In recent days there is a new shift in student’s preference in choosing the study destination. The shift is sliding towards Europe. In Europe its Germany is leading in terms of becoming a study destination for the past 5+ years. There are a few questions when it comes to Germany like why do students choose Germany for further studies? Is there anything special? Do they get admissions and placements so easily? Let us discuss about them in detail.
I have few of my close kith and kin in Germany as students, students converted PR, people in work permit and employees deputed from India to Germany in work permit. So, I have enough data to explain why is Germany so popular with many students and it can be yours too very soon.
Germany has been a student friendly for decades. It has public and private universities. We can discuss about all the different types of colleges in Germany in a new blog.
1. Little / No Tuition fees:
One of the most attractive reason to choose Germany is its cost of tuition. If you have a decent percentage and have a good track record you may land in public universities where the cost is nil or as less as 400 € per year and yes you have seen it right its 400 €, which is nothing when compared to other countries. So, your major hustle is taken care of.
2. Scholarship:
When you have very less tuition fees, then why scholarship. Not all students get admitted in public universities with nil fees. So, to help the rest of the students there are other scholarships like DAAD Scholarship, Erasmus scholarship, Heinrich Boll Foundation Scholarship, Freidrich Ebert stiftung scholarship etc. Apart from these the German government grants living expense to deserving students.
3. Great Research Opportunities:
When you look for a destination which is popular for research, then without a second thought Germany should be your choice. Major field of research are Humanities and social science, life sciences, natural science and engineering. Its not only about the option. Its also about the support that you get in terms of finance, guidance, mentorship and assistance.
4. Low Cost of living:
Cost of a living is mostly around 600 to 800 € which includes rent, food, transport, health benefits, internet, phone bill, study material and even other leisure activities. Major German cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt falls under the bottom 100 of the world’ s most expensive cities.
5. Wide options in English:
Keeping in mind the international students, most of the universities offer international courses in English. So, you have wide options to choose from. Knowing the German language might be an added advantage in terms of mingling with people , building network and easy to get a job or internship.
6. Work while you study:
Most of the countries offer this, but what is so special about Germany is the options involved in the way we work. We can either work 90 full working days or 180 half working days. Another good benefit in Germany is a student’s minimum wage is 10 € an hour.
7. Job Opportunities:
Post study international students are provided with 18 months stay back option to look for an opportunity. Germany is a hub for major industries like Automotive, Machinery, Aviation, Medical, Energy, Environment, Electronics, ICT etc. Not to stop with these options, all the supporting career options are also open. Companies like Benz, BMW, Siemens, Bosch, Adidas are all open for you.
8. Enjoy Europe:
Last but the best point is you are allowed to access the whole Europe. Its not only about just your education, but its about internship, career and also to explore those countries. You are open to learn all those cultures, heritage, language etc. Apart from all these as a HR I would say you have ample options to build a wide network which is one third of the world’s population.

Shankha Global Consultants will help you find the right university to apply to, along with advice on how best to fill in your application forms.
