I'm grateful for your video. I finally settled my mind on Germany. I wish it to be a beautiful experience!
Appreciate that! 🫶
Same with me🫶🏻
Don’t get happy so quickly. German unis are not starting tuition for non-EEA students. 4k to 8k per semester
@@maxyoko Could you expand a bit on what you mean by “free”? I’ve been looking into it (as someone with interest in studying a second career in germany) and, so far, it seems that stuying for free requires you to already have a decent level of German - among other things.
I’d be very grateful if you could recommend an institution or maybe even someone with whom I could talk to in order to ask questions regarding my particular situation - as I said, this would be a second career, so I have issues finding information online on what steps I would need to take. - Questions like, do I still need to provide my High School papers?
Well you will regret it very soon
Some additions by a fellow German:
*Attendance:*
Depending on your university and your major, attendance may be mandatory. In my programme, people had to retake a course because they missed three lectures - missing twice was the acceptable limit. In our case, this information wasn't disclosed beforehand. It's important to (proactively!) make sure you know the rules and to follow them, even if this means pestering EVERY one of your professors. There's no room for error.
*Group Projects:*
Yes, you may (most likely) need to work on group projects. If you're lucky and one person isn't doing their job, your professor will allow you to remove this person from your group. If not, they'll let you suffer through it "to learn to work with different individuals" (who would be fired in reality, but teachers and professors don't care much about this).
*Football Riots:* (not referring to American Football here)
What he's talking about is true. It happens. I advise anyone to stay away from crowds of people wearing bright tricots, scarves, hats, etc. - whether it's in an open space or on public transport. Don't engage with them, keep your distance, change direction, don't get on the bus/train/tram... simply get away as fast as possible. If you're unlucky, you've come across drunk, loud, aggressive, agitated football fans.
*Choosing a University:*
If you are considering staying in Germany, be aware that no one cares which university you graduated from (apart from some arrogant pricks, probably in business). Graduating from a "high-ranking" university doesn't mean much since it doesn't say much about you anyway. Choosing a university is based on your preferred degree, the courses offered, the location and costs, your values and priorities, the opportunity to "make connections", or available partner universities (if you want to spend some time abroad).
*Internships* (Beforehand/During Your Studies):
Additionally, you should keep in mind that for many degrees, you need to do an internship beforehand or during the course of your studies (during breaks), and getting an internship in Germany as a foreigner not being able to speak German might be quite difficult (and most internships are not paid either). Make sure to inform yourself about the specific requirements beforehand so that your internship gets accredited/acknowledged.
*Drinking Culture* - You Don't Need It for Finding Friends:
Depending on your social circle, drinking beer or other alcoholic beverages is not something you do regularly with your friends. From the people I mostly interacted with, most didn't drink alcohol at all - not even for religious reasons. So if that is not something you're interested in, don't worry. There might be weird looks and stupid questions, but be reminded that everyone not taking part in Germany's drinking culture gets those reactions - not only foreigners.
Love it! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks bro, can we talk more?

Hello everyone. Just a little extra info: the time in between semesters are holidays for most students. In this time you are allowed to work full-time. Some people are not able to work as much while studying and use the time in between semesters.
yes that's correct, you can work the 40 hours instead of the regular 20!
It depends on your subject. If you study physics f.e. you can't expect to have long holidays between semesters.
Lovely video! I'm a foreigner studying in Germany and I agree with everything you said!

Hey man, appreciate you making this video. Have friends going to school in Germany, as well as a friend in the staff of a uni there, and being an American who did my undergrad at an American public uni, I was baffled when I learned about how cheap going to school in Germany could be. Even more absurd though was hearing them talk about housing prices in Germany, and them referring to €800 for a decent 1bd apartment as being “expensive”. Having been in the military for some years now and transitioning out, I’ve been looking at going back for a grad degree and our post-military government funding program covers many schools in Europe, so that has got me thinking hard about it. Seeing this video also confirmed for me a lot about cost of living and general considerations, but I also appreciate you explaining the difference between the hochschules and the unis, as that distinction isn’t really present in the US to such a degree as it is in Austria and Germany. Thanks again!
Glad you liked it! Really appreciate your nice comment and thanks for sharing your story.

