[@Nicky355]

Your possibility of admission: With your educational background, you qualify for direct subject-restricted admission only to a university of applied sciences (Fachhochschule) for academic studies in the subject area of your previous education. does that mean I can study only in Fachhochschule or I can study in hochschule? becuase hochschule is the combination of university and university of applied sciences

[@sylent351]

Hey Max thanks for the video! I have a question about studying in Germany as an international student. So I'm currently in my 2nd year in mechatronics engineering. The course quality is not that good for me. I'm considering starting a new degree in Germany(Probably Physics or engineering physics). Which one will be easier to get a DAAD scholarship, applying for DAAD without a bachelor's degree or after getting the degree? And i watched your video about TUM, i prefer applied science like you. Which universities is better for these fields in your opinion?

[@maxyoko]

applying for a DAAD scholarship after completing a bachelor's degree is more common, but there are options for undergraduates too. When it comes to the Universities of Applied Sciences, Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Karlsruhe - Technik und Wirtschaft), Munich University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule München), Aachen University of Applied Sciences or Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences are really good

Hey, I am a student from India, and I am looking to pursue my BTech in Computer Science in Germany. I feel a bit confused and lost about which type of college to choose. Could you please clarify the exact requirements for admission? Additionally, I’m curious about how students are accepted-will having a strong background in CS and numerous projects improve my chances? What exams do I need to give and are UAS really better than classic universities for International Students and are they globally recognized? Also I have completed my 12 year education in my home country but Germany requires 13 years of education, how and where can I complete that additional 1 year of education? Anyways I love your vides they are quite informative 😊

[@drishtysharma6133]

Hi , is it mandatory to score at least 90% in 12th class to get admission in public university?

[@sheikhhaseeb2026]

Usually we get visa from our home country of 6 months duration. And when we extend it after reaching Germany for how much duration our residence permit is valid ? Like one year or until the studies ? Or we have to renew it every year ?? I just have these confusion if you can answer please about your experience. Thank you in advance!!

[@maxyoko]

When you extend your visa after arriving in Germany, the duration of your residence permit can vary depending on the reason for your stay. For students, typically a residence permit is granted for the duration of your studies. But you might renew it every year so that it stays valid

Hii Max, I hope you're doing well. Your content is incredibly useful, and I wanted to ask you a question about universities in Germany. I am a 25-year-old Japanese student, and I am interested in pursuing a bachelor's degree in Germany. I was wondering if German universities have mature-age students, and whether someone like me would be able to apply? Thank you so much for your help.

[@maxyoko]

Really appreciate your nice comment ^^ It is possible to study in Germany at any age. We had a guy in my Physics degree who was 56 years old. Now most of the students at classic universities are going to be very young, usually fresh high school graduates but there are also people in their mid-twenties. At Universities of applied sciences, there might be more people on your age level. I would say the average age in my degree program (Hochschule München) is 23 years.

[@Hiro-kw8ev]

@@maxyoko Thank you for your reply! Ohh I see, that's understandable that there are some mature students in STEM degrees . Actually, I'm interested in Economics so there might be a few students around my age... But anyway I'll think about it, thank you very much : ) ありがとうございます！

[@_xdontknoww.01]

As some german universities require 13 years of education for admission in universities...Is it possible to get admission after studying one year in an EU country (recognized by german education system) in a bachelor's program and the other 12 years from my home country?

[@maxyoko]

Yes, should be fine. But always check with the specific university and course :)

Hi Max 👋 what does Local NC mean 🤔 ? Thanks

There can be restrictions to a degree program (NC) and they might differ from university to university (state to state). Local NC means that a particular degree program at a particular university has restricted admission.

[@maxyoko]

More likely in private universities. Your high school leaving certificate is strong, but your first-year university score might be below the typical expectation for English-only courses, so check with the universities

[@noellezx8732]

In your opinion, are applied sciences Universities less reputed than General, Technical Universities? Does this matter in international job market?

[@maxyoko]

They are not well known internationally but usually if you have strong skills you will get a job everywhere. It's a bit different if you wanna go into investment banking, for example, these people value prestigious institutions

[@frool76]

These days you get the same degree from applied universities and universities. In the end it depends on what you want to do after your studies. Universities focus in scientific careers, while applied university (which are only called like that in English, they are no real universities and not called a university in German) focus on the industrial application, hence the name. Finally it depends on the person/company looking at your degree. For an industry job, a degree from an applied university should be better (e.g. because it includes internships), but some companies sadly see more scientific degrees from the university as "better". You should decide what you prefer. University give you way more freedom, but also require more autonomous work. Also you will go deeper into foundations with way leas applications. Applied universities on the other hand are often structured more or less like schools, less freedom, but also more guidance to get through.

Switching from a private English-language university to a public one in Germany is possible, but it depends on meeting the language and academic prerequisites of the public university. You gotta check the transfer policies and requirements of the specific public university you're considering before planning the switch :)

[@maxyoko]

3.9 is quite an impressive GPA. To know the exact GPA requirements for your desired program, it's best to check their official website. German universities often consider more than just grades; they may look at your overall application, extracurricular activities, motivation, and language proficiency. So it would probably be better if you focus on them instead of getting slightly better grades :)
