Report by Mahamood Jamil
(Germany)
Dear
Fellows, assalam-o-alaikum,
My name is Mahmood Jamil and currently I
am studying for my master's in "Information and communication systems"
at technical university of Hamburg, Germany. I want to share some
information with you concerning tuition-free studies in
Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
Many prestigious universities
of these countries have started to offer
degrees, in which the
medium of instruction is in English. There is NO
tuition fees charged for these degree courses. I think this is the
best
opportunity for Pakistani students, who haven’t enough
resources to pursue their further studies in UK or U.S.A. Unfortunately,
due to lack of
information, very few Pakistani students are getting
their share from this
golden
opportunity.
NOTE: Students are
also allowed to WORK part-time on or off the campus and can easily
manage their living expenses.
WHY SHOULD ONE CONSIDER
TAKING A COURSE IN GERMANY?
There are a great number of
reasons why students from Pakistan should
consider the possibility
of taking a course in a German university.
1)
Study in German is FREE of charge, i.e. students just to take care of
their living expenses and accommodation, which should amount to
approx. 1000 German Marks.
2) More and more
universities are offering MSc degree courses
in English language as
they have realized that it is extraordinary essential
to adopt
English as the teaching language if they wish to attract
international students.
3) Some universities
are even offering BSc courses
with English as the medium of
instruction. 4) The standard of teaching and
research in German
universities is ranked among one of the best institutions in the world.
Let me repeat that IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LEARN/SPEAK
GERMAN for the purpose of study in most
universities.
HOW DO I
GET IN CONTACT WITH THESE UNIVERSITIES?
The
easiest way of obtaining basic information is of course via the
Internet. I will try to provide Internet addresses of some
universities
offering these courses. One could also request
information from the German embassy and consulates in Pakistan to
provide further information.
