The German University System Explained (rankings, degrees, types)

I'm going to explain the university system in Germany and tell you everything about the different types of universities, public vs. private ones, the degrees you can get and the truth about the university rankings. Many international students want to know what university is like in Germany to be able to successfully study here.

My tip as a german: Ignore private universities. While it may be true, that they are better in other countries, it does not apply to Germany. Public universities are good to very good and private universities usually cater only the desire for exceptionalism of elitists. They may be good, but are in absolutely no way better than public universities. In Germany, education is like it should be everywhere: Free and good for all.

[@maxyoko]

yess well said!

[@LeegallyBliindLOL]

Woah, hold on there guys, wtf. Most private universities exist for the purpose of dual studies (part time work part time study), not because people are rich. The costs are covered by the companies. That way the student earns a salary while studying and both the student and the company are basically guaranteed an employee and a company. They have to fulfill the same curriculum requirements as public unis if they want to give out ECTS.

[@LeegallyBliindLOL]

@Lemonade-up9br Where did you learn that? I applied to four public ones and got accepted into all without any problems with only a 2.4 in my Abi. Hannover, mind you, so extremely overfilled universities. I decided to go with a private one, not because I can afford it, because I can't, I'm poor xD, but because my partner company covers it and I get a salary, which ultimately makes it cheaper than public uni for me. Yes, private unis are frowned upon, but not always for reasonable reasons.

[@roadrunner6224]

@@LeegallyBliindLOL if you get your medical degree at a private university everyone will think, that you just didn't make the cut for a spot at a public university

[@LeegallyBliindLOL]

@@roadrunner6224 That's just silly. "Not making the cut". The only reason people "don't make the cut" is because public uni is overfilled and then they sort by grade, not because you had to pass some exam to get in, lmao. I'd rather have a degree than get on a waiting list for several years just because some people are too incapable of not judging others on something that is fundamentally an issue with universities and their funding, instead of public vs private and lots of private schools are great and have very good Profs as well that public Unis simply can't afford. A lot of private unis also have actual entrance exams to filter out people that are no good to begin with. Of course there are private unis that are jokes, but the same goes for public Unis.

[@Xhisorsify]

Small addition: Typically, the high Quality research in Germany is performed in research Institute (also publicly funded) like the Max Planck Society. Which makes the Rankings sort of stupid (comparing private US and UK universities with public ones, while the state funds the research societies to be Great in the rankings) So, check if your dream University is located in a City with such renowned institutes. If fields overlap, the directors from there will give lectures in the University and you can connect to them. The professor from there are a few of the Best in their field World wide and get a lot of applications for thesis' and if you vistited their lectures they might hire you because of knowing you. Also PhDs (Promotionen) in STEM (physics, chemistry, life sciene,...) usually take 3-5 years and are badly paid!

[@ElektrischInkorrekt]

Sometimes the universities do also have these research Institutes. I personally can Tell you only from two universities, and both also have these research Institutes. And at least in 'my' institute in my University the people doing Research also have to teach the new students.

[@Marzelmusik]

In very specialised fields of research lecturers might even come from across the country if a research institute shares this speciality with your study program. I had two lectures that were held by people from an institution 300 km away.

Yes, imagine someone would have the idea to unite the local Max-Planck-Institutes, Helmholtz, Fraunhofer etc. with the local Universities Suddenly the Nobel-Laurates would count! Over night we would have high ranking universities! 😉 The CVs of our Nobel Laurates show their Unis where they get their skills from.

