Study In Europe

Study In Germany

Overview

Each year more than 25,000 international students choose Germany for study and research. They are attracted by international study programmes and excellent research opportunities. In addition, studying in Germany means being part of an international, high qualified community.
Continuously the home of influential and successful writers, artists, philosophers, musicians, scientists, engineers and sportspeople, few countries have had as much impact on the world as Das Land der Dichter und Denker (‘The Land of Poets and Thinkers’), and an education in Germany places you right in the center of this veritable nerve center of economy, industry and culture.

Education System

Germany’s institutions of higher education are internationally accredited – according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), 6 of the top 100 and 18 of the top 200 universities in the world are German. Studying here will place you among some of the oldest and most established universities in the world, as well as some of the newest and most innovative.
Public and Private Universities: There are 400 public universities in Germany, which are attended by 95% of the university student population. These institutions are state funded, meaning that students do not pay tuition fees (apart from a small administrative cost at the start of each semester). There are also around 120 private institutions which do not receive government funding and are not state regulated, meaning that they set their own tuition fees.
The Bologna System Higher education in Germany recently converted to the three-tier degree system of the European Higher Education Area established under the Bologna System. Rather than the old one-tier ‘long’ programs, Germany now offers undergraduate courses which result in a Bachelor’s degree, and postgraduate courses which result in a Master’s or PhD (Doctorate). This system is designed to be the same throughout Europe, facilitating international educational mobility and enhancing flexibility in educational objectives.
Undergraduate Education: The German higher education system differentiates between different types of universities for different disciplines:
(1) Technische Universität (Technical Schools) teach science, technology and engineering
(2) Fachhochschulen (Universities of Applied Science) specialize in business, engineering and social science
(3) Kunst- und Musikhochschulen are universities of fine and performing arts, music, media and communication
Postgraduate Education: Master’s degrees are taught courses (unlike PhDs which are research-oriented), and usually last two years (four semesters). They are either ‘consecutive’ or ‘non-consecutive’. Consecutive Master’s programs build upon an obtained Bachelor’s – they follow on from a related undergraduate degree and do not ordinarily charge fees. Non-consecutive programs focus on a more specialized area of study. These courses may charge fees, and are more likely to require professional or practical experience on top of an undergraduate degree.

Tuition Fee & Study Cost

Public universities As of 2014 German universities are fully funded by the German government, meaning that neither home nor international students pay tuition fees. Students need only to pay a fee of around 60-200 EUR per semester for administrative, travel and food facilities. This has greatly increased Germany’s population as a destination for studying abroad – it is now the world’s third leading destination for international study.
Private universities: Private institutions do not receive subsidization from the government and are therefore dependent on tuition fees. These are not regulated by the government and can cost up to 20,000 EUR per year. This fluctuates depending on institution of study and chosen degree program – engineering or business degrees are usually higher in cost than social sciences, for instance.
Master’s programs: Master’s courses in Germany are either ‘consecutive’, meaning that they follow directly on from a related Bachelor’s degree, or ‘non-consecutive’, meaning that they are standalone courses in a more specialized area. Consecutive courses are usually free of charge in Germany for home, EU and international students. Non-consecutive Master’s courses can cost up to around 5000 EUR per year for public universities, and up to 30,000 EUR per year for private universities.
PhD programs: For the first six semesters of study, tuition fees do not apply for Doctorate programs at public universities. However, as with Master’s and Bachelor’s options, PhD students are required to make a contribution of no more than 300 EUR per semester.
Scholarships: For students who struggle to meet the financial criteria for their chosen degree, the Federal Student Financial Aid Program (Bundesausbildungsforderungsgesetz or BAföG) can be accessed by both German nationals and EU students, as well as international students under some circumstances. Half of this takes the form of a state-grant and the other half is an interest-free loan that is gradually paid back.

