Question 1

I graduated in Computer Science (Bachelor). I want to ask about what is the difference between an university and a university of applied sciences in Germany, and which suits me best ?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is in the focus for more theoretical or practical orientation. Also, universities in general are older and bigger. You have to decide if you like more theoretical (research) or practical studies and which major you are interested in. Then have a look for the appropriate university.

Question 2

What is the difference between Computer Science and Computer Engineering in Germany?

Accepted Answer

Computer Science is broader and covers more software, user and application orientation, while Computer Engineering is the technical and electronics view.

Question 3

If I study at an University of Applied Sciences in Germany, can I get admission in Phd after M.Sc? I want to be a researcher. Should I avoid Universities of Applied Sciences?

Accepted Answer

Some Universities of Applied Sciences have cooperation with other universities to provide special PhD possibilities. In general technical universities are better equipped for doing research.

Question 4

Can I transfer my credits when I change to a German programme?

Accepted Answer

That is a single decision of each department. The departments decide on acknowledgment of other courses only after students have already enrolled at the university.

Question 5

Do German universities consider professional working experience when choosing candidates for the universities?

Accepted Answer

Universities pay attention to working experiences when students apply. During the studies there is no special recognition of that.

Question 6

Why choose Germany to study in as a foreign student?

Accepted Answer

Well, for starters, you’ll get first-class education (German universities are among the highest ranking in the world – right below a few of the American Ivy League and prestigious British universities) and a formal degree to show for it, that is recognized all over the world. On top of that, the guiding principle of the German higher education being ‘The Unity of Teaching and Research’ (also the cornerstone of what is referred to as the ‘dual education system’), there is strong emphasis on ‘apprenticeship’ and hands-on involvement on the part of the student, in both the practical application of a large part of what gets learned theoretically and in researching novel ways of problem-solving (at many universities and ‘Fachhochschulen’ access to cutting-edge research facilities is available). Finally, Germany is an important country and culture, so every international student stands to benefit greatly from familiarity with it (to say nothing of the ton of fun they are certain to have in the process).