[@user-og7ww3oj1c]

Contrary to the mindset of plenty of international students, I would want to address certain concepts or misconception that I used to have. Hopefully this is gonna make the selection process easier. 1. A university that is "prestigious" by ranking does not automatically denote a competitive selection process. A lot of the bachelors degree does not even have a selection process, as in if you fulfill the requirement you are guaranteed to get a seat. However, the real selection happens during the first few semesters, where a lot of the people either voluntarily drop out or is kicked out by not passing exams. So looking at acceptance rates really would not be helpful in determining your chances. It would be much better for you to go to the website of your desired degree and check what kind of admission is used, and if there are admission restrictions, do a self estimation based on your grades. 2. Choose the city, not the uni. I am currently studying at a relatively high ranked german uni, and I can assure that the undergrad courses across unis are literally the same. The discrepancy between teaching quality is wrongly implied by the difference in ranking. You could even find study materials of other unis of basically the exact same course. So I would not put too much focus on picking the "best uni" as truth be told, none of them offer a siginifcant enough advantage compared to the rest. A general rule of priority goes as follows: course offered at chosen uni > course contains specializations you are interested in > the city the uni is located in > personal preference > international rankings. And for those who are asking what degrees are offered at which uni with english/german, just use the DAAD search engine. You can search up all different courses offered in all public german unis and FHs, then filter them by your preference like language of instruction or location. At least do some of your own research.

[@maxyoko]

[@nikhils8001]

[@tonchrysoprase8654]

As somebody who hires extensively from the top 1/2 tier of the US system and Europe, it's important to note a major difference: top tier US institutions don't sell education, they sell access. They provide excellent education for those who are interested in it, but it's not what their purpose is and availing yourself of it is an optional extra. The system is entirely ridiculous since selecting teenagers based on 'merit' (mostly, how rich their parents are or how much they can pay to game the admissions system) and then effectively giving them straight A+ for showing up and not actively soiling themselves in public isn't as good as a preparation for life as the elites here think it is. But that doesn't matter since rankings are as easily gamed as admissions and ultimately, if the network places even the most impressively useless grad into a well-paying job everybody wins. Well, everybody other than society, which isn't doing so hot right now. So in short, it's hard to get into prestigious universities (unless you're part of the elite), but once you're in it's very, very easy to get out with a nice degree. In Europe, on the other hand, it's generally easier to get into universities as long as you meet the basic criteria (which does involve some social inequality and gatekeeping, but not to the same extent), but once you're in, you actually have to work to graduate, especially if you want to have decent grade. That means the top grads from Europe tend to come from a much more varied set of universities. The top people (i.e. first tier students in the US who put in the work because they choose to get an education in one of the incredibly well resourced Us and the people at the top of any one European university) tend to be about the same, except for ability to name drop famous profs. On the second rung, European universities are vastly superior, though, producing a much, much larger number of well-rounded people.

[@meindorf123]

Very good video. I like your objective view on different forms of universities. I got two points to ad: 1. It may seem unintuitive, but in germany going to a private university is often seen as "cheating" or less valuable. Since education is free here, people tend to think that if you have to pay for education you can't make it in the "normal" ones. It's more like: "if you can't make it, you have to buy it" 2. Doing a PhD in a science based topic will almost allways take more than 3 years. One of my professors used to say: "if you take less than 3 years for an engineering or physics PhD then you must have cheated."

[@Rocky712_]

1. Yes, that´s true. I, as a german, have that slight negative bias, too. It´s probably not fair though and as long as you don´t plan to stay in Germany to work, it shouldn´t matter. I feel like that negative bias is getting less though the more common those programs are getting. In the end you still get an equal degree. 2. Haven´t done PhD, but the PhD programs also suffer from the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz. I think you can´t take longer than 6yrs for your PhD, but everything beyond the first 3 years is more or less "voluntarily" by whoever is in charge of that at your University/Institution and if they cancel the contract with you, you basically spend 3 years of your life for the hope of getting a PhD / doctoral degree and ended up with nothing.

[@Cupcakiiiii]

Idk why this video was recommended to me but as a German who studied in one of the best ranked universities in my field of study (because I lived there already, most Germans care less about rankings but more about saving money and work opportunities for internships 😂) I can only urge you to not choose your university because of some ranking. Yes, my university was great in research but the teaching and organisation wasn't good. An international student who did a semester abroad once said to me that in her home country it felt like professors wanted you to pass while here in Germany it feels like they want you to fail. And it really does, at least at my university. Now at work people are telling me I went to a prestigious university but quite honestly I learned nothing. Many of my friends who went to universities of applied sciences learned way more useful things for on the job.