Visa Information

Non-EU citizens will require a visa to study in Germany. It is important that you do not enter the country on a student visa, as this cannot be converted into a student one, but rather consult the options below to deem which is suitable for you:
Types of Visa
(1) Student applicant visa (Visum zur Studienbewerbung) – If you have not yet received an offer from a Germany university, but wish to enter the country to conduct the application process, attend open days etc, then this is the visa for you. It grants a stay of three months with the possibility of extending it to a maximum of six months. If you are admitted to an institution during this period, you can apply for a student visa whilst still in the country.
(2) Student visa (Visum zur Studienbewerbung) – If you have already been admitted to a German university, then you will need to apply for a student visa. This is also valid for three months, however if your duration of study exceeds this time then you can extend the visa at the Alien Registration Office in Germany.
Residence permits: Unlike other European countries where the visa entails a residence permit, Germany requires non-EU students to apply for this separately. If your application is approved, you will receive a two-year residence permit. This can be extended for a maximum period of three years to seek employment in the field that you studied (you must apply for this extension before the permit expires). You will need to obtain a residence permit within the first three months of arriving in Germany, and can do so at your local Alien Registration Office. The documentation required for a residence permit includes:

• Confirmation of registration from the Resident’s Registration Office
• Confirmation that you have health insurance
• Your student ID from your German university
• A valid passport and your student visa
• You may also be asked to present a certificate of health and/or a tenancy agreement, if applicable
• There will also be a residence permit fee

Career Prospects

Germany has the fourth largest economy in the world (after the US, China and Japan) and the largest economy of any European Union (EU) country. It also has the biggest population of any EU member state and is a major industrial power; it is one of the world's biggest and most technologically advanced producers of machinery, vehicles and chemicals. All of this is supported by a highly skilled workforce. There are plenty of opportunities for UK graduates to experience life in Germany, whether by starting or developing their careers in the country, teaching English, or taking part in a volunteering programme or study scheme.
The single most successful German industry is mechanical engineering, which is dominated by small rather than large companies. Only around 3% of the German companies working in this sector have more than 1,000 employees. Electrical engineering, automotive manufacturing and the chemical industry are also crucially important to the strength of the German economy.
Medical equipment and pharmaceutical goods are key exports, as are electrical goods, which range from commercial lighting to nanotechnology products and household appliances. Germany has also invested heavily in green energy and related technology, especially solar and wind energy.

Work Rights

There are many considerations that affect a student’s decision to choose a country. While some look for top colleges, some look for extensive programs and research options and many looks for post-study work options in the country. Some do it for earning a little extra on the side to enjoy their stay, some for having something better to do and some others to get a start to their professional careers. Whatever be the reason, part-time study options are a great factor in the decision-making process. So what is the verdict on Germany?
Before we explore the same in some depth, we must mention that there are two aspects to part-time work. One being the eligibility and laws relevant to part-time work options for international students and second would be the more obvious – the choices available. Let’s look at them individually.
Laws for Student Part-time jobs
As an international student, you are allowed to take up part-time employment along with your studies while in Germany. Here are a few things you need to keep in mind though.

• You can work for a total of 120 full or 240 half days in a year as a student. This, however, might vary from high employment regions to low employment regions. Simply put, if your university is in a place which is in a city which has high unemployment rates, or requires more manpower, you might just get a work permit of more than 120 days.
• Usually, as per university norms, a student would not be allowed to work for more than 20 hours in a week during term. Students, however, can take up full-time employment during vacations.
• A work permit from the "Agentur für Arbeit" (Federal Employment Agency) and the foreigners' authority is required. The permit would have details of the maximum limit of work a student can take up.
• If you are enrolled in a preparatory course or a language course, the regulations are tighter. As such, you are allowed only to work during the lecture-free periods and only with explicit permission to do so from the foreign authority.
• Taxation is another concern. A student earning less than 450 euros a month need not pay any taxes/ social security contribution. Also, if you work for less than 50 continuous days over a period of one year, you are exempt as well.
• Working for more than 20 hours a week is generally not advised. Not only is it against most university rules, working more than this limit would require you to pay health insurance, unemployment as well as nursing care insurance.
• Compliance with the Federal Laws is extremely important. If you are found to be flouting them, you can find yourself being expelled from the country. So, keep the checks in place, conform to the rules and have your permit in place.
• When it comes to working within the University, though, the working hours and wages are completed differently. In fact, they are far better and you can work for long hours as well. Getting a job in the University, however, might not be as easy.

