Professional Recognition of a Study Abroad

Professional Recognition of a Study Abroad

There are many reasons to complete a full degree abroad. Be it because the entry requirements for a certain subject area, such as medicine, are more moderate than in Germany. Or maybe because a foreign university offers a unique program that doesn’t exist in Germany. Another reason: employers particularly like some degrees if they were obtained abroad: This is especially the case with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or a Master of Laws (LLM). As beneficial as a foreign…

Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus

Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus

Education The Swinburne University of Technology Campus Sarawak (SUTS) is surrounded by residential areas and malls and is a little away from the city center and the “waterfront” and is in principle only accessible by motorized vehicle if you do not find accommodation on campus, as there is little walking – and there are no bike paths, only sparse public transport in Kuching. The university has a fairly large and modernly designed campus which offers accommodation as well as a…

Saint Mary’s University Student Review

Saint Mary’s University Student Review

Halifax is a very nice student city, not too big and equipped with many good locations. If you are looking for accommodation near the university, the city center is very easy to reach on foot or, in winter, by bus (about 10 minutes). The Canadians are extremely helpful and courteous people, even if their English is not that perfect at the beginning. I stayed at the YMCA on South Park Street. The advantage here is the fast internet access, for…

Griffith College Dublin Student Review

Location Dublin – Good Times, Bad Times Everything I knew about the Catholic “Isle of Saints” before my departure I found in a small booklet. It tells of the “overwhelming piety”, of the Irish as “the only people who never undertook expeditions of conquest”, of a country where poverty is “not only no longer a disgrace, but neither honor nor disgrace”, where it is “a social moment Self-confidence becomes as insignificant as wealth ”. It describes records in whiskey drinking…

Universitat Autònoma De Barcelona Student Review

Before the stay: I chose Barcelona because it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It offers many sights, nightlife and the beach in one. Now there are three things to do before you arrive. 1. The flight: to Barcelona actually not a problem, you can always find something with Ryan-Air! 2. Accommodation: you can stay in the “Vila” on the university campus, so you can always get to the lecture quickly in the morning, but far…

Boston University Student Review

Boston University Student Review

Where did I live in Boston I chose the Boston University dormitory. The pictures on the internet looked convincing. In the end, I found that the accommodation was very dirty, neglected and relatively expensive. There was still no choice for my year and all international students had to stay in Danielsen Hall. That’s why you didn’t meet Americans there. I mostly only used the accommodation as an overnight stay and quickly looked for alternatives for studying and spending my free…

Chico offers some advantages compared to a metropolis like San Francisco, San Diego or LA: The costs are manageable, the weather is good, not constantly foggy and windy like in San Francisco and it was not for nothing that Chico was once voted the best party university. Chico is also an ideal starting point for weekend trips; Whether to San Francisco, Lake Tahoe…

California State University Fullerton Student Review

Since a semester abroad was compulsory for my studies, I looked around for opportunities very early on. It was clear to me from the start that I would go to the USA and so I came across MicroEDU relatively quickly. However, since I was initially unsure of exactly where to go and what to watch out for, I attended a consultation from MicroEDU. Here I was informed about basic things that I would not have considered beforehand. After I made…

California State University Long Beach Student Review

First of all, the preparations Two friends and I decided relatively spontaneously to do a semester abroad in Long Beach. Thanks to the agency MicroEDU.com, everything went pretty quickly and unspectacularly. After we had gathered the documents, we sent everything to MicroEDU, who then forwarded our application to Cal State. Within a few weeks we received a confirmation with further information and a checklist of things that we now had to do. Thanks to this list, the further process with…

My semester abroad at California State University San Marcos was an incredibly great, exciting and important experience for me ! Since the only thing I had booked from Germany was a motel for the first 4 nights, my first priority was looking for and finding accommodation.

Hawaii Pacific University Student Review

Hawaii Pacific University Student Review

Studying in Hawaii? Unreservedly recommended with the necessary change! I would go back to the HPU at any time without hesitation. Hawaii is a wonderful place that knows how to fascinate with a variety of cultures that you will probably not find anywhere else in the world. He is a melting pot of American lifestyle, fast food and consumption (and obesity) and Asian friendliness. People exude an aloha that I would have loved to take home with me. As soon…

San Diego State University Student Review

PREPARATION As for planning, all I can say is that it’s never too early to start. There are a lot of things to organize, and a MicroEDU is really good at helping!

From then on the planning started – applying for a visa, looking for…

San Jose State University Student Review

Actually, I’ve already completed a semester abroad in Spain and always thought – that’s enough. But when I started my Masters in International Economics, I decided differently. It should go to an English-speaking country and preferably to the USA, if possible to the West. But since my university only has very few partner agreements with American universities and a friend drew my attention to MicroEDU, I thought – give it a try and organize on your own. The first contact…

First of all, a big thank you to the great advice and support from MicroEDU, without which the whole thing would not have gone so smoothly. Special thanks to Annika Uhlig, who always stood by me with an open ear and responded quickly to my questions. Why Berkeley some ask? For me it was like that I had planned to go abroad for some time and I was also sure that it should be California. On the one hand, Berkeley…

Planning and application Actually, I had planned to take a semester abroad during my bachelor’s degree, which unfortunately didn’t work out. When I started my Masters in Germany, I started planning my semester abroad for the third semester. Since my university does not offer an exchange with an American university, I decided on MicroEDU. UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis were shortlisted for me. Ultimately, I decided because of the comparatively “lower” tuition fees and the DAAD…

I have from 02.08. – 08.09.2010 participated in the Summer Session II of the UC Irvine.

University of California San Diego Student Review

My time at UCSD was exciting and brought many new experiences. I flew to San Diego a few days before the introduction and stayed in a hostel, then looked for an apartment on craiglist.com. Some of them suggested I live in Pacific Beach. Pacific Beach is located exactly between Downtown (in the south) and the UCSD in the north of the city. I looked at apartments in both Pacific Beach and near the university, but then decided on Pacific Beach….
