Studying in Germany generally requires a German test; And IELTS scores.
Matters needing attention in studying in Germany:
German public universities are free of tuition and have low living expenses, which is a big advantage.
In recent years, the German government has formulated more relaxed policies for international students and expanded the number of foreign students enrolled. The German Embassy simplified the visa application procedures and strengthened the examination of academic qualifications, paving the way for truly ambitious young students to study in Germany.
Simple visa: the visa procedure is simple, and you can guarantee to return to China to visit relatives at any time within ten years.
The guarantee fee is low: students only need to provide 6,800 euros (about 50,000 yuan) of self-insurance funds and deposit them in German banks. No deposit history is required and the procedure is simple. This money is still for international students.
Moreover, in Germany, you can also get a legal work visa, so the living expenses will be solved.
Matters needing attention in life and residence
1, insurance and medical care
This kind of question has been said a lot. First of all, you must buy insurance. Needless to say, I have a hundred reasons for you to buy insurance anyway, but you have no reason not to buy insurance. In fact, Germany's social security system is one of the things that Germans are most proud of. Now that you have the opportunity, you should enjoy it. This is not a place to save money at all. If there is an accident, maybe this fee can buy you a life insurance. And this is a necessary condition for extending the visa, which you absolutely can't afford.
German insurance is also purchased directly from insurance companies. The insurance purchased by international students generally includes medical treatment, personal accidental injury and third party liability insurance. Usually the price is 30 to 50 euros, which should be said to be extremely cheap, because even for treating a small cold, it may exceed this amount, and the third party liability insurance pays a maximum of 500,000 euros. Because Germans are afraid that foreigners can't compensate for such injuries, this last insurance is compulsory for foreigners. The specific scope of insurance and compensation must depend on the company's terms and specific claims, and cannot be explained one by one.
Generally, the following events and expenses can be settled and paid by insurance companies: diagnosis and treatment of diseases, infectious diseases, some prescription drugs, dentistry, surgery, hospitalization, ophthalmology, gynecology, pregnancy (excluding contraception and abortion, which will be described in detail later), accidental injury, accidental disability or even death, accidental injury, disability or death of a third person or property loss. So even if you accidentally damage the goods in the store or the property of the landlord, you can get compensation. If you travel or temporarily return to China, there will generally be a one-month guarantee period, that is to say, even if there is an accident in China this month, you can get a claim according to reason. Please note, however, that the specific amount and time of claim settlement are ultimately decided by the insurance company. If you think there is fraud or insufficient reasons, you can refuse to pay or only be responsible for a small part. If you are not satisfied, you can negotiate with the insurance company or solve it through legal channels.
German medical system is completely different from China, and it is a separate system. If you have a disease, you must see a doctor, as follows:
1), call a doctor.
Check the phone book, make an appointment by phone or go directly to a nearby clinic. This kind of consultation room is actually the main place for doctors to diagnose, which is a bit like private clinics in China and is generally set up in apartment buildings and office buildings. But there are different branches (usually doctors from several branches are in a clinic). If you want to see a doctor, you must contact the doctor's clinic. And generally can't see a doctor directly. You must make an appointment with Termin by phone. If you are really in a hurry, you can just queue up at the clinic. You can arrange to see a doctor as soon as the doctor is free. Clinics generally have very advanced equipment and can even perform some minor operations. And you can choose your doctor and time at will. Be sure to bring the insurance policy with you, and the doctor will clearly tell you which fees can be exempted (usually the diagnosis fee can be exempted). So don't be afraid to spend money and see a doctor. In fact, you know how much your insurance can be exempted before you see the medical certificate. If you are not satisfied, you can choose another clinic.
Take the prescription to the drugstore to buy medicine.
Clinics generally don't sell medicines, but there must be a drugstore nearby. Drugs are divided into prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs, and prescription drugs can only be purchased with a doctor's certificate. The doctor or pharmacy will clearly tell you what expenses your insurance can cover.
Hospital (Krankenhaus/Klinik).
If there is complicated comprehensive examination, operation, physical therapy or observation, hospitalization, first aid, etc. You should take the doctor's diagnosis to the hospital for treatment. The hospital is not responsible for the initial diagnosis. At first, I was puzzled. I told the doctor that this system was too complicated to be treated in time, but she said that this system is one of the advanced social systems in Germany, and patients can choose freely, which can protect the interests of patients to the maximum extent. The interests of all parts have little to do with each other, which can effectively supervise and prevent corruption and fraud. There will be special procedures in case of emergency, so don't worry (you can call the emergency center directly). I see many people are worried about their chronic diseases, fearing that they will fail the physical examination or that the insurance company will refuse to pay high medical expenses. As far as I know, chronic diseases can also be paid by insurance, but the insurance premium or payment ratio may change a little in the future. Many insurance companies can directly insure students who have just arrived in Germany without a medical certificate. However, if you want to change insurance companies, you will generally be required to show your previous insurance company's certificate, health certificate or self-assurance (to ensure that the insurance was not in the diagnosis and treatment period of any disease at that time, if so, it is best not to change insurance companies). Therefore, students who are worried about their health need not worry too much about insurance, at least there will be no trouble at first. German insurance is a real social security system. Even if you know that you have a chronic disease in the future, the insurance company will not refuse your request for insurance (especially renewal).
