My Journey as an International Student in Germany
Studying abroad is a transformative experience, and choosing to study at the University of Europe (UE) in Berlin has been one of the most life-changing decisions I've ever made. However, adapting to a new country comes with its challenges, and one of the most crucial aspects of living in Germany is learning the language.
The Importance of Learning German
Learning German is essential, whether it's for securing a job, navigating daily life, or simply connecting with people around you. I am currently learning the language, but I strongly recommend starting this process in your home country, like Bhutan, before arriving in Germany. This way, you'll be better prepared to handle the challenges of juggling job hunting, studying, and managing responsibilities all at once.
Opportunities After Graduation
One of the highlights of studying in Germany is the opportunities available after graduation. International students are granted an 18-month jobseeker visa, allowing them to explore career options and even travel to other European countries during this time. The transportation system here is not only well-organized and easy to use but also offers significant discounts for students, including unlimited travel within a specific region.
Tips for Future Students
If you're planning to study in Germany, it's important to start early. Apply to universities well in advance, prepare your financial proof for the visa, and secure accommodation ahead of time. These steps will ensure a smoother transition and help you focus on making the most of your experience.
Studying at UE Berlin has been an incredible journey filled with growth, learning, and new opportunities. From its vibrant academic environment to the cultural richness of Berlin, this experience has truly broadened my horizons. For anyone considering studying in Germany, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the leap!
