Some of the most popular ways to move to Germany ✈️✈️ are either for work purposes or for student purposes.
For Student Purposes 👩🎓🧑🎓👨🎓:
For study purposes you can move to Germany for either Bachelors or for Masters studies.
Bachelors studies give more option and possibility for work during and after studies in Germany. However, you will have to study in German and have to do a year of bridge course the so called studienkolleg. For qualification to university, your high school grades are considered and having a studienkolleg helps to strengthen 💪💪your high school credentials. Finally, companies prefer to hire students from bachelors as they will have more time to get used to the company culture ☕️and will be able to work for a long time as a student.
Many students also move to Germany for Masters. One benefit of doing Masters in Germany is that there are courses offered in English as well. However, the opportunities are much more limited. This is also for work-student opportunities as many Masters program are not longer than 2 years, which means there will not be enough time to acclimatize students to the company culture.
For Work Purposes:
Ausbildung 👩💼🧑💼is the most popular method of moving to Germany. Ausbildung is an apprenticeship program where students will work part time 🕣while studying and get required training in specialized studies like nursing, automobile technician, etc. You will receive pay 💰 during your studies and will have almost guaranteed employment after completion of your studies. You will however need German to be able to qualify for apprenticeship.
Finally, very few people move to Germany on working VISA. One main reason is the remarkably high threshold for work VISA conditions. If you do not work in one of the fields with undersupply 🔬🧬🧪workforce (like STEM, engineering, medicine, doctors, etc.) it is difficult to get a working VISA.
Many people also come for language learning purposes, for Au Pair, for Preparatory schools, for internships, etc.
