Welcome everyone,
I have observed that many students, Pakistani in particular, have some difficulty in finding information related to Higher Education in Germany. Sometimes I see questions posted on forums e.g. Yahoo groups which are very basic. I thought it would be very useful if one can make the basic information available to everyone in a blog.
I am starting with the very basics but later on I intend to provide advanced information as well. My next planned step would be guidance in visa application, similarly in points form. I will try to improve everything based on feedback. Therefore, please feel free to ask questions and suggest improvements.
Here is how anyone from anywhere in the world can start with their search for information about where and how to apply in Germany for higher studies:
- Go to www.daad.de.
- Click on "Information for Foreigners".
- On the left side of the page, it says "Study and Research in Germany". Below this, go to "Course Search" and in the list that appear next to Course Search, click on "International Programs".
- Now you can select, according to your preferences, the Education Level, Field of Study and a Subject.
- Then click "Show Programs".
- Now you will be displayed a list of all available courses in German universities according to your selection. The links and other related information will be mentioned there.
- Check the list and find programs you like. Then you can click on those programs to go to their sites and find out more information about them.
What I would advise here is to make a table in Excel about the programs you like and write down their links, location, ranking, requirements, deadlines etc. and then take it from there on!
Good Luck! Or, as they say in Germany, Viel Glück!