The system also incorporates aspects of the American higher education system and thus simplifies comparison. The Bologna System uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) to measure the amount of higher education credits.
Bologna system, and thus the higher education system of Lithuania, follows the Bachelor/Master system:

Bachelor's Degree: 3 years (180 ECTS credits) towards a professional bachelor or an academic bachelor. Offers students core teaching in the chosen discipline, as well as a broad general education. The academic bachelor gives access to master's studies.

Master's Degree: 1 or 2 years (60 or 120 ECTS credits). Provides specialized content whilst allowing for further development of the scientific research process6

After obtaining a Master's degree, students can choose to pursue research projects leading to a Doctorate degree (PhD). PhD's are only awarded by Universities.
The Bologna System also uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) to measure higher education credits.

Study In Italy

Overview

Some of the first universities in Europe were founded in Italy during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The University of Bologna, founded in 1088, is recognized as the oldest university to still operate. Today, Italy is the home of many prestigious institutions of higher education. Many of Italy’s institutions perform well in the QS World University Rankings, appearing in the top 200 each year.
Students undertaking an education in Italy gain valuable knowledge not only within the classroom, but also through everyday life in this dynamic, vibrant and incredible country.If you are ready for an exciting experience of meeting new people, exploring wonderful places, and being surrounded by art, history and culture, then this guide is for you. From the winding canals of Venice to the ancient splendors of Rome; the local farmers markets to the fancy shopping streets of Milan, students undertaking an education in Italy can experience a wide variety of novelties unlike anywhere else in the world.

Education System

Italian universities are among the oldest universities in the world. As part of the education system in Italy, most teaching takes place in large lecture halls, depending on the specific course. Students are also expected to complete a considerable amount of self-study hours outside the classroom in order to prepare for examinations.
Higher education examinations are held after the teaching period and are mainly oral, although some courses in Italy also require written tests. Each examination is offered on several dates from which students can choose. Students are also entitled to turn down a mark and re-take the examination if they are not satisfied with their first result.
The academic year is made up of two semesters. The first semester starts in September/October and ends in January/February. The second semester starts in February and ends in July. The actual start and finish dates of degree programs in Italy vary in every university, but each academic semester lasts for roughly 20 weeks, made up of a 14-week teaching period and a 6-week examination period.
Types of schools
Based on the Bologna Process, education system in Italy was reformed in 1990 to create a compatible system of education throughout Europe. Since then, Italy has implemented a 3-cycle system consisting of the following:

• First Cycle: Bachelor degrees (3 years) and single-cycle degrees
• Second Cycle: Master degrees (2 years) and 1st level vocational masters
• Third Cycle: Doctorate (5-6 years) specialization school and 2nd Level vocational masters

The education system in Italy is structured in a binary system consisting of two main articulations: the university sector and the non-university sector.

UNIVERSITY SECTOR
The university sector is made up of 89 university institutions classified within the following categories:

• 58 state universities – public entities endowed with scientific, teaching, managerial, financial and bookkeeping autonomy
• 17 non-state universities – legally recognized by the state
• 2 universities for foreigners – specialized in teaching/ research for development of Italian language, literature, culture
• 6 higher education schools – specialized in postgraduate university studies
• 6 telematic universities

NON-UNIVERSITY SECTOR
The non-university sector includes four education typologies and their education institutions:

• Higher schools of design: polytechnics for the arts, academies of fine arts, national academies, higher institutes or applied arts, higher institutes for musical & choreographic studies
• Higher integrated education (FIS): programs of higher technical education & training (IFTS)
• Higher education in language mediation: education institutions for language mediators
• Specific fields (e.g. archiving, military studies, restoration)

Tuition Fee & Study Cost

Tuition Fees in Italy are generally lower than in other countries in Europe. Institutions of higher education in Italy establish their own tuition fees, but in the case of university education, there is a legal minimum cost for enrollment and a maximum cost for student contributions, which cannot exceed 20% of state funding. Admission to "master universitari" and other specialized degree courses in Italy may have much higher tuition fees. Doctoral students who receive university grants do not pay tuition fees, but non-grant holders are required to pay the tuition fees of their university.