Thanks soo much for type of Universities. A practical orientated type is exactly what I'm looking for. Love being in the field rather than being cramped in a book.

Hi Max, I guees you really help the "blue eyed" !
You’re knowledge of German is a big advantage. Non-German speakers might have less options for courses they can take, as was the experience of a friend of mine. But the cost is really the biggest advantage.
yes there is definitely some truth to that
I’ve been able to make friends with cool people who I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to communicate with if I hadn’t learned German.
Amazing information to have. I'm also looking for Masters in computer science for summer intake. Thanks
Best of luck! 🤝
Thank you. very good video
Thanks a lot, appreciate it!
Good stuff ×5
🤝🤝
Very helpful video max ! Btw just wanted to know, do we get enough time to pursue interests and passion outside of university life?? I wanted to push for becoming a football player , can i get enough time and opportunities??
Thanks! It really depends on the degree program, some are more demanding than others for sure. But if you wanna become a pro player, there's probably not gonna be enough time for other studies
I didn't want to watch at first because I've already decided to go to Germany buh thank God i watched, it was so useful i hope you educate us more on how we international students can adapt to German culture 🎉
You're welcome ❤️
This video is SO helpful and to-the-point!!! I'm from the US and am thinking about applying for a Master's in Germany (maybe Uni Bonn?)...but everything I'm reading/watching is making the exams sound really intimidating as someone isn't the best test-taker and who isn't used to the weight being so heavy for exams. Do you know how the exams compare with ones in the U.S.? I'm worried about getting kicked out of the university! 😅
I don't know anything about the exams in the US cuz I've never been there but what I can say is that the workload at German unis is quite huge
Of course it always depends on the degree program but in general you need to study a lot to get good grades
@@maxyoko Thank you for the insight!
Interesting. I'm from Germany, and I know many people who preferred doing the work ONCE instead of having several presentations, oral marks, etc. in addition to regular (final) exams. I understand the pressure and intimidation of having "only one chance", though. I don't have any idea about exams in the US (I just know that some pupils doing exchange years in the US found them easier - granted they went to the US in high school, not in university), but I wanted to give you some general information about exams at German universities regardless:
*Type:* Written exam, oral exam, presentation, paper, group assignment, business plan, ...
Written Exams - Most likely no multiple-choice questions. Instead, you´ll have to answer questions in continuous text.
*Duration:* Anything from 45 minutes to two hours.
*Contents:* Practically everything you've learned in this semester (and possibly input from prior semesters too). Professors usually don't like or simply don't do students the favour of narrowing down topics. You either manage to learn everything or guess which topics might be important and focus on those (mind that some professors create several exam papers so there's no knowing which topics will be covered by the exam YOU take).
*Frequency and spacing:* Usually there's one exam, presentation, paper or whatever due at the end of a semester (per course). Sometimes there are several ones per course. The exams can be spread out and take place during breaks, or can be compromised in one or two weeks in addition to regular classes, while breaks are intended for internships.
*Structure:* German pupils and students are trained to not only reproduce what they've learned but also to solve problems (practical and transfer questions). The ratio of these portions varies depending on the professor. Depending on your major you may need to label or draw illustrations as well.
*Grading:* Grading depends on your major (Law is quite complicated, but for international students it´s an unusual choice anyway). It's typically done in 0.3 steps: 1.0 (best), 1.3, 1.7, 2.0, 2.3.... 4.0 often being the passing mark. I don't know what's the worst mark though. Marks are determined by the number of points or correct percentage achieved. There's no grading curve like in the US (at least, none that I know of).
*Retaking:* Usually you can retake exams once without any problem or additional paperwork. Retaking an exam a second time often requires submitting an official request for repetition. Some universities grant even more tries. I believe the most common version involves attempting the exam three times in total: one initial try and two retakes. If you fail after all available tries, you'll get expelled and won´t be allowed to study this particular course/degree anymore (at least at a German university, that is).
