Now you get to know how and where I study.
There are 375 universities in Germany, 159 of these are universities of applied science, 95 non-state institutions (of these 51 privately-, 44 church-operated), and 56 which teach arts or music only.
Until recently there were no tuition fees levied at German universities for either German students or foreign nationals. The situation is still under discussion but it must be remembered that educational matters including the charging of tuition fees is the decision of each individual Land. A general fee of up to €500 (350 $) per semester has been introduced for all students in the summer semester of 2007.
I do study economics at the Hamburg University. This is my 10th semester (5th year) and I am still not done. The average to study economics in Hamburg is 5.5 years - I might take a little longe - have been too lazy the last years.
The best thing in studying in Germany is that you don't HAVEto go there. You just HAVE to take the test at the end of the semester - how you get to understand the stuff is up to you. You either go there - of you don't.
Here are some pictures:
This is the main building
The Hamburg University was founded in 1919.
The University of Hamburg, with close to 40 000 students, is Germany's fifth largest university. There are also 2,200 international students. There are about 850 professors engaged in teaching and research; in addition to that, the university's academic staff numbers 1800 and its technical and administrative staff, 6650. The university has 270 buildings throughout the city, but its center is the Von-Melle-Park Campus in Eimsbüttel. Students may choose from around 120 different subjects offered by six faculties.
- Faculty of Law
- Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences
- Faculty of Medicine
- Faculty of Education, Psychology, and Human Movement
- Faculty of Humanities
- Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Natural Sciences
Here are some impressions of the campus:
This is the main auditorium (almost 2500 seats). We often have lectures in this building - it's usually totally full up.
This is the new law libary:
Until August 2006 the different institutions were spread all over the campus. Now they are all situated in the Lawhouse on Schlüterstraße 28. The Hamburg ZBR is one of Europe´s most modern libraries. It is opened until 12 pm each day - starting to open on 7 am from monday to friday, 8 am on saturday and 10 am on sunday. You´ll find 380.000 books as well as 900 different magazines there, covering all sectors of law. Users can conduct research in various electronic databases from 75 computer terminals or by connecting their own notebook computers in one of the 1000 available network-sockets.
I also found these nice 360° pictures, I thought I would just upload them for you!
Maybe - if some of you wnat to get over here to study - just come around - it's fun!
