Computer engineering
Mechatronic engineering
General information on the Bachelor of Science programs
Location: Verrès

Length: 3 years
The activities will begin in September 2009.
For more information on the university campus, please visit the Verrès campus website.
Requirements
Being not an Italian citizen
Being at least 18 years old (by 15/09/2009)
Meeting the minimum requirements for the admission to Italian university. For further information, please visit the Entry requirements page.

Not being the recipient of other scholarships, Italian or foreign.
Obtaining a degree at the Politecnico di Torino
To graduate at the Politecnico di Torino, students must attain a total of 180 credits, including exams and the final dissertation. The time required to graduate is approximately 6 semesters. However, the effective duration is also dependent upon each student's capacity.
Please note that scholarship recipients must attend their program for its entire length (3 years – 180 credits). Students who have already attended other university courses can ask for a credit transfer up to a maximum of 10 credits per year (30 credits in total). Please note that credits achieved in preparatory courses or in the first year/second year in systems where preuniversity education lasts 10/11 years can not be taken into account.
Scholarships
Selection criteria
Applicants will be selected based on their previous academic career and on their Curriculum Vitae.
Amount of the scholarship
The gross amount of the Verrès Campus scholarship is 10.000 Euro per year (30.000 Euro for the complete period). The exact net sum is dependent upon the individual tax conditions of each student, which can be verified only upon the arrival of the student.
The amount of the scholarship will not be increased in case the student will need more time to graduate than indicated.
The allocation of the scholarship is dependent upon the submission, within 10 days from the arrival in Italy of the student, of the original documentation, which must correspond with the documentation attached to the online form (see the "Selection outcomes" section below).
Payment of the scholarship occurs periodically. The first instalment is dependent upon the possession of the relevant documentation (residence permit, Italian fiscal code, and bank account in the name of the scholarship recipient), all obtainable upon arrival in Italy; for this reason, the first instalment is not paid at the moment of arrival at the Politecnico di Torino, but in the course of the following months.
Requirements to maintain the scholarship
Given that it is not possible to combine the benefits received from more than one scholarship, students who are assigned another study grant while receiving the Verrès Campus scholarship must promptly notify the Politecnico di Torino.
Payment of the scholarship will be suspended if the academic performance of the recipient does not meet a satisfactory level.
How to apply
To apply, students must, under the penalty of being excluded from the selection process:

After having completed these steps, the application for a scholarship will be considered complete.
N.B. The scholarship or project for which the applicant is eligible is not specified in the application form, since the Politecnico will automatically assess your eligibility for the Verrès Campus scholarship based on the information you provide. At the end of the selection process, the Politecnico di Torino will inform you if you have been selected for a Verrès Campus scholarship (see the "Selection outcomes" section below).

** Applicants who have not yet obtained such a certificate by March 22nd, 2009 must in any case submit their application within the said deadline; after this date, they will be allowed to re-enter the application form only to attach this document and fill in the fields relating to the national state-level university admission exam up until July 15th.
We emphasise that the data shown in the documents must coincide with those inserted in the online application form. Moreover, failure to attach even one of the above documents will result in exclusion from the selection process.
Selection outcomes
Following the closure of the online application form, a special commission will meet to assess the applications.
At the end of the selection process, a provisional list of standings will be composed with the names of the students who have been awarded a scholarship and the names of the eligible applicants that may be awarded a scholarship in the event of one or more renunciations.
The list of standings will be affixed to the Official Register of the Politecnico di Torino. At the beginning of May 2009, information about where and how to access the selection outcomes will be published on this project website and on the Apply@Polito section of the Politecnico website.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AFFIXING OF THE LIST OF STANDINGS TO THE OFFICIAL REGISTER OF THE POLITECNICO DI TORINO WILL BE, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THE ONLY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF INCLUSION IN THE LIST OF SELECTIONS AND, FOR STUDENTS WITH THE APPROPRIATE QUALIFICATIONS, THE ONLY OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP.
An e-mail message will be sent to all scholarship recipients and eligible applicants summarising the terms for the disbursement of the scholarship. This message will be sent to the address(es) specified by the students themselves on the online application form. NEVERTHELESS, THIS MESSAGE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION OF THE OUTCOME OF THE SELECTION.
The scholarship awardees and eligible applicants who wish to confirm their position must take the following steps:
download the scholarship acceptance form which will be published together with the list of selection outcomes, fill it in and fax it to the number +39 011 090 6329. Failure to send in the acceptance fax within the given period will constitute a definitive renunciation and the scholarship will be reassigned accordingly.
upon arrival in Italy scholarship recipients must hand in the original documentation, which was previously attached to the online application form (see the above list), to the Politecnico di Torino. Before handing in the aforementioned documentation, we recommend that you make photocopies for yourself. We ask that you not hand in any other documentation other than that which has been required, and put all the documentation in a single folder bearing your name, surname and "Verrès Campus project". We reemphasize that the information given in the documents must correspond to that attached to the online application form. Failure to hand in the original documentation within 10 days from the student's arrival according to the above conditions will result in the non-allocation of the scholarship.
Publication of the final list of standings is foreseen for May 2009.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AFFIXING OF THE LIST OF STANDINGS TO THE OFFICIAL REGISTER OF THE POLITECNICO DI TORINO WILL BE, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THE ONLY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF INCLUSION IN THE LIST OF SELECTIONS AND, FOR STUDENTS WITH THE APPROPRIATE QUALIFICATIONS, THE ONLY OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP.
We emphasize that the Politecnico di Torino assumes no responsibility for the applicant's failure to view the list of standings and/or the terms for the acceptance of the scholarships as published online and on the Official Register of the Politecnico.
In all the e-mail messages and the correspondence sent to the Politecnico following the awarding of the scholarship, the recipient must clearly specify "Verrès Campus project".
Facilities
The amount of tuition fees for the 2009/2010 academic year is about 1700 Euro. Students from low-income families can be entitled to a reduction or a waiver of tuition fees. In order to obtain such benefit, students must provide an official declaration about:
the composition of their family unit
the revenue generated abroad in 2008
the property and real estate assets generated abroad at December 31st, 2008
These declarations, issued by the competent authorities of the foreign country where the family's income is generated, must be translated into Italian and certified by the Italian Embassy or Consulate. Please see also: Information for students coming from particularly poor countries.
Scholarship recipients, together with the Bachelor of Science course, will benefit from:
an intensive Italian language course, compulsory and free of charge
advice on lodging facilities (for more information visit the Accommodation section)
additional services offered to the student community (access to the Politecnico libraries and computer laboratories, WI-FI (wireless LAN) , etc.); scholarship recipients will also be entitled to all the services offered by the regional university student assistance organisation, Ente regionale per il DIritto allo Studio Universitario (EDISU Piemonte ) at full fee: student canteen service, cultural and recreational activities, sports activities, libraries with lending service, etc. (for more information visit the Campus Facilities section)
assistance in obtaining an entry visa. For more information consult the Immigration Requirements section and the websites of the Italian Embassy or Consulate
assistance by the Stage and Job Placement Office for internship and employment.
Notes
The scholarship does not include accommodation costs, which are thus totally at the expense of the student.
The Politecnico di Torino does not guarantee any type of accommodation for Verrès Campus scholarship recipients. For students turning to the private market to rent an apartment, the initial amount requested for the cautionary deposit is equal to about three months rent, plus any fees charged by the real estate agency, if applicable. The approximate amount of the rent for an apartment shared with other students comes to about 250 EURO/month per person, and the rent for a small/medium sized apartment is about 500 EURO/month.
Enrolment at the Politecnico includes insurance coverage for accidents occurring on the university premises.
Medical insurance for emergencies (First Aid), as required by the law for non-EU citizens, is about 100 EURO per year. Upon their arrival in Italy, students must pay this amount to INA Assitalia: this is required for the conversion of the entry visa into a residence permit. For further information on these matters, see the Health insurance section.
We advise students to go to the Italian Embassy or Consulate to inform themselves on the necessary requirements to obtain an entry visa in Italy.

Obtaining a degree at the Politecnico di Torino
To graduate at the Politecnico di Torino, students must attain a total of 120 credits, including exams and the final dissertation.

The general idea is to explore the close mathematical connection between modern methods of event-history- analysis and nested case-control techniques to develop a range of statistical tools relevant to applications in quantitative genetics. The project is related to an existing research line on livestock quantitative genetics and breeding value prediction at the Research Group of Bioinformatics, Genetics and Statistics. See further details on the project below.
Supervision:
Rodrigo Labouriau (main supervisor), PhD (Mathematical Statistics)
Per Madsen, PhD (Quantitative Genetics)
Application procedure:
* The application should be sent in a single file in pdf format. This file should include the application form and all the documents you want to annex for the evaluation. We will only consider applications meeting all the requirements stated in the official application form
* The application form can be found by clicking here.
* The closing date for applications is 15 April 2009 at 12.00 noon (Danish time, i.e. +1 GWT)
Applications received after the closing date will not be considered!
* Please send your application to the following address: SAFE@agrsci. dk (or click here to send an e-mail applying).
Selection criteria and required qualifications:
Qualifications:
1. A relevant Master's degree (or equivalent), e.g. a master in mathematics/ statistics or a master in genetics (but in this case with a very strong mathematical and statistical background, see the selection criteria below)
2. Fluent English spoken and written.
Selection criteria:
The project requires a strong background in statistics and probability theory.
It is necessary that the candidate has already had contact with formal probability theory (e.g. axiomatic treatment of probability, stochastic processes) and theoretical statistics (e.g. classic theory of inference in parametric models, multivariate analysis and models for discrete variables as log-linear models), since it will not be possible (due to time limitations) to build-up these basic skills during the PhD program.
Computer skills and some experience with applied statistics are required.
Knowledge of general biology and specifically basic genetics will be considered an advantage, but will not be a necessary condition.
Employment conditions:
For further information on employment conditions are described in the official announcement that can be found by clicking here.

PhD position Physical Oceanography
*Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ)*
The NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research is an independent
research institute associated with
the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). NIOZ was founded
in 1876 and is one of the oldest
major oceanographic institutions in Europe. Its mission is to pursue
curiosity-driven multidisciplinary marine
research in coastal and shelf seas as well as in the open ocean through
close co-operation between physicists,
chemists, geologists and biologists.
Marine research is carried out by five scientific departments: Physical
Oceanography, Marine Geology, Marine
Biogeochemistry, Biological Oceanography and Marine Ecology.
*PhD position in Physical Oceanography & Seismic Acoustics *
Topic: *Observational and theoretical study of the equatorial boundary layer
*
Period: 4 years
Location: NIOZ, Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research – Texel,
Netherlands
Observations show that dynamically the ocean differs distinctly in a narrow
zone of ±1o near the equator
compared to off-equatorial regions. This zone is not only dominated by
strong, vertically alternating zonal
currents that inhibit cross-equatorial transport, but also its
stratification, mixing, internal wave climate
and biological diversity differ widely. Global ocean and climate models
often give a very simplified picture
of many processes in this band, and particularly those of small-scale are
badly represented, if at all. This
is partly due to lack of spatial observational resolution. The consequence
is that the predictive value
of these models is limited. In particular, neither the choking effect of
this band of zonal currents on the
meridional transport of heat, in the Atlantic Ocean of relevance to Western
European climate, nor its
variation under climate change is known.
*Geometric focusing* of small-scale internal waves, traditionally neglected,
might have an important effect
on the dynamics of the equatorial zone, which we aim to illuminate by (1) *in
situ *measurements of
physical and acoustic fields along a cross-equatorial transect; (2) use of
satellite data; (3) comparison
to theoretical and numerical model predictions; and (4) development of these
models.
The emphasis is on understanding (1) the strong and strongly varying
equatorial current pattern; (2)
the role of small-scale but intensive internal waves; (3) the role of
geometric focusing of internal
waves on the vertical transport and distribution of heat, momentum and
particles (‘acoustic
scatterers’); and (4) the possible consequences thereof for the meridional
transport of heat and
changes therein due to global climate change. The strategy will be to search
latitudinally for coherent
patterns in underwater physical and acoustic parameters, combining them with
surface meteorological
and remote sensing data.
*We offer* a full-time PhD position for 4 years, a pension scheme, a health
insurance allowance, a yearly
8% vacation allowance, year-end bonus and flexible employment conditions.
Conditions are based on
the Collective Employment Agreement of the NWO Research Institutes.

