High schooler planning to study engineering in Germany: What are the steps and job prospects in the field?

Ans: Hello Gopinath,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently pursuing his diploma in Mechanical Engineering and then wishes to pursue his Bachelor’s degree in Germany. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that on completing his diploma, it is definitely possible for your son to further pursue his Bachelor’s in Germany. The higher education system in Germany is well-regarded and you would be glad to know that many English-taught programs are offered by a number of German universities for international students to pursue.

Your son will be required to adhere to specific prerequisites, which entails demonstrating his ability to speak in the English language through appearing for tests viz., the TOEFL or IELTS, meeting certain educational criteria, as well as obtaining a student visa to study in Germany. In addition, remember that in order to make sure that his diploma degree is equivalent to German qualifications, your son may have to go through a recognition procedure. Moreover, to learn about their prerequisites for admission and the processes, I would suggest that he conducts an all-round study as well as gets in touch with his preferred universities.

Ans: Hello Soumitra,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to know that your son is interested in pursuing an internship program in Germany or France. However, I would like to tell you that studying overseas frequently offers easier visa options, such as student visas, which can result in post-study employment opportunities. Therefore, instead of directly going for an internship program, he can consider pursuing higher studies first. Both Germany and France are renowned for their top-notch education and research centres, and thus, pursuing a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or an associated field in any of these countries is an ideal choice. RWTH Aachen, TU Munich, and École Polytechnique are renowned universities that provide specialized courses. Your son should also think about contacting academics in his area of interest and participating in academic conferences or workshops, which can assist in establishing connections and result in possible internship or research possibilities. In Germany, he can locate internships and research possibilities via platforms such as DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), which frequently entail financing options. Likewise, in France, your son can explore the CAMPUS France website, which offers information on internships and study programs that are open to overseas students. I wish him the very best for all his future endeavors.

Ans: Hi George.

Yes, your nephew can pursue a Bachelor's degree in Germany after completing a diploma in Computer Engineering in India. However, German universities typically require students to start from the first year since they follow a different academic structure, and lateral entry programs like in India are rare. To qualify, he may need to complete a one-year preparatory course (Studienkolleg) if his diploma doesn't meet the university entrance requirements. Proficiency in German (B1/B2 level) or English, depending on the course language, is essential. Researching specific universities and programs will help clarify exact requirements.