[@maxyoko]

Thanks for sharing your experience ^^

[@a45701]

In the US for example admission is often very selective and those admitted students are selected to match the academic requirements. Once a student is admitted it’s in the best interest of the university to graduate the student successfully. However universities typically don’t admit by major and a problem exists for popular majors like CS where the number of admitted students that are interested in the subject exceeds the number of available seats. In this case it’s common to have difficulty first year classes that filter out some of the hopefuls. That’s then a similar situation like in Germany where first year classes can be crowded.

Just a small remark as to campus size: here in Münster, you could argue that the campus *is* the city - university buildings (and sometimes parts of buildings) are all over the city. Just for a very small example, I worked for the uni computing center as a student ... in a side street, in a house that looked exactly like all the "normal" houses in the street, except it was filled with computer stuff and offices. (That one was not open to the public, it was strictly back-office.) But the computing center main building, right next to the math building and across a major street from the physics building (and others) ... you can see the twin towers of the uni hospital in the distance, around it is what looks like normal housing and contains the medical faculty of the uni. I don't think you can the castle (Schloss) from there where the central administration is located (and some other faculties and the botanical garden) ... and so forth.

[@sebastiangrimm7115]

Hey nice video :) A small addition, you said a PhD in Germany typically takes between one and three years. That's not entirely true and missing a big part of the picture. In Germany, contrary to most other countries, you are not regarded a "student" but treated as someone who already has expertise. This means most of the time you will be paid while doing your PhD and a lot of the time you will have some sort of teaching duty. Because of this teaching duty a PhD in Germany can take up to five years in total which makes the country one of the slowest in producing new researchers.

[@maxyoko]

Thanks for pointing out, I'll definitely do more research :)

[@uditabhattacharya2824]

Can you tell me how a doktor is different from a Phd? The international norm in my country, US and UK is after masters, students do a phD programme, defend their thesis to get the doctorate tag and eventually professor. Can you tell me where a Doktor from Germany stands equivalent ?

[@frool76]

​@@uditabhattacharya2824The degree in the end is the same. There are some PhD programmes in Germany as well, but most students start working in research fields, find a topic and supervisor on their own and then write the thesis either as part of their job or in their free time. That depends on your job direction, in computer science it's easy to find a job as a researcher at a university or research institute full time including time to work on your PhD, while in things like philosophy you'll most likely get half of a position and have to use your free time for the PhD. You could also find a contract in the industry with the possibility to do your PhD in parallel. PhD programmes are centered on the PhD itself, while in the other cases you work on research related to your topic, thus often taking more time (3-6 years is common).

[@MarkusWitthaut]

Great content! I would like to comment from my perspective. I am a German that has studied computer science, has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (both at a German University). I am lecturing part time at a private university and at a "standard" public university. I did lecture only at an University of Applied Sciences. So I have some background on the topic. I would like to congratulate for your concise description and recommendations! Additionally, I would like to stress things you mentioned: 1. As mentioned by you and others, Rankings of Universities as a whole are not important at all. Consider rankings of German Universities only - if at all - by faculty. Note further, that most rankings favor publications in English. German journals are not so much taken into account. So German Universities score lower in international rankings. To sum it up. Forget about rankings when selecting a German University. 2. "Standard" Universities versus the other types (universities of applied science, Duales Studium, private Universities). The standard Universities give you a lot of freedom in your study. There are less rigid and require a high degree of self discipline. That has the danger that your study takes longer. 3. The duration for a PhD with 1 to 3 years is very short. On average, it takes 4 to 5 years. But usually you are working as a lecturer (assistant to a professor) during your PhD and are paid (full-time or halftime employment). You can write a PhD also while working at a research institute (check for the "Gesellschaften" named Max-Planck, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Leibniz, Helmholtz and others) or even at a Company. 4. English courses are picking up. Note however, that Germany is very bureaucratic, i.e., you have to proof your English skills first (TOEFL, IELTS und Cambridge Certificate etc.) unless you are a native speaker coming from USA, UK, Ireland, NZ, Canada and Australia.

