Studying and working in Germany. A student guide

Book abstract:

This guide deals with the important stuff for students that they will not find in Rough Guides or Lonely Planets. Essential things to do before you pack, which forms you fill in and how, what you can do on-line, registration and enrolment - the things that get you in line are all given practical treatment. Alternatives to full time study and the question of working in Germany are covered, and chapter seven prepares students for leaving Germany. The final chapter gives detailed descriptions of over seventy institutions of higher education across Germany, and all extremely user friendly for the first time visitor. The appendices provide detailed guides on application forms for a place at a German university, accommodation, a sample CV and a list of useful addresses.

The guide is essential reading for students of German Studies, European Studies and Business Studies with German or anyone planning to study or work in Germany.
