One. Language requirements
1, different majors have different language requirements.
In view of the language requirements of German universities for international students, officials of the German Education Center specifically pointed out that different majors have different language requirements for international students, and schools also have different requirements. For example, students majoring in German law must have a good German level, but students majoring in science and engineering such as mathematics do not need to have a particularly high German level.
If you apply for German public universities, engineering colleges and other types of students, your German score should be above 300, and your chances of getting a visa are relatively high, which means studying German for at least 500 hours in China. Students applying for German art schools must also take the TestDaF or TEF exam organized by the embassy, but the scores are not as strict as those of students in public universities. It should be noted that if you want to study in Germany, you need to have a basic level of German before going abroad, which means that most students can only study German for 500 hours, and after the study, they have to take a language test.
2. You need to pass the German proficiency test.
All students wishing to enter the first year of German universities must pass the German Proficiency Test (TestDaF), which aims to test the German proficiency of people whose mother tongue is not German. German proficiency test is a standard proficiency test, and the test questions are designed strictly. According to the test results, candidates' language ability can be positioned according to the six levels set by the European Council, and the test results clearly show which level the candidates' German level is.
At present, the German proficiency test is a computer test. Schedule a test at least once a week. Candidates can choose the test time at any time and know the result after taking the test.
The quality of education in German universities is very good. In addition to self-funded language learning in the first year, public universities in Germany are free of tuition in the second year and can work only by paying living expenses. There is no definite time limit for working in Germany. Basically, you are allowed to work for 65,438+080 half days or 90 full days in a semester. As far as cost is concerned, Germany is particularly suitable for working-class people to study abroad. However, among the China students studying in Germany, a considerable number of them can't meet the requirements. Therefore, students who have no foundation in German should learn German as soon as possible.
Second, the German class recommended
1, ABCDV recommended language class IBZ
ABCDV Forum is the most familiar website for every student who is going to study in Germany. As the only German class recommended by ABCDV, it has been widely publicized in China. The school is located in North Rhine-westfalen, focusing on DSH training. It cooperates with the University of Duisburg-Essen. After entering the school, you can get a student ID card from Duisburg-Essen University, enjoy a semester ticket for students from North Rhine-westfalen, and take various public transportation in North Rhine-westfalen. As far as teaching quality is concerned, the overall quality is medium. If you complete the teacher's course tasks and homework as required, you have a great chance to pass the DSH exam.
Advantages: 1) low tuition (490 euros for 200 class hours);
2) It is easy to register, and you can get a DSH test position (IBZ has corresponding consultation and registration points in China);
3) You can enjoy student treatment, and enjoy student discounts such as traffic canteens.
Disadvantages: 1) There are many domestic students (not suitable for students pursuing German environment, but easy to adapt);
2) Housing shortage (housing shortage caused by too many students in China).
2. Audit Department elevator advertisement F+U
The first time I saw this advertisement was in the elevator of the audit department. F+U Language School is also a widely publicized language school in China. Its specific sites are located in three cities, namely Berlin, Heidelberg and darmstadt. Heidelberg and darmstadt are both university cities, Heidelberg is a famous tourist city, darmstadt is adjacent to Frankfurt, and Berlin is the largest city and capital in Germany, so the consumption level of these three cities is slightly higher than that of the city where IBZ is located. The school offers two training courses, Telford and DSH, which provide more choices besides basic language learning. The school provides student dormitories. Telford training is slightly worse than domestic teaching quality, but it still has advantages in basic language learning, and the teaching staff is relatively strong. Personally recommend F+U in Heidelberg.
Advantages: 1) The school provides student dormitories;
2) Provide various levels of training courses, and you can choose to change them at will (you need to take the exam);
3) The school is rich in resources and the number of China people is medium (convenient for students to quickly adapt to the German environment).
Disadvantages: 1) The tuition is slightly expensive and the living expenses are slightly higher (weekly courses 100 euros, at least 25 weeks);
2) Registration requires at least 100 hours of proof.
3. Low price choice -RP Rhine private school
Rhine private school is a German school mainly distributed in North Rhine-westfalen, with four campuses, namely Dusseldorf, Cologne, Duisburg and Essen. Cologne and Dussel are both big cities, and Dussel is the gourmet capital of Germany. The main characteristics of the school are low price, higher than average teaching quality, and providing various examination courses in Telford, DSH and European standards.
Advantages: 1) Low tuition (389 euros per semester in Essen, 449 euros per semester in other cities, and 200 class hours in 2 months);
2) Provide paid airport pick-up and dormitory (200 euros for airport pick-up and 300 ~ 350 euros for dormitory/month);
3) Optimize the visa process and simplify the procedures (including translating and signing the motivation letter).
Disadvantages: tuition fees will not be refunded if you drop out of school, 100 euro will be deducted if you fail to get a visa, and the rest will be refunded.
