Popular Considerations
Can you still study in Germany with the Diploma qualification?
While the Diploma is not a recognised pre-university qualification in Germany, students from our University Preparation Programme will be accepted to study at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology.
In addition, 2 Austrian universities – University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and FH Kufstein Tirol both accepts Diploma students as well.
Do you want to study in English or in German?
Unlike other European countries, you can still enjoy tuition-free education in Germany and Austria if you choose to study in English.
We do strongly recommend that you be fluent in German to maximise your opportunities – more university options, more part-time job options, and much better chance to get a full-time job after you graduate.
Do you prefer on-the-job training over attending lectures?
The Dual Vocational Training will be a good fit for you. You can choose from Culinary, Hospitality, Nursing and Technical. You will graduate with a qualification which is recognised in Germany and other European countries.
Do you want the fastest option to start your Bachelor’s degree?
Consider the Austria Preparation Programme. It takes only 1 year to complete and it’s also recognised by the Deggendorf Institute of Technology in Germany.
Is budget an important consideration for you?
If you have very tight budget and still want to seek better opportunities in Germany, consider the Dual Vocational Training as it’s tuition-free, and you will receive allowance. So far, our students have been offered at least €1000 monthly, which is sufficient to cover their living expenses in Germany.
