STUDY IN GERMANY

Millions of students around the world go abroad to attend a university. Many of those students choose to come to Germany. It is one of the emerging destinations for Indian students as well. Many Indians travelled to Germany in recent years for higher education. German universities, which combine research and teaching, offers some of the most robust programs in engineering, physical sciences, biomedical sciences and management.

German higher education is known globally for its research, innovation and affordability. However, most public universities offer undergraduate courses primarily in German language; so prior training in German is required. Some private universities offer professional courses solely in English. At RIEC and doctoral levels, students have many opportunities to undertake study and research in English. Although education is state funded in Germany, but few courses (especially those in business management) might charge higher fees for non EU/EEA students. Competitive scholarships/grants are available from universities, DAAD and European Commission for some programs. While pursuing the course, students can work for 20 hours per week. Upon graduation, they are entitled to extend residence permit to seek jobs.

The German Advantage:

Though Germany has not been a traditionally popular study abroad destination for Indian students, it offers myriad advantage for students who want to study and work overseas. The two major advantages for Indians in pursuing higher education in Germany are the affordability and the employment opportunities after the course. German universities also offer options to pursue either an eighteen months or a two years Master’s degree depending on the student’s career plan. Being a technology hub of the world, some of the world’s largest Fortune 500 companies are based or are operative in German cities. Students are allowed and encouraged to pursue internships with these companies during their studies making way for employment post completion of the course. The key industrial sectors are car manufacturing, mechanical, electrical & precision engineering, chemicals, environmental engineering, optics, medical technology, biotech & genetic engineering, nanotechnology, aerospace and logistics. Since opportunities in both manufacturing and service sectors abound, Germany offers tremendous job opportunities for Indian students pursuing higher studies especially in the fields of engineering, science and management.