Hey Markus thanks for your valuable input. i do have a question, Do you have to be fluent in German to take classes in those research universities ? i know in Sweden most (or some) is taught in English.. thx

[@MarkusWitthaut]

@@leonardoorellano6652 In Germany, it is the other way round. Unless explicitly mentioned, assume that the courses are taught in German. This includes the lectures and the written and oral exams. The daad database has in total 22 000 course (45% bachelor degree and 45% masters degree). Nearly 20 000 are held in German but 2067 are English courses spanning from "3D Animation for Film and Games" to "World Heritage Studies". Note further that only 334 English study programs are for a bachelor degree. Most German universities require you to present a proof of upper intermediate to advanced German language skills (level B2/C1) to study in German.

Personally, I would always go for a public university with only a few exceptions that would make a private university more suitable for your studies (like if you're looking for a specific (nieche) programm or certain double majors in STEM). My main reason for this is that a public school will make your life easier. They offer semester tickets for public transit, access to a wide variety of online libraries and publications like JSTOR, Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, Wiley, etc. through a national public university network. This network negotiates research publication licensing for all German public universities. This is especially important if you want to study social sciences. It will make your life so much easier and save you so much money, you have no idea. Books that you might have to purchase for 100€ and more at a private university are free to download as a pdf. The online libraries of most public universities are much more extensive than the physical libraries. I never had to step foot into my university's library for a term paper or something like this. And on top of that, being a student at a public university might grant you other advantages like free entry to public museums in the city and free entry to other amusement and education places like zoos. There are discounts for renting bikes or cars. There are some private universities who might offer some of these things as well, but never all of it. That's because the AStA (student self-organization and advocating group, exists at every public university) negotiates those deals for you. You want to go to a university to study, to learn something, but do not underestimate the importance of campus and student life. For many, it's what makes them keep going when things get though. A public university will always offer you a more complete package in this regard.

[@maxyoko]

Facts! Thanks for sharing 🫶

[@LeegallyBliindLOL]

Again, most private unis are also part of the Studentenwerk, so they also get Semestertickets, the same libraries and the same caféterias. All of the stuff public uni students get, most private uni students get as well. What is up with all of these comments filled with misinformation and hatred about private unis? xD I get it, some are filled with rich kids, but a lot of us are not that

[@mopsmensch]

That's absolutely not the case. "Most private unis" is an overstatement. There's a distinction to be made. It might be the case for Universities of Applied Sciences (there are many half-private among them) but definitely not for Fachhochschulen. Or why else would my friends who study at private Fachhochschulen regularly hit me up if I can look up a book or article for them in my university's online library? And it's not communicated upfront either, like written on their website or something. So someone looking for a university in Germany should be aware of this and not only rely on rankings and what's written on the university's website to determine whether or not the university will be a good fit. In this case, you would have to ask around, preferably someone from that university to know.@@LeegallyBliindLOL

[@LeegallyBliindLOL]

@@mopsmensch Where did I say to rely on rankings? Rankings are stupid. Your personal experience does not equal reality. I am in a "Fachhochschule", which is just another word for private Uni. We are part of the same Studentenwerk as everybody else in lower Saxony. It ultimately boils down to the students voting in the student council to represent them. For somebody looking to get into a German university from another country, if they even have a choice with the university, given that they're all overfilled, then they can very easily look up that information, instead of disregarding a lot of valid universities due to the personal experiences of a guy in a KZbin comment section. If you study anything that is in science, then you, more than anyone else, should know not to generalize so broadly based on your own personal sample size. Edit: to address the fact that it's not advertised. You can look it up online or just check the "Semestergebühren". It will say it there, beforehand.

