He is absolutely right about the German language skills. This is not negotiable in Germany. You absolutely cannot expect to get ahead without a good knowledge, both active and passive, of the language no matter how highly qualified you are. This includes people with German PhDs. Living in Germany without any command of the language is like trying to swim without arms or legs. It just doesn't work.

Actually The language requirement is usually C1 for University programs

I'd like to open a parenthesis here. Even though I passed the C1 exam, I still feel like a caveman when I speak German. So I just speak English in the classes and all my professors are okay with this ( I study Data Science). And they allow me to write the exams in English since they see my effort. I also know that in CS faculty in KIT, students are also allowed to write their exams in English. So if you are still not comfortable with your German, just ask your professors if you can write the exam in English.

YOU ANSWER every single question i had about that thanks a lot

A good video as always Max and I've used your approach for another country similar to Germany - Sweden. This should be clearly explained by university admissions team when it comes to employment. I've applied to a Swedish public university with English and Swedish taught courses, Although my master's interaction design course is in English for their free standing courses I took Swedish A1 level instead of Presentation English & Academic Critical Reading since I already have an IELTS Academic score of 6.5 and a GRE General score of 290 and they indicate I have basic grasp of Academic English & Critical Thinking.

Could you please create a video on freelancing as a student in Germany?

this channel is great for sending it to my japanese friends who are going or planing on doing an exchange year in germany. I myself am an german exchange student in japan right now, I feel like some japanese I met are already very good in german, especially for the short time they studying it. the pronunciation is also above average, it is strange to me but somehow they have sometimes an easier time than pronuncing english words even.

Could you please create a video on "How to Analyse Module Handbook" & "How to do Curriculum Analysis"?

Could you make a video on master degree as opposed to bachelors. The pros and cons of pursuing further studies in German and suff on that matter.

I believe the option of learning German while studying your degree in English is optimal. After all, we've been learning and interacting with english all our lives so it's better to spend time learning the material as opposed to understanding German in it.

Hi Max, when are you planning to make German language course? I’m 9th grade(10th from September) and I plan to study in Germany. I think It would be very good If you had A1-A2 courses at least. Thank you Max, you encourage a lot of people all around the world👍

great video, keep going!

I dont think employers care if the degree is in english they care if you speak german or not.

When are you planning to start the german A1-A2 course Max?

Once again a much needed point elaborated,,thanks Lian

Hey Max! I am loving your videos so much, they are so helpful. I am thinking about applying next year to study in Germany. I am currently 31 YO and working real hard to save money in order to be able to make it. I would much appreciate it if you could make a video about health insurance and the options as an international student, how to contract it and so on. Cheers!

Wenn ich mich noch an den ersten Tag erinnere , wer hätte geglaubt, dass ich deutsch lernen werde. Am Anfang dachte ich , ich sollte nur auf Englisch studieren, danach sagte meine große Schwester mir , ich solle Deutsch lernen, wenn ich nicht an einer englischen Universität angenommen werde, könnte ich auf deutsch studieren. Als ich begann, deutsch zu erlernen, war es sehr sehr schwer, meine Noten im A1 Niveau waren schlecht. Manchmal fragte ich mich, ob ich mit meinem Deutschlernen aufhören sollte, dann fiel mir ein ,wenn ich jetzt aufhöre , werde ich den Eindruck haben, dass ich keine genüge Anstrengungen dafür gemacht habe. Jetzt beende ich schon mit dem C1.1 Niveau . " Niemals aufhören!!!!!!!!!!" ... Asta ( von Black Clover ) . Man kann schneller deutsch lernen als du denkst Max . Aber wir lernen nicht in der gleichen Geschwindigkeit , z.b ich habe 8≈9 Monaten genommen ,um auf von A1 bis C1.1 Niveau einzugehen. Die Leute sagen, es sei unrealistisch, aber ihrer Meinung nach kommt nicht infrage.

Thank you for making this!

I always look forward to your videos. They’re so insightful.

Super.. very informative video

Thaaaanks. So helpful❤❤

I hope a lot more prospective students get to see this video! It seems to be obvious but there's a lot of false information and expectations out there.

Max, if possible then pls provide a video on partime from home and that too from youtube , freelancing and content writing like mediumand stuff. video on basically how to earn from them on student visa...

Very informative video😊😊

Thank you so much Max❤️❤️

Great video! As always

I got rejected from 9 universities, I'm from a design background. Universities are mass rejecting students this year! Shall I learn german for a year and reapply next year? For german thaught program?

