Studying in Germany means that you are responsible for many areas of your studies. At the start of your first semester at our University you will receive a course plan that roughly structures your degree program. Within this course plan you will have certain fix points, and also a lot of choices about what to study when. It will be up to you, with the help of our course guidance service to organize your daily term schedule and to manage your weekly workload. That gives you a lot of freedom, but for many students this degree of freedom can seem daunting and stressful at first. That’s why it is so important to keep track of things and to plan each semester and your own time well. In this episode Polina will tell you about her own experiences as an international student and give you some helpful tips for organizing your studies.