[@mopsmensch]

@@LeegallyBliindLOL First of all, the same way my personal experience shouldn't be counted as a universal truth, your experience also shouldn't be counted as a universal truth. My comment is merely one opinion among many. And the part about rankings obviously in regards to the video, not your comment. Neither did I say that no Fachhochschule will offer these things to their students. You're right. Many do have semester tickets, but again, not all. Some are part of the national library network, others are not (this is also not a thing that you can easily look up; I would find it on my university's website only because I know where to look for but a Fachhochschule website is often much smaller and simply structured; I know of public and private universities who do not write that anywhere on their website). I didn't say that you can't look up if a semester ticket is included in your Semestergebühren. I said it's rarely communicated upfront (publicly) if you will have access to online libraries at that specific university. It's also rarely communicated at a public university, but that's okay because it's as good as guaranteed there. Furthermore, there is a huge, huge difference between STEM-related Fachhochschulen and social sciences/arts/religion-related Fachhochschulen. Fachhochschule is not simply a different word for private university. Fachhochschulen are called that because they specialize in a certain field and only offer a selection of majors. I didn't generalize. I offered my perspective and opinion based on my experience. Everyone can consider what I said or leave it. You just assumed a lot of stuff about me, the same you assumed I'm a guy. Also, why are you so hung up about my comment if you think my opinion doesn't matter or is incorrect? You're welcome to correct me if I said something factually wrong but you cannot correct my perspective or discredit my experiences. And if you correct me, please do it based on what I actually said.

Nice summary

[@lenya4950]

My tip is look into the city your potential uni is in. Do you want a big and international city? Something a bit smaller? Some with good traffic connection? A really cheap city? At most uni there is a professional consultation that can also help you with the application, etc. But if you really want to have a full picture, there are also “ask a student” possibilities. Mostly it’s students of the specific major youre looking into. So they can give you insights into uni, the city, the teaching and stuff. Ive been told that they’re honest and not trying to sell the uni to you. Also if you life close to the uni in germany, there are “open days” where theyll show you the uni and sometimes they have online versions of that so international students can also take part.

[@Marcus-et2if]

For computer science you will be admitted almost everywhere because we have a very high need for every kind of engineer. But the quality of teaching can vary from university to university so you should focus your research on that. Somtimes less renowned universities have better teaching. Also think about studying at an university of applied science because they can be much more hands-on if your goal is a job as an engineer in a company rather than beeing a researcher.

[@HeadsFullOfEyeballs]

Placing German universities in a global ranking is difficult because (like many other things in Germany) the university system is polycentric. There aren't one or two big prestigious institutions that get the best of everything. Instead, advanced competencies in different fields are spread out across the country. That's also why Germans don't pay much attention to the national rankings. Nobody here is going to be very impressed that you graduated from Heidelberg University specifically, like they might be for MIT or Oxford. It's much more granular than that.

[@Szcza04]

I’d say that’s a successful education system. No great disparity in education across the country.

[@HeadsFullOfEyeballs]

@@Szcza04 The German university system is quite good, I'd say. The problem is with schools, because they segregate pupils into different "levels" of school very early (from 5th grade), pretty much locking in their educational prospects after that point. At such a young age, a lot of your school performance depends on your background -- how educated your parents are, how much German is spoken at home, etc. etc. So it reinforces existing class divisions instead of lifting people up.

Another thing I might add is that it is also good to look at smaller universities in smaller cities or even towns. There are multiple benefits for this. 1. It is cheaper. Housing costs in Germany can quite differ and the monthly cost for a room in munich can be multiple times higher than in other German cities. This is especialy true in eastern germany where the costs of living are in general lower. 2. There is not that much of a quality difference. Yes you might not get a nobel price winner as your proffessor but aside of that will you mostly have the education quality. 3. You will know your teachers and proffessors by far better and they will have time for every student asking questions per E-Mail or after lectures. I might add that there is a special type of town in Germany which is called "Studentenstadt". These are cities and towns between 50.000 and 120.000 residents in which a quarter or sometimes even more of the residents are students of the local university or are working there. An example for this is Göttingen with 120.000 residents including 28.500 students and 13.000 additional residents who work at the university.