Bro don't forget about elective modules even for English language taught programs some of them are bilingual i.e English and German

Make a video of your apartment tour and share your editing and lightning for videos

Hey max would love to see a video from you about bachelors specially

Thanks max yoko for making this video on demand ❤❤❤

Thank you so much ❤Max ❤❤

Studying a bachelor in international business information systems here in Baden-Württemberg. No class restrictions and purely English 😁

This was an interesting perspective. I'm German, but I will be studying Sustainable Agriculture at HSRW in Germany, which will be in English. I quit my first degree program Agrarbiologie in March this year, because I hated the teaching style and even though German is one of my mother tongues, I find studying in English to be easier and frankly just a lot more fun. You have better access to things like research papers, as most of them are, in fact, written in English. I also don't really plan to live here my whole life, even though I do really like Germany. However, I do agree that living in Germany, it would be stupid not to speak at least some level of German. You will be having a hard time finding even a part-time job, let alone an actual full-time job. And don't even get me started on internships. If you do decide to come here as an international student to study in English, I strongly encourage you to not only hang out with fellow internationals. Try intermingling with Germans and force yourself to speak German with them. Consume content in German, even if it is the German dub of some anime, show, or movie. Immersion is the best way to pick up a language.

Thanks a lot I have been on the fence about this especially since the english option are easy Also the rest of your videos are very helpful

Thanks Max 🎉

Hello, I got admission letter from IU Berlin for MBA. I am planning to come to Berlin in September. How are the part-time opportunities in Berlin right now and how about the job opportunities in Germany after one year when I complete my Masters? Pls also share your reviews about the university if you have any comment. I saw that the university has good ranking in Germany amongst private universities. My second option is UEAS Berlin!

great video

In meiner Meinung Deutsch macht Masterstudiengang nicht nur schwerig, sondern gibt es uns mehr möglichkeiten beim Jobmarkt.

Could You upload a video on how to get into studentkollege for international students? This is a kind request please

Hello Max. I am having trouble to get "Study in Germany" guidebook. How can I get it?

Hi Max, your videos are really beneficial. Thanks for sharing your information with us. I am going to study master program in Germany soon. However, I am afraid of not able to adapt German education system. Are there any opportunity that I can study or analyze German education system on a website or app?

Hi Max, can studying in a English taught university while simultaneously learning german to achieve B2/C1 level help land better opportunities even if the degree u had is in English taught program?

Max I just arrived in Germany few days ago and i have been walking around and asking other students how the school is when it comes with the difference between university and fachhoschule, they say in fachhoschule you still encounter lots of theory. Max is this true ?

About the part you mentioned about job opportunities, when someone study English taught but know good German and its German level is sufficient it is still okay right ? Will have same opportunities as a German taught student?

hey pls share a video on resources and syllabi for first year student ? just want to get a head start

Hey, Max. This might be off topic, but are there any computer science or coding courses that you recommend. I started with the CS50P course and I seem to struggle a little. I was mainly focusing on free courses that were providing certificates so I can put it on my CV and have a higher chance to get picked.

Hello Max thank you for all the insightful informations in your videos. I have a question.

Hallo Max und anderen deutschen Freunde, ich komme aus Taiwan und habe schon Deutsch bis B2/C1 gelernt (habe TestDaF im Februar bestanden). Möchte etwas über Informatik in Deutschland studieren und habe jetzt zwei Optionen: es gibt Information Engineering von TUM, der auf Englisch unterrichtet, und Informatik von anderen Universitäten (zBs. Rwth Aachen oder Uni des Saarlandes), die auf Deutsch oder Deutsch und Englisch unterrichten. Welche ist euren Meinungen nach besser? Ich kann auf Deutsch in den anderen Universitäten studieren, und ich weiß dass die Sprachkenntnisse ein großer Vorteil im Arbeitsmarkt ist; aber ich fühle dass der Abschluss der TUM anerkannter ist, und während mein Studium kann ich auch mein Deutsch verbessern. Deshalb bin ich ein bisschen durcheinander. Könnte ihr mir ein paar Vorschläge geben? Vielen Dank!

Honestly Germany should be more flexible with the language of they want to attract taken. It makes no sense to go to Germany where you'll make less and get taxed more and also have to learn a difficult language when people can just go to any anglosphere country where it'll be easier to integrate and they'll make more. Also even if you do learn German why bother going to Germany when you'll be better off in Switzerland. Germany is just not as attractive as it thinks it is

Most Electrical Engineering jobs tend to prefer English speakers.
