Studying in Germany｜Did You Know Germany Has Lots of English-Taught Schools? Busting 3 Myths About Studying in Germany! 🇩🇪
Hi hi ~ I'm Kelly, founder of German-Preture (德映國際). Doing consultations on studying in Germany over the past few years, I've noticed more and more people want to pursue further study in countries other than the US, the UK and Australia, but they keep running into big misconceptions about the language requirements. As an informant on the front lines here in Germany, I have to bust everyone's stereotypes about Germany!
Here are the 3 biggest myths about studying in Germany that I've pulled together, to help you see Germany in a new light:
❌ Myth 1. You have to speak German to study in Germany!
▶Totally wrong! Germany now has lots of English-taught universities and graduate programs!
Germany today isn't as closed to outsiders as the stereotype suggests. Not only can you get around fine in English as a tourist, but in education, many universities have also launched English-taught programs.
Plus, the English requirements for studying in Germany are lower than in the US or UK, which makes it a good option that's relatively easy to prepare for if you want to study abroad!
❌ Myth 2. Few people go to Germany to study
▶Big misunderstanding! In data published in 2023, Germany rose to No. 3 in the world in the rankings of study-abroad destinations, ahead of Australia!
Germany has kept growing more popular as a study-abroad destination in recent years, and more and more people are choosing to study there. Besides what I mentioned in the previous point, that more and more German schools teach in English, here are the advantages of studying in Germany you need to know:
Lower tuition
Tax benefits
High-quality schools
International environment
Focus on building practical experience
Broad career prospects
❌ Myth 3. Studying in Europe or the US is always expensive!
▶If you're a bit frugal, tuition plus living costs in Germany can come to NT$500,000 a year, while a year in the US starts at NT$1.5 million. That's a full 2 times lower!
The vast majority of German universities are tuition-free (except in Baden-Württemberg and a few other cases); you only pay a fee each semester, so you save a lot on tuition alone!
On top of that, students get special discounted transit tickets, and if you also cook all your meals at home, your total cost for a year can stay under NT$1 million.
Those 3 are the myths and questions I've heard most from clients over my years of consulting. Did I manage to bust your stereotypes about studying in Germany?🤩
