My time at EUBS

by: Gurleen Sound - KenyaProgram: Bachelor's programs for future entrepreneurs

Hello! I am currently having a great time at EUBS, They helped me in getting in contact with people around me to make me feel more comfortable. Even though I didn't attend the orientation session the students made me feel part of class and the professors were there to help me through out my classes. Currently, I am studying online due to medical reasons, but EUBS are making sure that I am getting all the help I need in order to make my educational journey a success, and help me not strain my medical journey as well.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Munich

Subjects & Courses

Munich is a leading educational and research center of Europe. Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and Technical University of Munich are two of only three German universities to be granted “Elite” status by the State, therefore these institutions consistently attract funding for cutting edge research in a variety of fields. The Max Planck Society, often regarded as the premier non-profit research institution in the world with 32 Nobel Prizes awarded to its scientists, also has its administrative headquarters in Munich. So simply put, you’ll get a pretty solid education in Bavaria’s capital city.

Popular areas of study in Munich include Engineering, Applied Sciences, Computer Science, and Business. Being at the global forefront of scientific and technological research, Munich is a fantastic place to enhance your education in any of these fields while participating in a wide variety of extracurricular opportunities. In addition, the city has always been a spiritual and German philosophical fortress, making studying Philosophy, Religion, Literature, or History in Munich all great options for those thinkers not inclined toward the hard sciences. 

Most academic institutions in Munich offer courses taught in German, so if you are not planning to supplement your study abroad experience with German language studies then your options may become more limited. However, many colleges will offer at least some classes taught in English, and many study abroad programs will provide students with independent courses in English or partner with alternative academic institutions where classes are taught in English.

The German semester system is a bit offset from many other Western academic calendars. Academic terms generally run from September to February and March to July, with many shorter breaks weaved throughout the calendar year. Make sure to plan ahead with your study abroad program provider and home university to accordingly organize a manageable plan for studying abroad in Munich.
