents feel that it is not so easy to graduate from Germany.
According to the new academic system, the academic system of German graduate students is mostly 2 years or 1.5 years. The government gives children with relatively weak learning ability another two years to complete credits. Of course, if students are strong enough, they can also complete the established credits in advance, enter the thesis defense link in advance, and get the diploma. So parents and students don't have to worry about Germany's failure to graduate.
It is difficult to apply for studying in Germany.
In recent years, especially since the year before last, more and more students want to study in Germany, and the growth trend is also rising by leaps and bounds.
Under the premise that German universities do not expand enrollment and the number of international students is limited, it is naturally more difficult to apply for German study abroad places than before. APS, foreign language requirements, GPA, etc. They are all sloppy. No matter how fierce the competition is, as long as you keep a constant initial learning intention, under the guidance of our major, it will definitely not be a tragedy of not applying for admission. All our teachers will try their best to help every student who has a dream of studying abroad achieve this goal.
5. German universities are not famous.
There is no problem in the international recognition, gold content and certification of German institutions. It's just that the cities where some schools are located feel unknown because they are unknown and unheard of.
In fact, higher education in Germany is equal, and no school is necessarily better than other schools, each with its own strengths. Relatively speaking, if a person's learning ability is only average in China, it is not recommended to blindly pursue the so-called "prestigious schools", because German education pays more attention to students' practical ability and practical application ability, so German manufacturing can be world-famous. There is no need to blindly follow suit when studying in Germany. An excellent institution is to choose a school that suits you best, learn knowledge well and master skills to return to China!
6. Generally, you can't apply for a good school with a background.
Germany attaches great importance to students' background and learning ability, which leads to some individual schools, such as Karlsruhe University of Technology in TU9 school, basically maintaining the stable grades of students from non-2 1 1 colleges, with average grades. However, as long as students are particularly good at their majors and have strong comprehensive ability, they don't have to worry about being unable to compete for popular schools in related majors because of their university background. There are no special restrictions on domestic students studying in Germany. As long as students are willing to work hard, their grades are acceptable, and they really want to study, and they have successfully passed APS in Germany, they will go to Germany to study in institutions recommended by their consultants. When you really go to Germany and start studying in colleges and universities, you will find that your school is a very good university in Germany.
