Advice on choosing a degree program
Advice from students: How to choose the right subject for you
Don’t just find out about the degree program itself, take a look at the module handbook and speak to students already studying the degree program. This will give you a much clearer picture of everyday life as a student and often gets rid of any unnecessary worries.Alex
Try and get some information about scholarships before you start your degree (from the organizations for the promotion of young talent (Begabtenförderungswerke), for example) and low-cost accommodation (provided by the FDS foundation, for example). This will make starting your degree much easier.Hendrik
There are quite a few places that provide advice for specific subjects, such as the Center for Teacher Education for teaching degrees. Make sure you use them early on.Patrizia