This is a half-tangent, but if you go to a German University, please consider seeking out the "Fachschaft." That's basically the student council, except it's less formal than student councils tend to be in other countries (although that depends on the faculty). In the best case it's a win-win for both sides: you are better connected to your fellow students and lecturers and are more informed on the inner workings of your university and study course, and you also get to play an active role in shaping the studies and social life at your faculty. Also, it looks good on the CV 😉

[@Dirkiboy1990]

Great Video - thanks! Few additions concerning the PhD: doctorates oftentimes are scheduled for 3 years, but can take decades to finish (averaging at about 4 (years - thx for the comment @johaquila)). A PhD can be earned in Germany, but "Doktor" is more common and differ from PhD programs. Most Common ones are the Dr med (medicine), Dr-Ing (engineering), and Dr rer nat (Science). Doctorates are less structured and usually don't involve as much credit or course work and more 'free' research - so writing and publishing papers IS the main and sometimes only task. Teaching can be a requirement If you are employed at the Uni (often the Case and actually well paid), but does Not have to. (And as you said: one must almost always have earned a masters degree before pursuing a doctorates). Lastly, the selection process for whom to become a PhD candidate can be very competitive, as being a Doktor comes with more social Prestige in Germany compared with other countries and mostly the supervisor is able to decide upon whom to enroll all by him- or herself.

[@johaquila]

Just to make that clear: The average time for getting a doctorate is not 4 decades. 4 years sounds about right for the average. The median will probably be a bit lower. People who finish their PhD after 20 years or so distort the average. The reason they can do this is that it's free, or essentially free, so it is possible to start your PhD, then fully focus on work or your family, and return to it much later.

The rankings have more or less an entertaining character, such as "what's the best city to live in". You don't choose your place to live by a ranking. So you don't with universities. To have an academic degree is a high value by itself, and recruiters don't distinguish between schools very much. If at all - ranking must be done by subject, who's the best in medicine, who's the best in economics etc. But however, that's more or less unimportant to get a bachelor. The special qualities you will only experience in Master and Ph.D. programs, not before.

I attend a private Uni/ college whatever you could call it, german universitys are known not to use the correct terms for their schools. In my case my course only exists as a private one so there is no choice between public or private. The expenses for a private school are no joke, not to mention the additional expenses you'd have to pay for the materials, every semester and before the DB made that new train ticket for cheap, I had to pay almost 300€ for a ticket to travel between my uni and home monthly, as I lived far away from the uni.

[@hotwind95]

Besides SWE and CS programs, an average engineering student at a (Public) German university has the training of a recently graduated engineer from North America with a MEng. I got a feeling that the 2020-2022 lock down has driven this gap even further. In late 2022, we had a batch of new American MechEngs attending mandatory training in EU and 60% of them have never been working or practicing in a machining workshop. Only 10% knows how to configure and operate a CNC router. They learned fast but if they had already paid a considerably high tuition to attend university, while did their program exclude all the hands on training (as well as a few important courses and basic industry practices)? Perhaps it's similar to the private system in Germany and if you can pay, they will let you in.

1:56 UK has literally almost no private unis lol, all the top ranking ones are public

[@Warflay]

With regards to public vs private universities: Public universities are available to everyone but only the best and the ones working the hardest will make it. Top universities ("Exzellenz" universities) like TUM, RWTH and so on accept around 1000 students per semester in popular courses (like CS or engineering) but only like 50-100 of those will make it to the masters degree (which is usually what Germans aim for as bachelor only studying is not that common). So only 5%-10% of students will make it In private universities on the other hand are built so pretty much everyone will finish (would be a bad business model if your customers are already gone after 1 semester) This then also of course results in the perception especially for employers that those people that went to private universities were either not skilled or tenacious enough to make it in a public university, and instead you just payed your way through. If this is justified or not is of course debatable, but this is definitely the perception that studying at a private university invokes. Therefore, anyone who can study at a public university should do so.

