The deadline depends on the campus and location. Do contact us for the exact dates.
In general, registration is on a first-come-first-served basis. Students are encouraged to apply early as there is a quota for every subject and students are not allowed to take that subject if it is full.
German universities only require for A level students to take 3 subjects. Hence, students are advised to focus on three A level subjects.
Kindly refer to the timetable. As a rule of thumb, you will receive 4 to 6 hours of German classes weekly.
Speak to our study advisors and they will advice the best combination based on what you want to study.
Yes, you can. Do reach out to us so we are able to advise based on your proficiency levels. You may also be able to register for our University Preparation Programme directly after your A level studies have been completed. However, we encourage you to join the A Level German Pathway anyway and use it as an opportunity to practice as our syllabus is very intensive.
Yes, you may take A level without learning the German language now, and join our University Preparation Programme upon completion of your A level.
Now that you’ve made up your mind to start this exciting journey, fill up this form and one of our study advisors will get in touch with you.
After completing up to B1 level at the end of your 18-month A Level, you only need another 9 months to learn up to C1 level through our full-time intensive University Preparation Programme.
Generally, this is correct, but this also depends on where you’re studying in Germany. Public universities in the state of Baden-Württemberg impose a tuition fee of €1500 per semester to international students. Public universities in other German states, though, still offer tuition-free education to international students although this may vary according to courses – so we recommend checking prior to applying to them.
Students do need to pay a semester contribution to their university, though. The fee depends on the university’s requirements and will vary from one university to another. Upon contribution, students will receive a semester ticket that can be used to travel via public transportation within a certain zone in which the university is located. Students also get to enjoy a variety of discounts with this ticket especially for leisure activities.
There are about 400 higher educational institutions offering more than 21,000 courses – and popular ones include engineering, natural sciences, mathematics, and subjects related to computer science.
There is no limitation or restriction on the universities you want to study at as long as you meet the requirements. Our team will guide you in researching for one that suits you most, and assist you in your university application.
German universities offer both German- and English-taught courses. Most undergraduate courses are conducted in German, whereas postgraduate courses are widely available in English. You can study in English if the course you want is available in English.
Malaysian students will require a student visa to study in Germany. Students can only apply for a student visa after receiving a letter of offer from the university.
Yes! After studying in Germany, there’s a huge career opportunity especially for professionals such as engineers. Best of all, graduates stay back in Germany for up to 18 months to search for a job.
As a student, you will want to set aside €850 to €1000 a month for your living expenses. The bulk of your monthly expense is for rent. Typically, the rent in larger cities is more expensive compared to smaller university towns. For example, the rent in Berlin can go up to €700 a month while the same sized room at a smaller university town is only half that price.
Students are allowed to work part-time up to 120 full days or 240 half days. Mandatory internship does not count to this quota. However, students with the “language course visa” are not allowed to work.
Some part-time jobs students can look out for are:
- Student jobs at their university. Eg. librarian, research assistant, tutors, etc.
- Helping out at restaurants, cafes or hotels
- Summer jobs at factories
From the second year onwards, students can start to work at companies relevant to their studies to gain relevant working experience.
Medical insurance is compulsory for students and that includes local as well as international students. There are a few providers in the market so do compare before deciding on one.
Liability insurance, on the other hand, is nice to have especially for students who are independent for the first time. The liability insurance will, for example, protect students from accidental damage caused by a fire in the kitchen while cooking.
