1. Almost free university education: this is unique in developed countries. All German institutions of higher learning are open to China students free of charge. They can apply directly and choose their own major without having to take an exam. Set up the credit system, master the study time by yourself, and finish your studies calmly. This undoubtedly reduces the huge economic burden and mental stress of international students. Although the federal states began to collect tuition fees in succession in 2005, each semester is only 300 ~ 700 euros, and the fees charged for international students and German students are the same. Compared with the tuition fees of several hundred thousand yuan in Commonwealth countries, studying in Germany is an economic choice.
Second, the cost of living is low: the German government allows college students to work tax-free, and has set a protective minimum remuneration standard (not less than 7.5 euros per hour). Therefore, except for the self-insurance fund for studying in Germany, which is about 77 16 euros, the living expenses of all other academic years can be solved by working.
Third, universities shorten the academic system: many universities in Germany have set up international courses that are very suitable for international students to choose: three years to get a bachelor's degree and two years to get a master's degree; There is no bachelor's degree in traditional courses, and the master's degree is awarded directly after graduation. In recent years, some famous German universities, such as Kiel University, send professors to China to select students every March and April. Studying in Germany as an undergraduate can save the trouble of domestic postgraduate entrance examination and directly realize the goal of "undergraduate to graduate".
Fourth, the gold content of degrees and academic qualifications is second to none: Germany spent only a few decades on the ruins after the war, and its per capita GNP became the first in the world, relying on its traditional strong scientific, technological and educational strength. The high quality of science and technology education in Germany has been recognized all over the world.
5. Bright academic prospects and broad development space: the good and stable political, economic and cultural relations between China and Germany make German enterprises full of confidence in investing in China. In recent years, in addition to Siemens, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other companies, many German companies have flooded into China every year. Their biggest headache is that they don't understand the culture of China and lack the corresponding talents, so there are many advertisements for recruiting China students in German Chinese newspapers. It is a fixed employment trend for newly graduated international students to go to China or Southeast Asia to represent German companies, and it is not uncommon for international students to enter the top management of multinational companies. Not to mention the prospect of returning to China for employment.
Advantages of studying in France:
First, the French are enthusiastic and never indifferent to foreign students.
Second, the French government's policy towards international students is the same as that of French students. As long as students, whether France or any country are equal, equality is mainly manifested in two aspects. One is learning and academic aspects. We have classes with French students on admission and graduation certificates. We don't have China classes, China diplomas or North Africa classes. They are all mixed together without any special treatment.
Third, the cost of living in France is still relatively low (this advantage is similar to that in Germany). The low price is not only due to the deliberate low price of China students and foreign students, but also because most French universities are public, which means the tuition fees are very low. Tuition and registration fees in public schools are about 5,000 yuan a year, while those in private schools are not much higher. Generally, for example, the school of business administration is also 50 thousand, 60 thousand and 70 thousand a year. This is academic, because it is public, and the state finances directly allocate funds. The French all pay 5,000 yuan, and the students in China also pay 5,000 yuan a year. There are many preferential treatments for student status in life. First of all, housing is subsidized by the state. State subsidies can subsidize up to 50% of your rent. Of course, the highest is the peak. You can't say to rent 20,000 yuan, subsidize 50% and pay 10000. The upper limit is that you can get more than 1, 000 yuan a month. I use RMB. To rent a house of 3,000 yuan, you only need to pay 1.500 yuan, and 1.500 yuan is a state subsidy. There are some student dormitories, only 1500 RMB a month. The less the rent, the less the subsidy, and the subsidy is 60 euros (600 RMB). The actual expenditure is RMB in 900 yuan, so the cost is relatively low. In addition to the state rent subsidies, there are others, such as public transportation, where students are basically half-price, subway, train and public transportation. There is also a student canteen, which is actually half price. The other half of the food in the student canteen is given by the state. There is also a subsidy for watching movies, not every day. (Super subsidy)
Fourth, adopt educational integration. Three-year undergraduate course, five-year master's degree and eight-year doctor's degree. Credit is common in Europe.
5. French universities pay special attention to professionalism. Professionalism is manifested in two aspects: first, the teaching content is often formulated by business people. In many schools, especially professional colleges, business schools and engineering schools, 90% of their teachers are managers and presidents from the business sector. During the study period, the internship requirements are relatively high, and they are all part of the academic system, at least half a year's internship. This internship is real, not symbolic. I really want to go to an enterprise internship. Moreover, some students get higher salaries during their internships. Many students regard internship as a springboard to find a job. If they perform well in the internship process and are satisfied with themselves, they have already agreed with their boss that they can work in the internship place after graduation, which is very professional.
6. Being able to understand some cultural characteristics and ideas of France (also an advantage). Through studying abroad for several years, through contact with local residents and classmates, we should know some cultural characteristics of this country and understand its cultural values and world outlook. In fact, the teaching content and teaching methods of a university are also the epitome of a country's culture and ideological values. By studying and studying there, you actually know the culture, history, world outlook and values there, as well as the methodology of solving and analyzing problems. This method still has its unique characteristics in France. Although France is a small country, as far as culture is concerned, it is a big country. For example, there are many philosophers, humanists and mathematicians in its history. For example, there is a mathematician and philosopher named Descartes, who is very famous and has influenced contemporary science and humanistic thought. Descartes has a set of "Descartes mode of thinking". For example, an American goes to France to study and writes an article, which is different from that written by the French. Americans are well aware of the characteristics of French thinking, and there is a way called "Cartesian thinking mode", which is rational, logical, very logical and, on the whole, very accurate. And the French worldview. For example, the French believe that he has unique values about the world, history and social development. This kind of values may not be completely accepted, but I think it must have its positive side, at least it can be learned and understood.
These advantages are so much. You can compare them first and then consider which country is more suitable for you.