[@senfismustard]

hi max, i am going to be studying abroad in Germany in a few years through my college's study abroad programs. i am wondering about the following questions: 1. how can we tell, that a certain university will fit our interests/course of study? a lot of international students tend to focus on rankings and quality of teaching (at my campus, we use ratemyprofessor. most of the professors here are really bad according to reviews). my intended major is history, and i heard LMU is great for history. other than that, what should we specifically look at before we apply? 2. i will either be in Berlin or Freiburg when i study in Germany. i was told by my advisor that Berlin is too international and practicing German will be very difficult. can you make/do you have a video on what to expect when international students arrive in Germany/study in Germany? 3. do you have a video that explains the application process of German universities? my high school advisor told me that most European universities tend to send you admission results relatively quickly compared to US results, which can take up to 2-3 months. thanks for the information in the video, i am only relatively worried about culture shock, admission, quality of teaching, including if my German is even good enough for me to survive when i actually do directly apply and study in Germany (i will be taking a mix of German and English courses).

[@RyfkahChan]

1. Ignore rankings, they usually focus on research output. if you're looking to be a normal student, not a researcher, focus on the contents of the university: what courses do they teach? what are their topics? If you study history (or anything, really) I'd recommend checking out the Vorlesungsverzeichnis (lecture register) of the universities you are interested in. In your case, also check out the website of history institute, there you can usually get an idea of what they focus on. At most universities, you will be able to learn about modern german history. However, if there is an area you are particulary interested in (East German history, medival history, Gender topics...) you should take a look around to figure which university offers courses on the topic. If you don't know it already: For interesting humanities classes, you usually need to be good in German. Understanding German well enough to follow a lecture is vital, should be possible if you are at an intermediate level (unless the lecturer has a strong dialect, then only god and local students can help you.) Most younger lecturers will know English well, so it's probably fine if you write your term papers and exams in English, but you'll need to discuss that with your (prospective) lecturers. If you don't know German, or are at a really low level, make sure that you go to a university with a couple classes in English. 2. Berlin is extremely international. If you speak English, it's relatively easy to develop a live and routines without using much German. However, that can happen at any place you go to, given that there is a sizeable amount of international students. But your teacher is right: The smaller a place, the more likely it is that you will need German in your every day life. If people can figure that you are an English native speaker, they will likely want to practice their english with you. The less people around you know English, the less they expect someone to be speaking English, the more chances you will have to practice German. 3. German universities don't have a common application system. Afaik, you apply directly at the individual University. Usually every University has it's own deadlines, so check that well in advance on their website. If you can't find infos, e-mail the international office of the University you are interested in. What matters most is the system sending you? Which program are you going with? What are your college's conditions? Depending on these factors, application process, deadlines, etc. may differ widely. Choosing classes is often different for international students than for Germans, again, it will depend a lot on what your home university wants from you. If your home university doesn't care at all, you will likely have a lot of flexibilty. Home students usually apply through an online system. As an exchange student, you might be integrated into the online system or you might need to send a list of courses you want to take to (whoever the person in charge is).

[@maxyoko]

Really appreciate the long and detailed answer ❤️

[@yodajonasde]

@@RyfkahChan Completely agree here. Also would say that both cities are really good, famous and loved by students. (Have friends of mine studying in both places and they love it all.) So the main questions you should ask yourself is what kind of person I like and what kind of enviroment I need. Berlin is bigger, huge infrastruccture but because of the size of the city you still need a lot of time to get from spot a to b. Freiburg is smaller more family like, still has good infrastructure but everything is closer which also make driving with a bike far easier. The other Quests is the free time offers. There is a lot in both place! But still different. Uni sports programm, parks, Amusement parks, ... are given at both places but what really makes the difference is the surrounding offers like beeing close to the mountains, like of constans, the french border in Freiburg where you have in Berlin more the "city" feeling where you don´t have such places but indoor ski halls or something like that and are closer to the ocean. I personally would prefer Freiburg, especially since I am a huge soccer fan and one of the best clubs in the german scene is located there. But be sure to make your own choice ^^ ps. Also finding living room is hard in both places. But still much harder in Berlin since you are fighting with more workers for the same kinds of appartments.

