Germany Removes University Fees – a sharp contrast to British education

University Education In Germany Now FREE!

As we move nearer and nearer to the end of the year, a cheery and spirit-lifting news for all students of goodwill worldwide is now coming out of one of the most-renowned countries for high quality international education - Germany.

All German Universities will be free of charge as of this year. The last German area to remove fees, Lower Saxony, has officially done so, in what promises to be a historic moment for German (and European) education.

A different, more efficient education

Education in most of Europe is already very different from what it is in the US, Canada, or Australia. In several countries from the Old Continent (most notably Scandinavian countries – Sweden, Norway and Denmark) education has been free for several years, and other countries are starting to follow suite.

“Tuition fees are socially unjust,” said Dorothee Stapelfeldt, senator for science in Hamburg, which scrapped charges in 2012. “They particularly discourage young people who do not have a traditional academic family background from taking up studies. It is a core task of politics to ensure that young women and men can study with a high quality standard free of charge in Germany.”

Indeed, the general trend seems to be to reduce or eliminate tuition fees for higher education. The notable exception here is Great Britain. With some exceptions (like for example Welsh Universities being free for Welsh people), the UK tuition fees are starting to rival those in the US. But it seems more logical to treat higher education like an investment in the country’s future, and not like a private company. It seems logical for the government to support higher education from taxes, thus investing in its future.

The alternative, American model has had some success in various stages, but now, the results seem catastrophic – the US has over $1 trillion in student debt, and the number keeps growing, something which accentuates the country’s economical crisis. So, the question which seems to emerge is…

Why do Universities have tuition fees in the first place?

Image credit: ZME Science

Let’s go back to Germany – why did German Universities introduce tuition fees? The answer is simple, yet unpleasant: because politicians wanted to. Self-proclaimed “modernisers” advocated for their introduction ever since the reunification of Germany. Cultural differences between east and west initially hindered this plan, but in 2005, a court decided that Universities have the right to introduce fees, as long as they are “moderate” and coupled with “the potential for small loans”.

Seven out of 10 states in west Germany introduced fees in 2006 or 2007, and loan companies were lured by the possibility of a new market – student loans in Germany. But the trend didn’t last long, as the German government understood that they have more to profit by keeping higher education free. Now, as of this year, education will be free in Germany, and I couldn’t be happier to report that.

A big part of this decision was the popular movement. In Hesse, for instance, students protested en masse, a citizens’ initiative collected 70,000 signatures, and the ruling Christian Democratic Union party, fighting for re-election in 2008, reversed course in order to retain power. You could argue that politics played a key role here – namely politicians hunting students’ votes; you might be right. The conservative prime minister of Bavaria, threatened with a fee referendum, practically forced his liberal coalition partner into abolishing fees. But the end result is positive, and it’s a clear statement. It’s also an interesting movement from a different perspective: many students from poorer countries in the EU (such as Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary etc) seek better higher education, taking advantage of the EU free movement. However, the expensive lifestyle of Norway or Denmark was often prohibitive. The lesser costs of living in Germany, combined with a bigger economic and industrial sector will almost certainly lure students from abroad, eager to learn and find jobs in Europe’s economical powerhouse. This way, Germany also ensures high competition and an influx of talented young minds – kind of like a brain drain in reverse.

The other end of the spectrum: Great Britain

The situation in the UK could hardly be any more different. Students too protested (at a rarely seen scale) in the UK; there was also a lot of political pressure applied on the government – and yet not only did tuition fees not drop, but they continued to increase. Why is it that a country with such a rich history in education (probably the richest) is so adamant about keeping education expensive?

It’s hard to pinpoint just one cause to this difference; one of the main problems lies in the big disparity between the Universities – sure, England has two of the oldest and most prestigious Universities in the world (Oxford and Cambridge), but there is a big gap between those and the other ones. Not in terms of education level – there are several other universities which can compete with Oxford and Cambridge, but in terms of tradition and social interaction. The UK doesn’t have a university community, they don’t have a developed level of collaboration, not like Germany does.

“England has (after the US) the most highly stratified major university system in the world, the most extravagant and rapidly growing provision of elite private schooling, among the most unequal distribution of opportunity, wealth and income, and some of the lowest levels of social mobility in the developed world, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.”, writes the Times of Higher Education.