Public Universities: Average tuition fees for a higher education in Italy are between €850-1,000 per year, depending on the university and program of study.
Private universities: Private universities in Italy are much more expensive and the majority of them have the same tuition fees for both EU and non-EU students.
Funding and Scholarships : There are many funding and scholarships that students undertaking an education in Italy can apply for. Some scholarships not only cover tuition fees but living costs as well. Scholarships and funding are often limited and are given to the students based on merit, after an assessment of their previous grades.
Living costs in Italy : The overall living costs for students in Italy range between 300-500 Euros/month.This includes: accommodation, food costs, public transportation, local travel and/or entertainment.

Visa Information

Student visas in Italy are issued by Italian Embassies and consular posts in a student's country of origin or permanent residence.
European Union (EU) students can enter Italy with a valid passport or an ID card and are entitled to complete a degree in Italy without a visa for as long as they wish. These students must, however, register with the Questura (police station), to obtain residence permit.
Non-EU students are required to obtain a student visa prior entering Italy. Visa types
There are two types of student visas in Italy, depending on the duration of the study program.

• Visa type C: Short-stay visa or travel visa valid for one or more entries and for a period not exceeding 90 days
• Visa type D: Long-stay visa valid for more than 90 days

Always start these procedures well in advance of the intended date of entry as the process time can be lengthy. The procedures for student visas in Italy are subject to change, so it is worthwhile to contact the Italian Embassy for information to confirm current visa requirements.

Career Prospects

While Italy has the eighth largest economy in the world according to the 2018 International Monetary Fund, it is still feeling the effects of the global financial crisis and has the second highest level of public debt in Europe (after Greece).
The majority of the country's 60 million inhabitants reside in the north, and ambitious graduates are more likely to find work in large northern towns and cities.
The contrast between the north and the south is quite stark - northern Italy is more industrialized and developed and known for its abundance of private companies, while the south relies heavily on agriculture and farming. Unemployment in the southern regions is as high as 29%.
As millions of travelers flock to Italy every year to see its many famous sights, casual work and temporary contracts in the tourism industry are much easier to find than permanent employment in other sectors.

• products
• Engineering
• Insurance
• Telecommunications

Study In Norway

Overview

Despite being a small country Norwegian universities and university colleges deliver quality education which also international exchange and degree seeking students benefit from. Studying in Norway will improve your career possibilities, both at home and abroad.
There are cities and villages all along the beaches, fjords, mountaintops and islands of the Norwegian coast. In the many fishing villages you can get a real taste of the countries culture and attempt sea fishing yourself, for both relaxation and excitement. Eagle and whale safaris bring you closer to the local wildlife and in the winter you can even swim with killer whales.
The Nobel Prize of peace is awarded in Norway every year, and the country has a long history of acting as a peace negotiator. Norway is today one of the riches and safest communities in the world, but Norway is also the country which gives the highest proportion of its gross national product in aid.

Education System

The higher education system in Norway is offered at three different types of institutions:

• Universities: Any college offering at least five master programs and four doctoral programs can title themselves a university
• University Colleges: are responsible for regional education of primarily bachelor level education within the fields of nursing, teaching, business management, engineering and information technology, though most colleges also offer a number of other educations as well
• Private University Colleges: The private institutions offer primarily programs and courses within popular fields of study where the number of public places is limited or offering accelerated courses

The Bologna System
The Norwegian system of Education is regulated by the Bologna declaration. The Bologna process was initiated in 1999 when the Ministers of Education from 29 European countries signed the Bologna declaration in the Italian city of Bologna. The purpose of the process is to create educational standards for academic degrees and quality assurance, in order to make it easier for students to move from one European country to another and to improve the overall quality of European higher education.
The system also incorporates aspects of the American higher education system and thus simplifies comparison. The Bologna System uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) to measure the amount of higher education credits.
The Bologna system, and thus the higher education system of Norway, follows the Bachelor/Master system: Bachelor degrees : Three years (180 ECTS credits) towards a professional bachelor or an academic bachelor. Offers students core teaching in the chosen discipline, as well as a broad general education. The academic bachelor gives access to master studies.
Master degrees : One or two years (60 or 120 ECTS credits). Provides specialized content whilst allowing for further development of the scientific research process. After obtaining a Master degree, students can choose to pursue research projects leading to a Doctorate degree (PhD). PhD's are only awarded by Universities.
The Bologna System also uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) to measure higher education credits.