I think it's great that public universities in Germany are highly ranked. The same can't be said of public universities in the USA. Here there are fantastic public universities but internationally speaking, most people think of Stanford, Harvard, etc when they envision prestige. Honestly I think that says more about the rankings than about the schools. If you aren't invested in rankings, there are many public schools that are glorified. In 2019 there was a scandal involving famous people bribing coaches to guarantee acceptance for their kids. There were also scandals about rich people paying for perfect ACT scores. It's disheartening when most of these schools cost something like $70,000 a year. Some people associate college kids and entitled behavior. It feels like people who work hard can't afford college, while others can due to luck. You speak very smoothly 😁

[@affenaffe3277]

It's not only difficult due to being on a platform, but also because the curriculum can be different and have pros and cons at the same time! So it is difficult to make a recommendation when you haven't experienced one of the schools yourself. E.g. when I started my studies I took a look at the rankings but only when I went to my university I was able to compare and ask the right questions to see pros/cons. So it was normal for ppl to switch after one-two semesters when comparing with other places, at times you can also take some credits from taken classes to the new place.

Sometimes rankings can make sense, however imo only when they are specific to a course of study. E. g. there is the CHE ranking for medical schools which is pretty reliable, and looking at the Studycheck scores doesn't hurt either. Just don't think that the number of papers per professor or something like that should dictate where you study, there is way more important things than such empirical values.

[@herbertbert3147]

Even still you should look at the last few years of the CHE ranking and check who has been reliably good as they tend to fluctuate a little every year. They do give a pretty good approximation tho.

The rankings really don’t mean anything. The LMU has been called the German Harvard when it comes to studying law and is frequently ranked 1st in Germany. In Bavarian rankings Passau (and I think Bayreuth as well) has been ranked higher a few times and it is well known that a lot of students change uni from Munich to Passau since it’s not as overcrowded. Prestige depends heavily on history and since not all universities were allowed to stay open during WWII or were forced to change their studies that’s not really a realistic comparison. At the end it’s important to know what you’re looking for in your university and choose accordingly.

For tuiton: Yes, it technically may be only up to 100€ a semester (or 200€ a year), but at many universities a "Semesterticket" for public transportation is MANDATORY and only in rare circumstances you can apply to not pay it (and not being able to use it). In my case, this ticket was roughly 200€/Semester on top of the fee. So, if you go to a university, be aware of that. It can change drastically from university to university. Other than that: I agree with what most people here say: Don´t waste so much tuition on a public university. It´s really not worth the money. Especially if you have to do a job just to survive (like Minijob up to 520€) or even Part Time (You are not allowed to do more than Part Time (roughly 20hrs a week on average), be aware of that), you will spend extra time working just to pay your semester fee... University is tough, don´t make your time harder than it already will be. And the living costs can vary a lot. Especially when you don´t get a 20m² ish apartment in a Studentenwohnheim and when you live in a big city (e. g. Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main, München). That´s all I could tell you as a native german that finished his Bachelor´s degree at one of the Top 10 Universities in Germany.

I think the reason why Germany isn't popular for their private schools/universities, is the reason they want to give everyone chances to a good education and jobs. If everything is about being always the best to enter private schools it lets other people (students) that can't afford to pay thousands of euros a year, stay in the dark. Germany just makes sure that there's not a too big gap between the top(wealthy) and bottom. Considering this, it allows us to go to decent schools, afford decent universities to get a decent(/good) job to life a good and at least decent life.