*Language (in general):* Most degrees in Germany are mostly (or solely) offered in German. Here I want to emphasise the ugly reality of being a foreigner undertaking courses in Germany: Even if foreigners attend lessons (you need to prove your language abilities and meet other criteria beforehand), professors at universities (and even at "friendlier", smaller universities of applied sciences) won't go easy on you and switch to English during lessons. Other students may dread to work with someone not being able to communicate with them properly as well. Also, it's harder to make friends without solid German skills.
Honestly, if you're planning on spending a semester - or your entire studies - in a different country, it's best to learn about the culture and language. Out of respect and for easier interactions.
I don't know if any of this was helpful to you, but well... I tried. ^^
@@juliab3326 Wow, thank you for all the helpful information! This was very good to know. Yes, I was looking into an English-taught program. Good to know about the re-taking rules for tests :)
great video, love your channel
i had a question tho, if i have a full time course in a university, can i still do part time job to be able to afford my monthly expenses?
It usually depends on the degree program and how busy you are but it's definitely possible
good luck in life nice video by the way
Thanks, appreciate it 🫶
Thanks from Uzbekistan=)
Greetings back! 🫶
This should be sent out to future students in Germany!
We both revolutionizing the education landscape in Germany ;)
@@maxyoko let's gooooooo
Here I am😊
Could you please make a video just talking about the differences between regular universities and universities of applied sciences please ? I know you spoke a little about that in this video but I feel that not a lot of people talk about that and it’s hard to find information. Also, does universities of applied sciences grading form is only one final exam at the end of the semester or do you get multiple exams or projects during the semester on them? Thank you 🙏🏼
Very easy. FH means less theroretical. 😊No Dr. grades.
University/Universität: More "theoretical", often bigger with more partnering universities abroad, classes with hundreds of people, professors don´t know their students´ names, students have to deal with everything on their own
University of Applied Sciences/Hochschule/Fachhochschule: More "practical" with more mandatory internships during breaks or as a separate practical semester (which is why degrees from those universities are often one semester longer), smaller universities, smaller classes, and even smaller working groups, professors know their students by name and face, more "supportive", but often less connections to universities abroad
Both types of universities can have either one exam per course at the end of a semester, or several ones throughout the semester. Also, it doesn´t have to be a written exam in the traditional sense. It can be an oral exam, presentation, business plan, research protocol, anything basically.
Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences often offer different degrees - Universities of Applied Sciences often focusing on "less common" degrees and health or engineering.
The costs (Semesterbeitrag) doesn´t depend on the type of university, but rather the university and the location itself. The costs almost always cover public transport tickets as well. With some you might travel through the entire region (-> more expensive), others can only be used within the specific city or specific public transport such as buses but no trains (-> cheaper). The costs are between 50 and 400€ per semester (= six months). Private universities are much more expensive, obviously - and in contrary to other countries - not "the best choice". Choosing a public school or university is the most common option in Germany.
Generally the eastern and northern parts of Germany may be cheaper in general (rent etc.), but have less universities, infrastructure and job opportunities.
hello, your video is very informative and i got to know honest student prospective but I have a doubt, if you can help me in getting info like I am doing my 3 yr (bcom H) bachelor and I am from very confused about which country to choose from Germany, Ireland or Denmark. Which country would be best for mim or finance courses??
i love this vid.
i love this comment
Next year I will go to Germany for master studies and this content is useful for me. It might be difficult for more foreigners to live in such a country, but it's better for me. I live in one of the countries where it is very difficult to live as a citizen. As a person who sees a more difficult lifestyle, I will be comfortable living in Germany.

