German undergraduate study abroad application conditions and popular majors
German higher education also has a long history. Many students want to study here because international students have the advantage of free tuition. So what are the requirements for students to apply for undergraduate courses in Germany? Take a look at my answer.

First, the conditions for applying for undergraduate study in Germany

1, education requirements

Domestic applicants need to complete six years of primary school and six years of secondary school before they are eligible to apply. To ensure a complete study experience, they can have a better learning foundation, which requires an official certificate of completion.

Students' GPA will also be assessed, and the requirements for scores are stricter. Get at least 3.0 points. Some majors will have additional requirements for individual courses. Everyone needs to prepare scores and must understand the requirements of the school.

2. Language requirements

Although the popularity of English in higher education is relatively high, German is still the main teaching language in undergraduate education. Applicants need to meet the basic requirements for admission to ensure their qualifications, and they also need proof of the courses they have studied.

Because it is not the second foreign language needed for learning, many students learn from scratch. You must have at least three months of complete course study, and you must also participate in the training and examination of TestDaf, and it is best to get a score of Grade 4 or above.

3, material requirements

In addition to hardware requirements, software assistance also needs attention. Generally, at least resume and recommendation letter should be prepared for the application. It is not difficult to write, because the basic model has a routine, and you can fill in the content according to the template.

What is more difficult for everyone is the documents that need to be written. You can prepare the Chinese version first, then ask professionals to translate it locally, and then get familiar with the content. This is actually a feasible method, suitable for students with poor foundation.

4. Other requirements

There is little age limit for students. Generally, only applicants over the age of 30 will have certain insurance restrictions, and it will be relatively difficult to apply for a visa, so don't wait until you are older to apply for going abroad.

Sufficient funds should also be prepared, especially after the margin requirement rises. Everyone needs to deposit enough cash in the bank account in advance, and then find time to go to the bank to open a certificate before applying to ensure that their materials meet the requirements.

Second, the types of German schools

1. Comprehensive University

Germany has a 1 10 comprehensive university with a long history, many disciplines and complete majors, with special emphasis on systematic study of theoretical knowledge required by this major, and equal emphasis on teaching and scientific research.

Universities of science and technology, normal universities, ordinary universities, sports universities and administrative and national defense universities are all included. Its graduates usually have strong independent work and scientific research ability.

2. University of Applied Sciences FH

There are 208 such universities in Germany. Compared with comprehensive universities, they have a shorter establishment time and a smaller scale, and their majors generally pay attention to characteristics. In principle, they do not offer liberal arts majors in the traditional sense.

The course has strong application, combined with practical work, compact teaching arrangement and short academic system. FH in Germany is different from that in China. There are differences between them in admission conditions, courses and contents, and academic qualifications obtained at graduation. The undergraduate course of FH in Germany is generally three years, and the master's degree is generally two years. Its diploma is completely equivalent to the domestic undergraduate/master's diploma.

3. Arts University and Conservatory of Music

There are 55 art schools in Germany, including drama schools and film schools.

Art universities generally implement small classes or individual teaching to cultivate and develop students' personality and artistic talent.

To apply for this kind of university, you need to submit a portfolio and take an aptitude test. Individual schools will also require students to create and submit corresponding works according to the requirements of the school as selection materials for whether they can take the aptitude test.

Third, the analysis of applied moral quality examination

In the past two years, studying in Germany has been recognized by many parents and students for its high academic qualifications and low tuition fees, and the age of students studying in Germany has also tended to be younger. At present, it is much easier for undergraduates to study than for master students. Many parents will choose to study in Germany for their children from the beginning of undergraduate course, so that they can master advanced technology and lay a solid foundation for future employment.

German German exam is a good way to study undergraduate in Germany. German examination is simpler than aps examination, and it is held twice a year in China. German aptitude test is used to examine whether students have the necessary cognitive ability to study in Germany. It is divided into four types of questions: liberal arts, science and engineering, engineering and business, and the focus of each type of examination is different. The moral quality test is a written test, which consists of three parts: language test, core test and professional thinking ability test. The exam can be conducted in German or English.

Up to now, there are more students studying engineering in Germany. Take engineering test questions as an example: students are usually tested in physics and mathematics, but all the test questions need to be answered in English, so the overall difficulty of the test questions is low. As long as students can understand the test questions, it is easier to answer them. At present, students who can answer more than two scores in the college entrance examination are more suitable for taking the German physical fitness test.

Moral education examination is a fairly fair examination. From the report card, we can see the level of students in all aspects, and we can also see the level of students in the whole batch of postgraduate students, which is a reference for later students to apply for schools.

Fourth, the advantages of studying in Germany

Architectural specialty

German architecture is one of the model buildings in the world. World-class architectural design institutions, such as BRT, ARCHITECS and GMP, attract architectural professionals from German universities every year. At home, the rising real estate industry also urgently needs construction professionals.

material engineering

Modern technology provides countless available materials: metals, such as iron and non-ferrous metals, semiconductors; Non-metallic inorganic materials, such as ceramic materials, glass, inorganic adhesives and organic materials, such as plastics and rubber. And more and more important composite materials.

The study of materials science is based on the interest in mathematics, natural science and technology. Material engineering education is to introduce the relationship between raw materials, production/manufacturing technology, material structure/characteristics and their applications. Nuremberg University, Berlin University of Technology and Dresden University of Technology are all famous for their material engineering.

mechanical engineering

Germany is a world automobile power, with top automobile brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi and Porsche. The turnover of automobile industry ranks first in Germany's industrial turnover and is a pillar industry in Germany. Because there are many internship opportunities, students majoring in mechanical engineering can often enter enterprises and get valuable exercise opportunities. German universities basically offer mechanical engineering-related majors, especially those in TU9 University of Technology Alliance, such as technical university of munich, Aachen University of Technology and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, which have become the first choice for domestic engineering students to study abroad.

German universities are divided into two categories, one is applied science and technology university, and the other is comprehensive university. It is suggested that students applying for the University of Applied Science and Technology should pay special attention to internship and practical experience. Most FH requires students to have at least 10 weeks of internship. Students who apply for comprehensive universities pay more attention to school performance and scientific research experience.
