Study Abroad in Germany: Scholarships in German for Nepalese students

Universities in German provides free courses while the colleges in the US and other countries have  heavy tuition  costs as the  universities in Germany are funded by the state.Here the students have to afford for their lively  expenses only. 


Every year,many Nepali students fly to many foreign countries for their further study and  work.At present we can see that US and Australia has become the mostly preferred destiny but it s necessary that we should think of other  alternatives as well.  We can take Germany as our better option keeping in mind that the number of students applying to this nation(European) are increasing over a period of time.This is proved by the study made by the association of consultancy in Kathmandu which helps and guides the students for further study in German.

The courses  provided in German are free, which is one of the best quality of education strategy  in German. Yes, it's true,it's free.Universities in German provides free courses while the colleges in the US and other countries have  heavy tuition  costs as the  universities in Germany are funded by the state.Here the students have to afford for their lively  expenses only.Its obvious that there may be some institute and colleges that may charge some fees as per the course and faculties but this may not be so expensive.Keeping all these aside students can also get chance to earn as they are given ninety days work permit in a year,so they can learn and earn as well.

It’s a fact that German universities—of which there are more than 380— which are internationally famous ,which are made renowned by their affiliation with scholars such as Humboldt, Einstein, Hegel and Marx.The new thing is that they have  introduced Bachelor and Masters programs of international level and credit systems,which makes the foreign students easy to get entry reducing the entry barriers.

Many job opportunities are found by the graduates and post graduates during the period of their academic session. It proves that there is a close relationship between the universities of German and various industries and many other research projects.There is a pool which helps the student to get into the world one day they will be in.The foreign students are usually given a time of additional 1 year to stay in German after completing the graduation.At this time they can get employed and earn which will increase their chances of getting PR in near future.

Foreign students who comes to German are informed that they have to further learn German language but in my view it was an additional chance for me to learn more about the language.It was not an obstacle for me but was a bonus and its not difficult if you can speak English fluently.Usually  it takes around  6 months to 1 year to learn German  language up to the level where you can be  able to go through your university course. There are few universities in German  which  have begun  their international faculties  in Management faculty, Engineering and Social Science in English language but leaving  theses, most courses are taught in German. 

Besides the academic chances, which I found to be beneficial ,Germany was  a beautiful destination to live in.German has developed a lot in the field of basic facilities.The place where I use to reside  was   beautiful  with all facilities needed for the functioning of a good society. 

Beside to look for many countries Nepali students should open their mind and look forward  that just because we should  need to learn language it is not difficult or impossible to study or live in country like German For me, the time period (10 years) I spent in German was  the most fruitful,meaningful and best  time I’ve ever spent  anywhere, and would like to suggest  Germany for any students willing to go abroad  for their further studies.