Hallo Max! I read somewhere that to do Freelance in a specific field, you would need a university degree to do so. Do you know if that's true? I plan to move to Germany to study Computer Science as well, but for side income, I wanted to do freelance web development as I'm currently doing that full time. I think this condition is specific to the Student Visa.
I'm doing freelancing on the side and don't have a uni degree (yet). In Germany, I believe everyone can create a business and as long as you don't scam people, everything is alright :)
@@maxyoko This gives me hope lol. Thank you!
This is hard to say. In Germany, having an official degree matters more than being self-taught (which is quite common - and acceptable - in the US or Ireland). I know programmers/software engineers who couldn't get a job at first because they had no official proof of having the necessary skills. Smaller companies and start-ups are more open to employ freelancers without a degree, but it may be much harder to cooperate with big, traditional companies based in Germany. If you consider working with these companies or want to attract "respectable" clients, having an accredited degree or certificate may come in handy, or it may even be required. I'd say, try it; just do your research and be determined to prove to people that you're capable, even without attending university.
On another note, be aware that German taxes and bureaucracy for self-employed people are a complicated mess.
Good luck
There are some professions as lawyer, tax consultant, doctor,… that are a special kind of freelancer legally.

Hello, nice video. I have one question: Does the fee cost stay the same if you are following the course in English language , or is the reduced charge structure just available to students who are studying the course in German language?
The "Semesterbeitrag" will be the same amount for all the courses a university offers.
from my experience i strongly suggest learning at least basic German if attending any form of higher Education, while they try to accomodate for english speakers its not always a given especially on smaller campuses
100% agree!
Hi there! I'm from New Zealand & I would love to study computer science next year in Germany, but the only bachelor's degrees I can find are exclusively taught in German. I would love to learn German, and want to live there permanently, but I would like to start studying as soon as possible. Do you know of any computer science university courses taught in English? Or would you have any recommendations on what might be the best way I go about this? Thanks so much for your help!
The Technische Universität Hamburg (TUHH) has at least a bilingual Computer Science Degree. But I don't know how many of the modules are taught in English.

Hello, I have a question, if anyone knows, about credit points (LP) in uni courses. How many LPs does a normal student make in a semester at uni? I am studying Industrial Engineering in Latin America and I want to know about the LP system in Germany. Thank
Depending on the Uni some use ECTS and some LP (Leistungspunkte) dont know why they do it differently... but the Bachelor usually lasts 6-7 Semesters with 180 ECTS in total
Per semester it is usually 30 LP or ECTS (LP is German, ECTS is a EU standardised system)
Do you know any university in germany that offers bsc in marine engineering or naval architecture in English language because i haven't seen any???

I want to masters in cybersecurity in Gemany. Can you please tell me is it possible for me to do part time job to manage my expenses? As I think cyber is a difficult fielf and workload also huge I think so So i am afraid what if i am not able to do part time job. As right now i am doing bscs and also doing part time job as a ui ux designer .
So, i would like to get into medical in SGU, Münich, for a bachelors. But my one question is,

This video has provided all the contents I need to know.. But where could I get the complete guidance to apply. Can yuh suggest me any agencies as I'm an Indian student ??
Glad to hear that! I'm gonna make a video about how to apply to a German university soon. Unfortunately, I don't know any agencies here :(
You give a very good overview about the main aspects of studying here.
I want to clarify that there can be additional costs for Non-EU citizens which can make studying here more expensive than shown.
1. Often you have to pay an additional fee for the university (as a non-EU citizen) e.g. Uni Mannheim 1,500€ per Semester.
2. You have to pay a lot of taxes if you earn more than 520€ per month(for everyone). Above that you have to pay also pay for insurance. So nearly no one gets over 520€ per month with a student job.
Thanks for providing this info!
You can actually earn up to ca. 10000€ per year tax-free if I'm not mistaken
@@maxyokoyes you're right. Even though if you pay taxes you can get it back after your "Einkommenssteuererklärung" or sth like that
When you applied to uni did you apply as a foreigner or German national? I have both a UK and German passport currently, and I'm not sure if it is better to apply as an international student or German.
I applied as a German national. I believe it's a bit easier and smoother because there are no additional admission requirements
@@maxyoko ah ok, makes sense, thanks a lot 👍
what freelancing work do u do on the side>?
Videography and webdesign ^^
Brother Can you Give me some quick info about free lancing Jobs in Germany or websites where I can get to know the rules regarding it. Is it permitted? As you know Germany is extremely strict with their rules so I wanna know how a student can engage in free lancing, the legal Requirements etc
I think freelancing as an international student is not allowed, unfortunately
It is difficult for me to pay for blocked account because of the stronger currency compared to my country's currency
5:11 Hii i want to student masters in data science so can name some university's which is applied science university's
university of applied sciences in Munich is not bad I guess :)
I’ll try to get applied to residency in Germany 😊
Nice, wish you the best!
How do we get a part time job knowing little or no Germany while we are studying? Is it possible or is it difficult? And what kind of jobs can we work while studying ?
It's possible but quite difficult tbh
You can work in retail, freelancing, university jobs, tutoring, etc.
I made a video on what jobs I work :)
