LANGUAGE!!! I have been doing my bachelors here in psychology, and the biggest set back is the language. Even though i studied for 3 years the language and did a telc c1 Prüfung, it still didnt prepare me for the academic texts and lectures. It would be one of my biggest recommendations for international students to focus on. I knew about the option to do Studienkolleg year only after i got enrolled, which is very good for international students to get to know the system here and the university, plus only b1 level is needed to apply for it.

The more I've learned about places like Germany, Norway, Denmark and so on the more I see some areas in particular holding these very beliefs I always have and because of them have struggled to get on in the states very well despite being born and raised here. I am autistic so a lot of the appeal to me as a teen were the "culture shock" differences you've mentioned. I need to move. I can't stand the states and americans social culture. I never felt like i was home here and I'm finally ready to commit to finding my home by moving around some. Thanks for this video, it was also validating in a lot of differences I've struggles with recently with many friends.

Hello! I just really want to ask a question and hope that you'll reply and it is isn't the medicine more tough in German language for one who has done the entrie curriculum in English.

I heard that you only need IELTS to study masters in Germany no need to study german language so my question is , is the final exam in german or English? And is the classes also in german

Based on your input on Germans, I am German by the same logic. I don't like chit-chats or small talk; could be direct in saying things

Yet the universities don’t rank high, the research done is low and yet the USA uk and China are leading science and technology. This only shows how the system is failing

One thing that I don’t think you mentioned (if I missed it somewhere I’m sorry) is that if you fail a compulsory subject three times you:
1. Will be exmatriculated from the university
2. Won’t be able to enrol in the same degree - or one that uses the subject you failed - anywhere in Germany.
This is, in my opinion at least, one of the stupidest rules I’ve ever seen when it comes to education. Especially so since I’ve had more than one professor make their exam absurdly hard (ie 30% pass rate) and then make the retake even harder “since there’s so much time to study”.

@DePisceEpiscopi

Applied sciences vs technical uni, what is better if you're not very independent as a student?
During my undergrad exams were not important, they were only a part of the course, assignments were given more weightage.

@Amith-l3x
@

In Russia it is very similar - you are almost completely on your own, and the exam is the only thing that is important. Of course it depends on the university, but in general it is like this

@МарияТаран-с8щ

guess this is why people from Asian cultures think that Germany is very cold and rude. Seems its how difference cultures communicate in general.

Hey what about the system in a hochchule like I got like a 3.1 score on the abitur in tunisia and got accepted in a mechanical engeneering degree in Achen so yeah I'm really worried about the difficulty of the German education system

@MindsOnFire1899
@

German language is the reason why many foreigners fail. I've been dealing with this language for 12 years now with the goal of studying in Germany or Austria. What I'm able to read and understand now has brought me closer to my goal. Many people dedicate a couple of years to this language, than claim they've mastered it and genuinly believe they can handle university courses.

@OlgaGorchynska

Hello Markus. Please excuse me if this is inappropriate to ask but...

I am planning for MiM in TUM in 2025. So I wanted to know about the job market post this program and should I be worried about the political and economic scenario in Germany and the EU ??

Thank you !!
