2. 5 REASONS TO STUDY IN GERMANY
Germany is one of the most welcoming and
pleasant countries to live in. It's no surprise
that students from all over the world are
clamoring to get a place at a German
institution. Let's find out why.
3. 1. YOU WILL LIVE IN ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL AND WELL-GOVERNED
COUNTRIES ON EARTH
Okay, okay, this is perhaps not the most attractive reason to move
to a particular place, and the German government is not without
its critics. But living in such an efficient and organized place has
positive things that are not always easy to see or understand.
They have an excellent recycling program, clean streets,
reasonable expenses, low crime, and are leaders in climate and
energy policy. At least a third of Germany is currently powered by
renewable energy.
The labor market is also very strong and wages are relatively
high. If you can speak German or have an EU passport, jobs can
often be easy to find, especially if you plan to stay in Germany for
a while.
If not, don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities for students to
find short-term work while in the country. Check out college job
centers and college newsletters to get started.
4. 2. HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AND CULTURALLY
DIVERSE
Once again, she's not the most attractive, right? "Historically significant".
That's one of those great phrases because it means different things to
different people. The story is what you make of it and so on. But that's
what's so great about Germany. So much has happened there. There
really is something there for everyone.
Germany is sometimes known as the "land of poets and thinkers", or das
land de dichter und denker . Goethe, Hesse, Nietzsche, Marx, Hegel,
Beethoven, Bach, and the Brothers Grimm were all German. And those
are just the first that come to mind. A place that produces so many great
minds must have some hidden secret, right?
It also has more cultural hotspots than any other country. With 6,200
museums, 820 theaters, 130 professional orchestras, 8,800 libraries,
and countless places of historical importance, there is much to absorb
and learn here.
Also, football is amazing. And fashion. And music. And the food... And
the highways. You see? There is something for everyone.
5. 3. GREAT PLACE FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS
English is commonly spoken, and is frequently taught in German
primary and secondary schools. It is estimated that about 56% of
the population have English as their language. Which is quite
useful if you are interested in learning English. And let's face it,
that should be everyone.
Germany has an excellent educational record. Every German city
you can think of has at least one university ranked among the
best in the world. There are 15 German universities in the top 250
in the world and 31 in the top 500. This establishes that Germany
is among the world's higher education elite. Wherever you choose
to study, you will find a first class institution.
It should also be noted that the undergraduate courses are free,
even for international students. Tuition fees are also quite low if
you are interested in a master's degree, or a short course.
6. 4. YOU WILL DEVELOP AS A PERSON
Germans have a reputation for being quick,
efficient and calculating. They are also
known to have a very strong and contagious
work ethic that will make you better as a
person and will help not only in the
workplace but also in your personal life. You
will gain these habits over time, simply by
being in Germany.
7. 5. IT'S GREAT! HAVEN'T YOU HEARD
HOW GREAT GERMANY IS?
Berlin is the fashion capital of Europe, teeming with
artists, musicians, students, backpackers, expats, and
other trailblazers of all shapes and sizes. Leipzig has
seen similar growth recently, with a thriving creative
scene, plenty of green spaces, and a high quality of life.
And coffees, don't forget. Lots and lots of cafes.
Since the early 1990s, Germany has had something of a
cultural explosion, with young people, and students in
particular, at the forefront. Fashion businesses, street art
and a new wave of fashion and design have made
Germany one of the most popular places in Europe.
And if you ever worry that you're not trendy enough to live
there, just remember that these people are some of the
most loved and respected in all the land:
