Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 382
People from the University Foreign Affairs Office told Dong Qiangqiang that now he can apply for the preparatory examination of Han University. Of course, the prerequisite is that he has an APS certificate.In addition, he was given a piece of paper, which clearly stated that 7:20 noon on Friday, July 12th was the deadline for registration for the Han University Preparatory Examination, and no waiting was allowed after that.

When drinking with Lao Bai on Sunday, Dong Qiangqiang mentioned that it is more troublesome to apply for university now than before.Lao Bai agrees with his opinion, and thinks that the reason for the sudden drop of APS certificates is mainly because studying in Germany is cheaper than other countries, which leads to a large number of students with fake degrees flocking in in a short period of time, frightening German universities.

Since the 80s, Chinese students studying abroad are mainly developed countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom have always been the first choice for studying abroad, and even Japan at a certain stage.However, studying abroad has never been an easy task, and the first thing that bears the brunt is the tuition fee.

Tuition fees in developed countries are usually high. Taking well-known universities in the United States around 2001 as an example, the tuition fees for popular majors such as finance, electronics, and medicine cost 2 to 3 U.S. dollars a year, and the tuition fees for cattle schools are even higher.Calculated according to the current exchange rate, the annual tuition fee is about 14 to 20 RMB. If the university applicant cannot get the full scholarship of the university he intends to apply for, he must bear it at his own expense. In this case, even if he gets the half scholarship Therefore, the students also have to weigh their wealth carefully, because in addition to tuition fees, there are also expensive tuition and miscellaneous fees and living expenses waiting for them.In order to send their children to study in Britain and the United States, many families not only spent all their savings, but it is not uncommon for families to borrow money by selling cars and houses.

The reason why this happens, in the final analysis, is because going abroad is a cost-effective self-investment.

Although the tuition fees for studying in Britain and the United States are staggering, once you finish your studies, you can easily find a job in the United Kingdom and the United States. Although whether you can get a high salary depends on each person's academic performance and major, it is an indisputable fact that you can earn more than in China ( Note: mainly exchange rate bonus).Working in the United States for two years can usually pay off the debts owed before studying (many international students work part-time while they are studying, and they can basically pay off their debts when they graduate).If the job is stable, international students still have the opportunity to immigrate to Britain and the United States, so Britain and the United States have always been popular countries for studying abroad.

Although Germany is the most powerful country in Europe, it has not been favored by Chinese students because it is not a country of immigrants and the school system is very long.

But around 2000, many domestic engineering schools opened exchange courses with German universities, and the upsurge of domestic students studying in Germany gradually rose.

This phenomenon has been keenly noticed by study abroad agencies.Under the exquisite packaging of the study abroad agency, study in Germany appears in a brand-new form in front of many students and their families who are planning to study abroad but do not know where to study abroad.

The first advantage: English TOEFL, GRE or IELTS scores are not required to study in Germany (Note: If applicants choose a degree taught in English, they still need to provide proof of English).As long as students can pass the German university entrance examination, that is, Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang auslndischer Studienbewerber, referred to as the DSH exam, they can enter the university.The advantage of this test is that each test is very cheap and there is no limit to the number of times. The disadvantage is that it can only be taken at the university you applied for, and the test is difficult.

The second advantage: cheap.At that time, all public universities in Germany did not charge tuition fees (note: different universities will charge a student registration fee of about 100-200 marks per semester). living expenses in Germany.According to the regulations at the time, as long as the applicant deposits enough marks equivalent to 20 RMB in his German bank account before studying abroad, he can apply to study in Germany.One of the tenets of German universities is wide entry and strict exit. As long as you meet the admission requirements, German universities will admit you as a college student. As for whether you are dawdling after entering the university, no one is watching, because German universities usually do not have The concept of "class" naturally does not have the setting of "head teacher". The students in each class are different. There are majors and other majors. Whether students can graduate depends on their own diligence.

Usually, it takes five years or more for students of a German comprehensive university (Universitt, referred to as Uni) to complete a master's (Diplom) course, while students of a German university of applied sciences (Fachhochschule, referred to as FH) usually spend about three to three and a half years. Completed the FH Master (FH Diplom) course.Regardless of whether it is Uni or FH, public universities in Germany usually offer combined undergraduate and master studies, but this does not mean that the university will issue you an undergraduate diploma first after completing a certain course, and then issue you a master's diploma after completing a year of study. .Students usually have to pass the exams of all the prescribed courses in the basic course stage (Grundstudium) (Note: Passing the exam does not issue undergraduate certificates and the like), and then they can continue to study in the advanced course stage (Hauptstudium), and other advanced course exams After passing all or passing 90% (Note: Different public universities have different regulations), you can start writing your graduation thesis.

In the advanced course stage, completing the prescribed course examinations is only part of the studies. Some universities also require students to complete the internship for a long time before graduation, or how many related academic seminars (Seminar) and reports to complete, and more It even stipulates the number of class hours for students to go to other universities as exchange students.

The third advantage: If a student can get a German student visa, it is equivalent to getting a pass, and they don’t need to apply for a new visa from other countries when traveling or even working in all Schengen countries. At that time, the European countries around Germany were all As a Schengen country, in other words, international students can have more choices in their leisure time.

Relying on these three advantages, the study abroad agency quickly pushed a large number of students from ordinary families who wanted to go abroad to Germany.

With the help of intermediaries, German colleges and universities ushered in a wave of "new wave".

When there are too many people, it is inevitable that there will be fish in troubled waters. It is at this time that fake academic qualifications began to appear in many application materials.

Frankly speaking, fake academic qualifications do not only appear on Chinese students, but also among other international students such as Eastern and Southern Europe. However, because the number is limited, it has not caused much impact on German university admissions offices.

The flood of application materials is constantly testing the discernment of German university staff, and the final result is that Germans issue a large number of admission letters.

But after only one semester, German professors from different universities were surprised to find a similar phenomenon: many Chinese students not only did not understand the lectures, failed to pass the exams, and even had serious problems in basic dialogue and communication.After reflecting on the review, the Germans quickly and solemnly launched the APS Audit Department in July 2001.

The purpose of the review is to see whether the applicant's application materials are true, and the second is to judge whether the applicant's language ability is suitable for future study and life in Germany.

Walking out of the palace-like university gate, looking at the green grass in front of the main building and the statue of a horse soaring into the sky, Dong Qiangqiang secretly rejoiced that although he was only a junior college student, fortunately he had a formal degree recognized by the Ministry of Education. I have learned 1200 hours of German, as the saying goes, true gold is not afraid of fire.He only hoped that the APS review department could finish reviewing his materials quickly so as not to delay the exam.

In the next few days, Dong's father would call Dong Qiangqiang almost every day to tell Dong Qiangqiang the result of his consultation with APS that day, but the other party told him to wait patiently every time, and he didn't know the rest.Even after several days of asking, there was no further answer, so Father Dong had no choice but to give up.

But it wasn't just APS who had no news, the person who snatched He Yangjin's money didn't reply Dong Qiangqiang's email either.Although Hu You later sent Dong Qiangqiang the other party's QQ number, and Dong Qiangqiang also wrote a letter, but these two letters all disappeared, and the other party seemed to disappear out of thin air, without any movement.

At noon on Thursday, Dong Qiangqiang was brushing up the questions when he suddenly received a notice from the driving school asking him to take the traffic regulation written test next Thursday.

Dong Qiangqiang, who was dazed by dozens of sets of questions, simply threw away the pen, took the bait and tools, and did not call Duanmu, and went into Fleischer's stocking forest alone.
