Report on the Online Awareness Class on Educational Opportunities in Germany
An online Opportunity Awareness Class was organised by IQAC of Adi Sankara Training College, Kalady in association with the National & International Opportunities Cell on Sunday, 28 September at 12.30 pm. The session was handled by Ms. Hasna M.A. (M.Sc., B.Ed.), who is currently pursuing her Master’s in Biological Resources at Düsseldorf, Germany.
Ms. Hasna gave a detailed presentation on the various higher education prospects in Germany for B.Ed. graduates. She explained the scope of pursuing Master’s programmes in Education and allied disciplines and highlighted the advantages of studying in Germany such as internationally recognised degrees, low or no tuition fees in public universities, and the availability of English-taught courses.
The resource person also elaborated on the application procedures including university selection, preparation of academic documents, language proficiency requirements (IELTS/TOEFL or TestDaF), and the importance of applying through portals like DAAD and Uni-Assist. She further guided participants through the student visa process, giving step-by-step instructions regarding admission letters, blocked accounts, health insurance, and residence permits.
In addition, Ms. Hasna shared valuable insights on job opportunities available to international students during and after their studies, including part-time work during the course and post-study employment prospects in the German education and research sectors.
The interactive session provided clarity and motivation for students aspiring to continue their higher education abroad. The class concluded with an engaging question–answer segment in which participants clarified their doubts about scholarships, cost of living, and cultural adaptation in Germany.
The programme was highly informative and inspired the B.Ed. students to explore international pathways for academic and career growth.