Two PhD Positions in Auditory Neuroscience-Hannover
Two PhD Positions in Auditory Neuroscience
We are seeking highly motivated PhD Students to work in the program "Function and pathophysiology of the auditory system" at the Hannover Medical School, in Hannover, Germany.
The goal of our group is to investigate neural mechanisms of human auditory system by using event-related potentials (32-channel system, Brain Products). Experiments will involve healthy controls, as well as subjects with cochlear implants (CI). An emphasis will be placed on the processing of language-related irregularities as well as music perception. All studies are conducted in collaboration with the Clinic for Laryngology, Rhinology and Otology.
The research will be conducted at the Hannover Medical School (http://mh-hannover. de) in Hannover, Germany, which is one of the world's leading university medical centers. Our research and patient care set national and international standards. We are also part of an excellent regional medical network. Our outstanding success in interdisciplinary collaboration both within the MHH and with extramural scientific institutions is reflected in the fact that the MHH is the German medical university with the greatest volume of grant funding.
PhD positions:
The candidates must have a master degree (or equivalent) in neuroscience, medicine, psychology, or a related field. Proficiency in oral and written English is necessary. PhD students will have the opportunity to participate in the Center of Systems Neuroscience.
Starting date for all positions is flexible (official teaching classes start date: October, 1st, 2009), but an earlier start will be supported. Scholarship will be 1500 €/months.
We seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are under-represented and therefore explicitly encourage women to apply. We are committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourage them to apply.
The closing date for applications is 15th May 2009 but interested candidates are encouraged to get in touch at their earliest convenience.
For questions or informal enquiries about these posts please contact Dr. Matthias Wittfoth: (wittfoth.matthias@ mh-hannover. de) +49 (0) 511-532-3578.
Please include the following documents in your application (preferably in one PDF-file): Curriculum Vitae, names and contact details of two personal references, a description of your personal qualifications, future research interests and academic goals.
Applications should be sent to: wittfoth.matthias@ mh-hannover. de

