Things you Need to Know About Higher Education in Germany
The
universities for higher education, universities of applied sciences and the
college of art and music are spread across the country. Most of these
universities are located near to industries and various research centres thus offering
an opportunity for students to find employment and stay in the same city upon
graduation. The universities offer over 350 English-taught courses available across
multifarious domains to study in Germany. Students don’t just acquire theoretical
knowledge in institutions but also get to implement them in day to day life. A
lot of higher educational institutions relieve international students from
paying tuition fees.
Studies at
Universities are generally oriented towards specific subject area. Universities
offer doctoral degree unlike the Universities of Applied Sciences. Practical, trainings
and project-work aligned with the academic course are usually imparted by the
Universities of Applied Sciences which may span one or more semesters.
The
application and admission in Universities differ largely from each other and
are set by respective universities. So, do check the deadlines well before.