Historically, only the rich elite was able to go to higher education. This tradition has carried out for several centuries, with few exceptions. It’s embedded in the people’s minds, and even though many reject that idea now, its imprint can still be felt. Furthermore, both the Labour and the Conservatives have kept education towards the bottom of their priorities, and after the election, the Liberal Democrats infamously betrayed their most prominent manifesto commitment: to eliminate university tuition fees altogether.

The English politicians claim they are realistic – that public financing of education is not, and cannot be sustainable. Yet Scandinavian schools have maintained their higher standards of education easily after this change. The number of applying students has increased, and overall, their results seem to be improving. Meanwhile, America is put in a virtually unsolvable problem of ever rising student loans and economic deficit.

So which camp is right?

As usually, it seems we’ll have to wait a few decades before the results are clear. It seems strange that the two most powerful economies in Europe have such different approaches to education, and yet somehow it seems very fitting. Let time settle which one of these opposite approaches is best. I, for one, know where I’d like to study if I was in that situation

South Africa – Emerging Destination in Higher Education for International Students

Written by a Guest Contributor

If you are considering a study-abroad programme and wish to apply in the African Continent, South Africa is definitely the best option. The country has fast emerged as one of the best destinations for higher education in the recent past.

This article takes a down to earth and practical look at the pros and cons likely to be considered by international students and other African students wishing to study in South Africa.

Read on to know more.

Pursuing Higher Studies in South Africa

Once appalled across the globe for its rigid apartheid practices, today the entire South African society has evolved considerably. With a sound economy and growing infrastructure, the system of education in the country has also registered a strong progress in the recent past.

While national parks and wildlife safaris continue to be trademarks of the Dark Continent, the vast expanses in the economy and education realm of the continent has been attracting hundreds of international students towards South Africa.

Top South African universities have opened their doors to international students. With each passing day, international students from the African continent and other parts of the world are shifting focus towards South Africa.

South African universities are known for their quality of education provided and continuously feature among the top world university rankings. The University of Cape Town is currently ranked at 125th in the world university rankings. Major South African cities like Johannesburg, Durban and Pretoria all boast of a sound education system and public universities in these cities have registered application from several international students.

University System in South Africa

If you are one of those who want to experience life and study in one of the most complex and diverse countries of the world, you must choose to study in South Africa. Undergraduate full-time programmes are of 3-years’ duration in a South African university.

Public universities in South Africa can be divided into three types – traditional, technical and comprehensive. There 23 public universities in South Africa are 3 types of universities in the country. Let’s explore them a little further:

Traditional Universities

These universities are the academic universities which offer a broad range of academic courses. Names include Rhodes University, University of Cape Town, University of Fort Hare and others.

Universities of Technology

These universities are also known as “Technikons” and offer more of vocational courses that are technical in nature. The courses offered in these universities have varying durations depending on the course requirements. Names include Central University of Technology, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Durban University of Technology and others.

Comprehensive Universities

These universities offer an exhaustive combination of both academic and technical qualifications. Institutes like University of Johannesburg, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and University of South Africa are the best known universities in this category.

Admissions for International Students in South African Universities

International students applying in South African universities must have completed secondary school examinations. However, all international students need to secure a South African study permit at the South African High Commission, Embassy, Consulate in their own country.

Similarly, to go onto a postgraduate or Masters Course, you will need an undergraduate degree in a related course from one of the accredited universities in your country.

A strong academic background is very much essential as it can ensure easy entry into any of the top South African universities.

However, for a more exclusive breakdown of the admissions requisites or eligibility criteria on a specific course, visit the official website of the university and send them an online enquiry. Though, a majority of courses in South African universities and colleges are typically taught in English, but, since South Africa is home to around 11 official languages, subsuming Zulu and Afrikaans, it’s always better to check before you apply.

Tuition Fees and Cost of Living

When you compare the course fees in South African universities to other established destinations in the world, you will find it relatively economical to study in this country. For example, studying LLM course in Civil law in the University of Cape Town would cost an Indian student around 60,000 INR excluding an international fee of approx. 15000 INR per semester which is considerably lower than education institutes in UK, Europe and Canada. However, the cost structure varies from time to time; therefore, ensure that you enquire the exact tuition fee in your chosen university before filling up the admission form.

Like tuition fees, the cost of living in South Africa is also not as high as it is in countries like UK, US, Canada and countries in Europe. A three course meal in any good restaurant and average cost of rent of a one bedroom city apartment are quite affordable. Apart from this, the students with international student visa are allowed to work for a specific number of hours every week to support their expenses.

