说德语的人在艺术和科学方面都已经成为了世界上最伟大创造中不可分割的一部分，因此不管是在德国，还是在德国之外的地方，几乎每个学科都有一个很长并且也很出色的成功故事。还有一个事实能够进一步加强这个观点，那就是从2014年开始，德国取消了所有的学费，不管是对德国本国学生还是国际留学生都一视同仁。德国大学为每一位学生提供免费的并且国际认可的学位。德国是什么，德国就是你理想的留学目的地。

对于许多来自世界其他地方的学生不明白为什么其他国家不能像德国这样，这一点也不会感到奇怪了。但是，免除学费只是在德国留学的诸多好处的其中之一。

1、顶尖的高等教育工作人员和基础设施

德国的高等教育由三种不同类型的机构组成：

-大学

-应用科技大学

-技术、艺术、电影和音乐学院

德国大多数的公立大学的历史可以追溯到中世纪，有一个在各种学科中禁止定性教育和显赫人名的重要传统。其他大学也在第二次世界大战后或最近不久成立，包括大部分的德国私立大学。

德国的大学凭借其卓越的基础设施和课程而闻名。最好的设施提供当代最先进的技术，以及多元化的专业人员，这样对课程的启发性很有帮助，能够确保培养出未来一代有前途的专家，不管哪个学科都是如此。创新、国际合作以及以实践为导向的学习被认为是成为世界一流教育的革命道路。

2、国际认可的学位

所有的德国大学现在都进行了波罗尼亚改革，这是为了确保所有的学生能够获得统一的并且国际承认的学位，例如学士学位、硕士学位或博士学位。

-文学士/理学士，相当于为期6个学期的学习

-文科硕士/理科硕士，相当于为期2-4个学期的学习，具体时间长度取决于你的课程

-博士学位，相当于为期4-6个学期的学习，具体时间长度取决于你的课程

这些课程时间长度适用于大多数的学术专业，除了医学、法律和药学等专业。在这些专业中，学生仍然受传统的教育方式，在学习结束会有全国统一的考试，并且课程比普通学士学位课程要多几个学期。

3、德国的公立大学不收取学费

德国高等教育的经费主要由国家资助，因此就像字面上体现的意思那样，德国大学对德国本国学生和国际留学生都是一视同仁的，均不收取学费。德国高等教育系统由大约400所大学组成，分为公立免学费的大学，在整个德国有超过240万名学生在这种类型的大学就读，此外还有少量的的私立大学，注册学生人数少于德国总学生人数的5%。

在过去的十年里，德国在政治上一直努力斗争在全国范围内免除学费，但是德国作为分散的联邦制国家，很难使所有的16个州同意。在2014年10月，德国所有的州达成了共识，德国所有的公立大学为其所有接受高等教育的学生提供免费的学费政策，不论学生的国籍是哪里。

4、绝佳的工作机会

抛开德国免收学费的政策，其实在德国留学并不是完全的免费，因为你仍然需要自己负担生活费用。所以，许多国际学生都想要找一份工作，能够在德国留学期间养活自己。对于在德国留学的欧盟学生来说，找一份工作很容易，并且没有任何限制。但是对于想要在德国留学期间工作的非欧盟国家的学生来说，他们必须申请工作许可证，而且他们的工作时间不得多于每年190个全天或者240个半天。

来自欧盟、欧洲经济区或瑞士以外国家的学生，不允许进行自由职业或个体经营。但是，这很少成为问题，因为德国是非常发达的国家，德国的经济足以支持每天数千个新工作岗位，能够为大多数的国际学生提供找到一份体面工作的机会。

值得一提的是，以实践为导向的德国大学与很多大公司有协议，能够为学生提供实习机会。这些工作可能并不是都能得到报酬的，但是在你获得学位之后，可能会提供给你一份未来的好工作。

5、学习英语授课的课程

在德国留学不仅仅是为了免收学费的政策，如果你的德语语言能力不是很好的话，你还可以参加英语授课的课程。英语是一种国际的并且被广泛使用的语言，在世界各地的大多数学校中，英语都是被当做第二语言教学。当你刚刚开始在一个新的国家的留学生活时，新的大学和新的语言会比你想象的更难适应，因此你可能会想要让自己更快更容易适应，那么你可以先参加英语授课的国际课程，之后再转换到德语授课的课程。

6、探索德国生活各个方面的机会

在德国的学生生活靠你的肾上腺素(这能够让你心跳加速、精力充沛、行动迅速)和好奇心。德国人很友好，同时也会给你隐私，相互尊重和遵守秩序就是日常生活和工作的一部分。德国多样的文化值得你去探索这个国家的每一寸，这能让你感觉到你是在这个整体中的一部分，而不是一个完全的陌生人。

户外活动在德国很流行，包括各种运动、徒步旅行、骑自行车、滑雪和更多其他的活动，所以如果你认为自己是运动型的，那么这就非常适合你了。大多数的国际留学生都会选择住在大城市，他们会发现很多的活动都可以用来消耗他们的课余时间，逛酒吧、夜总会、剧院和电影院都是德国学生生活的一部分。德国大多数城市都有艺术家的气息，有生动的地下音乐，到处都是时髦的时装、书籍，以及极具启发性和有趣的想法。

如果你厌倦了疯狂，你会发现德国人更多的时候是比较私人的，他们喜欢关起门来的小型聚会，在更亲密氛围中享受他们的食物和饮料。一旦你有机会进入到当地人的朋友圈，你将会了解到德国真正的生活。

