Do a lot of students want to earn a degree and then work in Munich?
Most international students around 90% want to earn a degree in Munich. Half of them want to stay in Munich for more job opportunities to advance their careers. The other half would like to go back to their home-country mainly because of family reasons.
Munich is known for its high standard universities, job opportunities, diverse environment and beautiful architecture. It is one of the best places for international students to finish their degrees and maybe continue working there.
Which are the general documents required by German universities?
The documents which are generally needed by German universities that offer undergraduate programs are: certified high-school diploma, translated transcript of your grades, copy of your passport and your passport photo, motivational letter or CV (or both), proof of language proficiency (German or English) and application fee. To be able to apply for a postgraduate degree in Munich you need to finish or have a: certificate of your undergraduate studies, transcript of your grades, IELTS/TOEFL exam scores or TestDAF for German, standardized admission test, proof of financial resources, motivational letter and references.
Can you write to the university in case you do not get accepted?
One way to handle rejection and learn from it is to write the university and maybe ask them to reconsider. This tactic barely works but it is worth the shot, when asking them to reconsider make sure to tell them why. If it doesn’t work, we suggest you talk to your school counselor and look through your application maybe there is room for improvement!
What are the tuition fees like in Munich?
Most international students are happy with the level of their academic studies and the tuition fees even though Munich is one of the most expensive cities in Germany. On a more international level it is considered fairly cheap and around 15,000 international students were enrolled in universities in Munich.
Although Munich is one of the best cities for international students, competing for a place can be tough due to the high demand and competitiveness. Always remember that will hard-work and persistence you can secure a spot!
Should you do research on a Blocked Account?
After checking the courses and universities and after taking the German language exam and completing the other requirements, you need a visa to be able to study there and have enough money to put it in a Blocked Account to proceed. The amount of money you need is pretty high around 10k but that is why you prepare way before applying. If you are an international students coming from a low-income country, then checking the prices before going to Munich is important. Munich is a big city and the bigger the city the more expensive it is.
Should you apply to other universities in case one doesn’t accept you?
Make sure you apply to different universities in case you get rejected. Even if you get rejected by all, take it as a lesson to better yourself and prepare yourself next time. Rejection is tough but it is a great life lesson and experience in the long run!