Tuition Fee & Study Cost

Norway uses the Norwegian Krone (NOK) as its currency.
Public universities in Norway do not charge tuition fees even for international students. Depending on where you choose to study, you may be required to pay a small fee each semester, but that is normally between NOK 300 and NOK 600. This semester fee gets you membership to the student union, access to health services, counselling and sports facilities as well as an official student card. Your student card can reduce your fees on public transport and give you a discount for museums and art galleries. There are some courses at public institutions that you may have to pay for, but these are rare, and tend to be at postgraduate level. If you choose to study at a private institution, you will be required to pay tuition fees, and these will vary at each institution. There are some scholarships available for EU/EEA students and international students, make sure to check with your chosen institution about your eligibility.
Your living costs will depend on where you choose to live in Norway. The bigger cities will be more expensive than the smaller cities and towns. You may be able to apply to the Norwegian State Education Loan Fund for a grant to help you cover your costs. On average, you should budget for between NOK 9,500 and NOK 20,000 per month. Students from an EU/EEA country can get part-time work without any permission. Students from anywhere else will be required to apply for a work permit before you can get part-time work. No matter where you are from, you are permitted to work up to 20 hours per week during term time, and full-time during the holidays.

Visa Information

All students wishing to study at a Norwegian institution will need to obtain a visa, which comes in the form of a student residence permit. If you are from an EEA country, you do not need to apply for a residence permit before you arrive in Norway, but will need to do so within three months of your arrival. If you are from any other country, you will need to apply for a residence permit before you travel to Norway. This can be done at the Norwegian embassy or consulate in your home country. More information regarding student residence permits can be found on the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) website.
Another thing that students need to consider is health insurance. If you are from a Nordic country, you will become a member of the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme if you are registered in the National Population Register. If you are from a Nordic country but are not registered, you are still entitled to health services under the National Insurance Act, and will not need an EHIC card. If you are from an EU/EEA country or Switzerland, you will not become a member of the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme, but will be able to access emergency and necessary healthcare so long as you have an EHIC card. If your country does not entitle you to an EHIC card, you will need to ensure you have health insurance for the duration of your stay. If you are from any other country, you will be automatically registered with the Norwegian National Health Insurance Scheme as long as your stay is one year or more. If you will not be in Norway for more than a year, you will need to make sure you have a valid health insurance policy. Some institutions have certain healthcare services on campus, to which you will have free access when you pay your semester fee. Check with your institution to determine if this is applicable to you.

Career Prospects

There are a couple of things that you can do to increase your chances of finding work in Norway. The first is learning the Norwegian language. While English is widely spoken, Norwegian is used in many organizations. Getting to grips with the language will open a variety of opportunities and will also help you to settle into your new home.
The second is to network. Job opportunities are often advertised through word of mouth and gained by knowing the right people. Taking on summer, temporary or part-time work is great way to build contacts and expand your professional network.
Norway is a country of great natural beauty and outside of working hours you'll be free to explore the mountains, forests and fjords. You'll have the best of both worlds, with open countrysides and metropolitan cities.
The services sector forms a large part of the Norwegian economy and major industries include:

Work Rights

Many international students hold part-time jobs when studying in Norway. It is a good way to learn and practice your Norwegian, and increase your budget. You should, however, be aware that there are restrictions on how much you can work beside being a full time student.
Generally, a student residence permit does not cover the right to take employment in Norway. However, if you are granted a study permit, you are automatically also granted permission to work part-time.

• EU/EEA students do not need a work permit, and can work in Norway after they have registered with the police.
• Non-EU/EEA students can work 20 hours per week during their first year of study. Beware that when renewing the

study permit the part-time work permit is not automatically renewed. To renew the work permit the students have to document satisfactory progress in their studies. Please consult your institution.