德国人都想尽办法做到绿色环保。公园和绿地是每个社区的一部分，是保持你冷静头脑的空间。你可以看看德国超现实的风景，伟大的建筑，以及厚重的历史。

在德国的生活的另一个真正优势在于非常棒的公共交通，德国的公共交通是真正的高效、安全、快捷。在德国留学的额外福利就是，你在支付学校注册和管理税之后，会获得一张免费的交通卡，而你用这张卡搭乘德国公共交通所需的费用更是你想不到的低。

7、完成学业后留在德国

最后，当你在德国完成学业后，你会在毕业后有机会继续留在这里找工作。法律允许国际毕业生再多待18个月的时间，用来找工作，如果你想要的话，你最终可能会在德国待上更长的时间。

The German-speaking population has been an inseparable part of the worlds greatest creations in both arts and sciences; thus almost every academic discipline has a long and outstanding tradition of success stories, in Germany and beyond. Add this to that the fact that as of October this yearGermany abolished all tuition fees for national and international students alike, offering free internationally recognized degrees for every prospective student. There you have it: the ideal study abroad destination.

No wonder students from all around the world are confused as to why can every other country cannot make such a convenient move as Germany. However, the lack of tuition fees is just one of many benefits of studying in Germany. Lets go through all the advantages Germany has to offer to international students

1. No tuition fees at public universities in Germany

Higher education in Germany is mainly funded by the state and as such it is literally free of charge for domestic and international students alike. The German higher education system consists of around 400 institutions, divided into public tuition free institutions that host over 2.4 million students across Germany, and a smaller number of private institutions that enroll less than 5% of the total student body.

In the past decade, Germany has been politically struggling to ban tuition fees throughout the whole country; yet as a decentralized federal country it was difficult to bring all 16 of the federations to agree. In October 2014, consensus was reached and Germany is now offering access to free higher education to all students, regardless of their origin.

2. Excellent higher education staff members and infrastructure

Higher education in Germany consists of three different types of institutions:

Universities

Universities of Applied Sciences

Technical, Art, Film and Music Colleges

Most public universities in Germany date from the Middle Ages, barring a significant tradition of qualitative education and prominent names in various academic disciplines. Other institutions were either founded after the Second World War or fairly recently, including most of the private universities in Germany.

Universities in Germany are known to excel in both infrastructure and curricula. Optimal facilities providing contemporary technology, and a diversified professional staff that contributes to compounding an enlightening curricula, ensure promising future generations of experts regardless of the discipline. Innovation, international cooperation and practice-oriented studies are considered to be the revolutionary roads to a world-class education.

3. Internationally recognized degrees

Universities in Germany now all operate under the Bologna reform, which ensures all students get a unified and internationally recognized degree such as bachelors, masters or PhD.

BA/BSc equals 6 semesters of study

MA/MSc equals to 2-4 semesters, depending on the program

PhD equals 4-6 semesters, depending on the program

This applies to most academic disciplines, except for medicine, law and pharmacy. In these subjects students are still educated in the traditional way; a state exam is conducted at the end of studies, and the course lasts a few more semesters than an ordinary bachelors degree.

4. Study programs taught in English

Studying in Germany not only comes for free, but you can also do it in English if your German language skills are not so good. English is an international and widely spoken language, taught as a second language in the majority of schools around the world. A fresh start in a new country, a new university AND a new language can be tougher than you think; therefore you might want to go easy on yourself and take up an international program taught in English while your German language skills advance, and then perhaps switch to studying in Germany.

5. Great job opportunities

Regardless of the free tuition fee policy, studying in Germany doesnt come entirely for free you still need to meet the living costs. Therefore many international students tend to look for a job to support themselves while studying. It is very easy for EU students to find a job, as there are no limitations whatsoever. Meanwhile students from non-EU countries have to apply for a work permit, and their working hours are limited to 190 full days or 240 half days per year.

Students from countries outside of the EU, EEA or Switzerland are not permitted to work freelance or self-employed. However, this has seldom been an issue since Germany is a very well-developed country where the economy supports thousands of new jobs every day, giving the majority of international students the possibility of finding a decent job.

Its worth mentioning that practice-oriented universities in Germany have agreements with great companies, providing students with internships. These may not always be paid, but could lead to a great future job after obtaining your degree.

6. A chance to explore all aspects of life in Germany

Student life in Germany thrives on adrenaline and curiosity. German people are friendly but give you privacy; mutual respect and order are part of the daily routine; and cultural diversity is worth exploring in every inch of the country, as it makes you feel part of one entity rather than a total stranger.

Outdoor activities are pretty popular in Germany, including sports, hiking, cycling, skiing and more so students who consider themselves athletic are going to fit in just fine. As most international students choose to live in metropolises, theyll find lots of activities to fill their spare time; hanging out in bars, clubbing, theater and cinema are all part of student life in Germany. Most of the great German cities are artsy and have a vivid underground music scene, full of hipster fashion, books and ideals which all make for an enlightening and interesting experience.

If you get tired of the frenzy, youll find that Germans are for the most part more private people, who prefer smaller gatherings behind closed doors, enjoying their food and beverages in a more intimate atmosphere. Once you have a chance to join local friendship groups, you will start learning about real life in Germany.

Germans are by all means green. Parks and green spaces are part of every neighborhood and remain the ideal space to calm the mind. Travelling in and out of the country promises surreal landscapes, great architecture and loads of historical data to be revealed.

Another true advantage to life in Germany is the excellent public transport, which is efficient, safe and fast. As an additional perk of studying in Germany, you get a travel card for free by paying enrollment and administrative taxes that are ridiculously low.

7. Staying in Germany after your studies

Finally, after studying in Germany, youll have the chance to stay on and seek work after you graduate. The law allows international graduates to stay for an additional 18 months to seek work, and you may even end up staying longer, if that is what you wish.