Funding the College education in South Africa

Though funding for international students might not be rampant in South Africa, but there are some institutions that offer scholarship to international students in order to cover a part of their course fee. But, a majority of South African education institutions offer scholarships and bursaries only to South African nationals and the students hailing from other African countries.

5 Things to Keep in Mind about the British Style of Learning

Written by a Guest Contributor

Every country has its own style of imparting education to its young people. Some place more emphasis on text books, others encourage on out-of-the-box thinking.

For students who have spent all their lives in one country and are only acquainted with one style of learning, it often takes some getting used to when they move abroad. Particularly students from Africa and Asia, where the education system is very different from that in the US or the UK.

If you’re a young Indian, Chinese or African student aspiring to study in Britain, you might want to mentally ready yourself for a very different culture and different methods of teaching and learning. Here are a few of them to help you when you land in your chosen destination and begin studies in earnest.

5 Things to Keep in Mind about the British Style of Learning

Interactive Classrooms
UK classrooms are the exact opposite of a professor pontificating from a pedestal and the students reverentially lapping it all up while taking furious notes. The emphasis in British universities is on students keeping their pen and paper away, and instead focusing on what the professor is teaching and participating in classroom discussions. This is taken as a sign of the students’ interest in the topic being taught.

There’s no need to take notes at all since the professors will make available the material taught in the class on the university website (often in the form of powerpoint slides). So that even if you miss a class or two you will have access to all that took place in your absence.

Research-Based Learning
While universities across the world emphasise the role of research in higher studies, the British ones go a step further; their entire courses are formed around research-based learning.

Most universities in the UK provide their students access to all the prominent research journals and databases in the academic world, so that the students have access to the latest research material in their chosen fields. The physical libraries contain millions of books, with the newest editions being continuously brought into the fold. Your research has to be not just accurate but also top-notch. This is very important when conducting literature reviews for theses.

UK Universities Are Hot on Plagiarism
Conducting good research comes with its own set of challenges, especially for those students who haven’t conducted any previously. The biggest challenge involves getting the attribution right, and understanding the difference between paraphrasing research and quoting it verbatim, and the requirements for both.

In my time as an education counselor I’ve often found that students from certain parts of the world do not somehow grasp the importance of attribution and doing it the recommended way.

A lot of plagiarism happens unintentionally, when the student just did not know how to attribute a source properly. It’s not just important to put cited material in quotes, it has to be attributed to the journal/paper/book properly in the manner prescribed by your university. Even paraphrased material needs citation. A lack of care in this regard can earn you an accusation of plagiarism, which is the last thing you’d want.

Intentional plagiarism, on the other hand, can lead to a student losing their place with their university. This is a very grave charge.

Your Assignments Must Meet the Defined Criteria
Evaluation of coursework and assignments in British universities takes place along stated assessment criteria.

Universities in Britain have clearly defined learning outcomes and assessment criteria in place to grade students’ coursework. These criteria are laid out in clear writing for all, reiterated at regular intervals, and students are expected to adhere to them at all times. (Here’s one example of a university’s assessment criteria.)

Even if you turn in a brilliantly researched and attributed article, but somehow fail to address any of the key elements mentioned in the assessment criteria distributed in your class by your professors, you will lose out.

Conversely, someone who hasn’t presented their case in a rich language and with detailed research but has met most (if not all) the key points delineated in their professor’s criteria will end up scoring better than you.

It sounds almost unfair but there’s another way of looking at it – the universities need to come up with objective criteria to assess students’ work instead of engaging in subjective assessment of what’s been turned in by the students. Meeting the assessment criteria shows your professors that: a) you care for what you have been told, b) you have demonstrated that all the key elements expected in your coursework have been taken into account, and c) you’ve learnt that which was the main idea behind the course.

Plenty of Free Time
Universities in the UK have leisurely-paced class routines for their students. This is a good thing since learning should never be a chore if it is to really take place.

The idea behind giving students plenty of free time between lectures is to make sure that they do their studies properly and come refreshed for what’s up next. And when the time comes for exams or assignment submissions, their performance is second to none.

However, many students take the three-day classes a week to mean that they can work multiple jobs all over the town on the days they don’t have uni, and miss the importance of giving their best to their studies – the main reason they are in the UK.

While it is important to socialise and network, undertake a part-time job (since the pound is a strong currency and British studies set all non-EU students back considerably) and intern later on, it’s equally important not to forget that you are in a country known to be a centre of learning, and that you should make the most of your time as a student in the UK to emerge richer for the experience.
