  1. GERMAN EDUCATION SYSTEM & TYPES OF UNIVERSITIES Time and again, Germany has proven to be among the top when it comes to quality of education & living. Europe has always been on everyone’s bucket list when it comes to travel as well as when it comes to bigger life decisions like higher education or migration. Do you dream of a successful life abroad? The easiest way to achieve that dream is by pursuing an education from a foreign university. Additionally, Germany has the ICE (InterCity Express), a high-speed train service that runs through the country allowing you to visit all the beautiful cities in Germany that you’d like, conveniently and swiftly. If that’s not enough, the ICE has an international schedule as well with connections to Denmark, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands. Education Structure in Germany 1. Primary and Secondary Levels If we look at the German education system, it has 13 years (10+3) of primary and secondary school. It is now possible for students with high academic achievement at the Realschule to switch to a Gymnasium on graduation.

  2. Berufsschule are upper secondary vocational schools that prepare students for careers in a variety of fields including agriculture, food science, beauty therapy, business administration, printing technology, laboratory technology, textile, woodworking trades, metal trades, etc. Fachoberschule are upper secondary technical schools that prepare students for technical careers. Just like the Berufsschule, Fachoberschule schools also have tailored courses to help students gather academic knowledge as well as the application of that knowledge in the real world. 2. Higher Education This is followed by a bachelor’s degree comprising of 6 or 7 semesters. Post which students can pursue higher levels like masters and PHDs. Indian students have four options before applying for a bachelor’s course in Germany: 1.Complete 1 year of a relevant bachelor’s program in India post 12th grade 2.Complete the 1-year preparatory course in Germany called Studienkolleg 3.Clear JEE advanced examination in India 4.Apply at universities that accept the Indian Diploma certificate (10+3) Once you have decided that Germany is the place for you, there is another important question to answer – which university is best suited for you? The higher education system in Germany is very uniquely divided into three types of universities, each catering to a different set of careers. Let’s take a closer look at each. 1. Universities & Technical University (TU) or Technische Hochschule (TH) Let’s begin with the classic universities. These universities cover a range of subjects like social sciences, literature, humanities, mathematics and many more. These courses are academic in nature and impart theoretical knowledge to the students. Additionally, being a country excelling in innovation and technology, there are many prestigious Technical Universities that are known for their technical courses in engineering, technology and IT. They enjoy an outstanding reputation around the world as renowned research and teaching institutions. 2. Universities of Applied Sciences or Hoschschule These institutions focus on the practical side of the subject apart from the theory. While theoretical knowledge is imparted just like at the classic universities, these universities go one step ahead and give students a glimpse of how they are applied in the real world.

  3. 3. Colleges of Art, Film and Music This is for all you creative geniuses. As the name suggests, every field that is in the arts, is covered under these universities. You will find programmers in music, film making, choreography, cinematography, photography, VFX, graphic design, copywriters, fashion design, drama, the list is endless. Once you have decided what you want to study and which university is aligned best with your career path, it’s pretty smooth sailing from there. The admission process is efficient, the student visa process is uncomplicated and before you know it, your European dream will be unfolding before you!
