Study
in Germany
Possessing a storybook landscape
of rolling hills, placid lakes
generously speckling its regions,
and a coastline studded with
stunning beaches, Germany is
a land of outstanding beauty
and splendor. Visit Germany's
wine country and feast your
eyes and your taste buds on
the region's numerous small
visitor-friendly vineyards.
Indulge in any of Germany's
over 300 spas and health resorts
and pamper yourself in a relaxing
holistic approach to stress
reduction. Savor an authentic
German lunch of sausage (Wurst),
potato salad and Germany's world-famous
apple strudel while unwinding
in a modest Gasthof or café.
Experience Germany's diverse
cultural and social scenes in
one of the many theatre and
opera houses, all-night discos,
and Berlin's numerous nightclub
venues. Lastly, to achieve the
ultimate Germanic experience
remember to greet the Germans
with Guten Tag, or Auf Wiedersehen
before departing, in this magnificent
country filled with beauty and
excitement!
Technical
Universities
Originally, and as the name
implies, the technical universities
restricted their teaching to
technical and engineering disciplines.
However, during the course of
time, they have developed into
more comprehensive higher education
institutions. Hence, students
can now also study arts and
humanities degree courses at
the technical universities.
Nevertheless, the focus of their
activities continues to be directed
towards engineering and science.
Fachhochschule
Institutions
Students are increasingly deciding
to study at Germany?s Fachhochschule
institutions, particularly because
the studies are shorter and
have a more practical focus
than is the case in university
studies with a greater research
focus. The term Fachhochschule
is often translated as university
of applied sciences to reflect
this higher educational and
practical nature.More information
about this type of higher education
institution can be found in
the section "Type of university"
on the respective Fachhochschulen
pages. The academic year runs
from October to July and is
on the semester system. The
German curriculum emphasizes
independent study. Students
are expected to do independent
reading, prepare oral reports
and papers and attend lectures
and small group discussions.
Student must complete a certain
amount of coursework to sit
for the interim exams. German
institutions grade on a scale
of 1-5; 1 is the highest while
5 is failing. The academic record
consists of the student's collection
of Scheine, or certificates
of completion for each course.
