Germany has also had the status of a center for the progression of culture and science since ancient times. To this day, connoisseurs of literature enjoy the works of Goethe, Schlegel and Schiller. And German scientists own many world discoveries. Today, higher education in Germany is considered one of the most prestigious. Students and applicants from all over the world come to study in this country. There are many among schoolchildren and Russians, as well as Ukrainians and Belarusians.
Germany is one of those European powers, in which higher education originated in the deep Middle Ages.
One of the old German universities Heidelberg
Many universities in Germany were founded at the end of the fourteenth century - when the new scientific thought was desperately arguing with theological treatises. The oldest universities in Germany are Cologne and Heidelberg. Both were founded in the eighties of the fourteenth century.
Both universities produced many famous scientists. Education here is classical, and ancient university traditions attract the attention of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians with their color.
Getting a prestigious education
Studying in Germany attracts many students and applicants with its prestige. Today, this state is in an honorable third place in terms of the number of students who came to study from all over the world. According to some reports, the number of foreigners studying in Germany reaches one hundred and fifty thousand. Also, the prices for education, compared to other European countries, are quite budgetary - from 726 euros per semester. 
According to many experts, the most powerful universities in Germany in 2019 are medical, philological and technical universities. Having received a diploma in one of the universities of this country, the graduate has both in or in Foggy Albion.
Today, the authorities and universities in Germany are pursuing a fairly active policy of "luring" foreigners. Against this background, the number of foreigners coming here to study, including Russian students and school graduates, last years has grown significantly. The key advantage that education in Germany gives is that upon graduation from the university, a foreigner has the right. 
relatively inexpensive. And given that historical roots Russia and Germany are strongly intertwined, there is nothing strange in the fact that a lot of Russian emigrants live there.
Features of the education system
Since the Middle Ages, the number of German universities and other educational institutions has grown. Today in Germany there are up to three hundred and twenty-three schools and universities. The education system in Germany has also changed significantly. Of course, the Germans still pay special attention to liberal arts education, but the priority is still given to technical education. The relationship between practice and theory is also taken into account.
Preserving ancient traditions, the country's universities keep up with the times. Gradually, various programs are introduced that are able to reflect new trends in technology and scientific achievements. Against this background, teachers and methodologists are constantly reviewing educational plans.
Considering that students come to Germany not only from Russia, but also from third world countries, the training is conducted both in German and in English.
Modern innovations
Today the German state proclaimed a new principle, which is designated as the principle of academic freedom. According to this principle, freedom is granted both to the higher educational institutions of the country, and to everyone who studies there.
If scholastic education prevailed in medieval universities, today there is no rigid system. The peculiarity of learning lies in self-education. That is, the student receives as much knowledge as he wishes. It all depends on his goals.
The student freely attends classes and makes his own schedule. He himself chooses what disciplines he needs. At the same time, it is important to take into account that the student plan meets all the requirements of the chosen specialty.
Scheme of the structure of the German education system
And the requirements, like many years ago, are quite serious.
Duration of study
Depending on the type of higher education institution, the duration of study also varies. The academic degree also matters. According to existing legislation, students have the right to complete a full course of study.
After that, students are required to take an exam. They are then awarded a professional qualification. On average, the course of study, as in Russia, lasts four years.
In special cases, slightly different standards are established. So, in order to get a bachelor's degree, the period of study is 3 years. Then the student can study for another two years, after which he is awarded a master's degree. If an applicant plans to get a doctoral degree, he will have to study for 2-5 years. 
It is important to understand that against the background of the close connection of the country's universities with research activities, the standard terms of study may be somewhat stretched.
The issue of language proficiency
The main condition for admission to the German higher school is the knowledge of the state language. For many students who want to study in Germany, this is a real hurdle. The majority of Russian schoolchildren attending secondary school are taught English.
Fortunately, today there are more and more universities that teach in English. It should also be considered a plus that, while studying in English, students simultaneously study the state language. 
The duration of study in English is practically the same as the duration of study in state language Germany.
Which university to choose
All universities in Germany are famous for their excellent quality of education. You can choose the right university depending on your goals, abilities and financial capabilities. So, a person who wants to devote his life to research must enter the so-called Uni.
If an applicant is interested in engineering, then he should direct his feet to technical university. It is important to know that today the choice of specialties has become much wider.
Quite often in such educational institutions humanitarian disciplines are taught. Also in Germany there are many commercial higher schools. Also have a large number of Universities that teach in English. Higher education in Germany involves a two-stage approach. 
It is important to consider that some specialties do not require a bachelor's degree. This applies to specialties such as:
- Teachers.
- Doctors.
- Lawyers.
- Pharmacists.
In these cases, the student undertakes to receive only a complete education. Future doctors study for thirteen semesters. Teachers and teachers have to study for ten semesters, lawyers - nine, and students who have chosen the pharmaceutical direction gnaw at the granite of science for eight semesters.
You can find the right program in Germany on these sites:

It is important to know that the certificate of completion of secondary education in the Russian Federation is not recognized by all German universities. Therefore, after graduating from the 11th grade, it is recommended to stay in the status of a student at any university in the Russian Federation for 1-2 years. You can find out this nuance by writing a letter to the university.
There is another sharp pitfall that should be paid attention to by everyone who wants to study in Germany after finishing grade 11. Selection committee for citizens of non-European Union countries usually ends in May. If you have found a university that is ready to accept you right after graduation, then you need to ask them directly about this question. Write to them your situation: you may be allowed to enter with a certificate for grade 9 and a certificate from the school stating that the issuance of certificates for grade 11 will only be in June.
The cost of teaching services in a German university
Not so long ago, every applicant who wanted to study at a German university had the right to free education. Free education today higher schools is gradually fading away. Tuition fees may be set by local authorities.
For this reason, in different higher schools of the German state, tuition fees are somewhat different. The average cost of a semester is 800 euros. This is not the largest amount that those wishing to receive a European education must pay to a German university.
For this reason, education in Germany is so attractive to most Russian students. True, there is another pitfall here. The fact is that 726 euros is the minimum payment for the university. The guardianship carried out international departments, is also not free, in connection with which foreigners are forced to spend a lot of additional funds.
