Key Points To Consider Before Deciding To Study In Germany

Germany has become an increasingly popular destination for Indian students, who make up the largest group of foreign students in Germany for the second consecutive year. According to the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the number of Indian students has grown by 15.1% compared to the previous year, reaching 49,483 Indian students in the Winter Semester of 2023-2024. 

Here are some key points to consider before deciding to study in Germany:

Accommodation
Finding accommodation upon arrival can be both challenging and costly. Securing housing in advance is highly recommended, as it allows for a smoother transition to life in Germany.

Language
Learning German is beneficial and can significantly enhance daily life and academic success. Even a basic knowledge of the language helps with social integration and practical tasks.

Program Research
Researching programs in advance helps students find the best fit for their interests. It’s also essential to be mindful of application deadlines to avoid missing out on preferred options.

Visa And Residence Permit
Non-European Union students require a student visa and must apply for a residence permit upon arrival in Germany.

Health Insurance 
Health insurance is mandatory in Germany. Fortunately, there are affordable public health insurance options specifically for students.

Cultural Adaptation
Understanding German cultural values, such as punctuality and privacy, can make it easier to adapt and integrate socially. 

Part-Time Work  
Many students work part-time to support their expenses, but balancing work with studies is essential to avoid academic strain.

Networking And Social Integration
Participating in clubs and university events aids social integration and helps students build a valuable network.