Studi di Jerman
Study di Jerman, siapa takut ...?!!!
Oleh Ferizal Ramli
Hingga saat ini hampir seluruh perguruan tinggi di Jerman tidak menarikbiaya studi dari mahasiswanya. Bagi mahasiswa di Indonesia sebenarnya ini merupakan peluang menarik untuk menimba ilmu dan mengembangkan karir. Tantangan kapitalis global di depan mata. Suka-tidak suka, mau-tidak mau 'cengkraman kapitalis global' akan menggilas siapapun yangtidak memiliki standar kompetensi internasional. Lantas mengapa tidakdari sekarang untuk mempersiapkan diri agar bisa studi di luar negeridan 'go international' ? Sekilas tentang universitas di Jerman
Secara umum hampir semua universitas di Jerman berkualifikasi excellent. Standart kualitas pendidikan tinggi di Jerman sangat ketat sehingga kualitas antara universitas satu dengan lainnya relatif sama. Memang benar untuk beberapa universitas tertentu memiliki program yang sangat prestisius dan menjadi unggulan tetapi bukan berarti universitas yangbersangkutan lebih unggul (top rangking) dari universitas lain dalamsegala bidang. Sebagai contoh: RWTH Aachen (tempat studi-nya PakHabbibie) memiliki program unggulan pada bidang mekanika danelektronika, tetapi untuk bidang Manajemen RWTH Aachen kalah populer dibandingkan FHTW Reutlingen. Begitu juga FH Furtwangen (berdasarkan majalah focus) merupakan universitas terbaik untuk bidang komputer danTI, tetapi untuk bidang lainnya bisa jadi FH Furtwangen kalah populer dari universitas lain. Jadi, bagi anda yang berminat studi di Jerman memilih perguruan tinggi bukanlah suatu pertimbangan yang penting tetapi yang lebih perlu diperhatikan adalah memilih jurusan yang sesuai dengan prospek karir dan masa depan anda.
Sistem pendidikan di Jerman relatif berbeda dengan sistem pendidikan diIndonesia atau di negara-negara Anglo-Saxon (USA, UK dan Australia). DiJerman ada 3 katagori perguruan tinggi:
1. Univerität dan Technische Universiät (TU). Sistem pendidikan diuniversität relatif lebih berorientasi pada teori dan research. Prosentasi untuk pengajaran teori mencapai 80%-90% dari kurikulum mata pelajarannya.
2. Fachhochschule (FH) dalam Bahasa Inggris dikenal dengan University of Applied Science. Di universitas ini orientasi kurikulum antara teori dengan praktek relatif berimbang. Prosentase perbandingan antara teori dengan praktek sekitar 60% teori dan 40% praktek plus internship diperusahaan.
3. Berufs akademie (BA) dalam Bahasa Inggris di kenal dengan Universityof Cooperative Education. Universitas ini merupakan bentuk kerja sama antara perguruan tinggi dengan industri (seperti KADIN-nya Jerman).Orientasinya sangat praktis yaitu 60% dari kurikulumnya adalah praktikumdan intership di perusahaan.
Nah, pada saat memilih perguruaan tinggi hendaknya perlu juga dipertimbangkan jenis perguruan tinggi mana yang sesuai dengan minatstudi calon mahasiswa.
Untuk lebih jelasnya maka para calon mahasiswa disarankan untuk membukawebsite: www.hochshulkompass.de
Program Internasional
Banyak para calon mahasiswa terpaksa mengurungkan niatnya untuk studi di Jerman karena terkendala dengan keharusan menguasai Bahasa Jerman. Kendala tersebut tampaknya saat ini lebih mudah diatasi bagi calon mahasiswa. Dalam 5 tahun terakhir ini perguruan tinggi di Jerman banyak yang melakukan inovasi dengan membuka program internasional khususnya untuk jenjang Master (S-2). Dalam program internasional tersebut perkuliahan dilakukan dalam 2 bahasa yaitu Bahasa Jerman dan Bahasa Inggris. Biasanya pada semester awal perkuliahan menggunakan B.Inggris, baru di semester akhir menggunakan B.Jerman. Komposisi seperti ini akan memudahkan para mahasiswa untuk menyelesaikan studinya.
Tetapi tentu saja bahasa tetap merupakan persoalan serius jika ingin studi di perguruan tinggi luar negeri. Bukan merupakan rahasia umumbahwa kemampuan rata-rata Bahasa Inggris mahasiswa Indonesia relatif rendah. Bahkan secara bergurau seorang kolega yang menjadi Manager Personalia di Mitsubishi Heavy Industry pernah mengatakan bahwa kemampuan Bahasa Inggris Insinyur Indonesia tuh lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan Bahasa Inggris-nya TKW (pembantu) asal Filipina. Kita boleh saja tersinggung dengan pernyataan tersebut. Tetapi jika maujujur ungkapan tersebut seratus persen benar adanya. Tingkat kemampuan rata-rata Bahasa Inggris mahasiswa Indonesia relatif rendah. Bagi para calon mahasiswa yang ingin studi di luar negeri persoalan bahasamerupakan kendala serius yang perlu diantisipasi sejak dini.
Persoalan bahasa akan sedikit bertambah rumit apabila ingin studi di Jerman. Selain persyaratan Bahasa Inggris yang excellent yang dinyatakandengan TOEFL minimal 550, juga disyaratkan mempunyai sertifikat kursusB. Jerman untuk level dasar (Grunstuffe) dari Gothe Institut. Memang kualifikasi B.Jerman yang dituntut hanyalah tingkat dasar tetapi untuk lulus sertifikat tingkat dasar tetap dibutuhkan waktu belajar sekitar 6 bulan. Sebagai catatan untuk di Yogyakarta terdapat lembaga kursus yang bersertifikat Gothe Institut. Lembaga tersebut berlokasi di dekat Tugu dan didirikan oleh Persatuan Guru Bahasa Jerman.
Keuntungan Studi di Jerman
Beberapa keuntungan penting studi di Jerman adalah sebagai berikut:
1. Kualifikasi tenaga pengajar yang tinggi. Pengalaman Penulis selama studi di FH Furtwangen menunjukan bahwa untuk Program Master of Computer Science in Software Business Consulting (M.C.Sc.) dibimbing oleh 15orang Professor-Doktor yang rata-rata mereka memiliki pengalaman sebagai Consultant di berbagai perusahaan multinasional. Menjadi sangat menarik adalah Dosen Professornya sebanyak 15 orang sementara mahasiswanya'hanya' 30 orang. Tentu saja dengan rasio seperti ini kualitas akademiknya sangat terjamin.
2. Fasilitas yang lengkap dan modern. Mahasiswa dapat mengakses fasilitas perpustakaan secara 'on line' dengan buku, jurnal, majalahyang sangat lengkap baik dalam bentuk 'hard copy' maupun CD Room. Selain itu mahasiswa juga memiliki akses internet bebas selama 15 jam per hari dan gratis.
3. Lingkage Industri. Dukungan industri terhadap perguruan tinggi sangatbesar. Pada kasus FH Furtwangen misalnya, di semester 3 seluruh mahasiswa program M.C.Sc. akan kerja praktek di perusahaan selama 6 bulan. Selama kerja praktek tersebut para mahasiswa akan mendapatkan gaji dan seluruh biaya hidupnya dijamin oleh perusahaan. Dan tentu sajabagi mahasiswa yang cemerlang 'tidak akan pernah lagi' datang kekampusnya kecuali hanya untuk pendadaran thesis, karena mereka sudah secara otomatis dipromosikan menjadi karyawan tetap perusahaan dimana mahasiswa yang bersangkutan kerja praktek.
4. Biaya kuliah yang sampai saat ini gratis atau relatif rendah.
5. Adanya program internasional sehingga memudahkan untuk menyelesaikan studi sekaligus menguasai B.Jerman.
Biaya Kuliah (Tuition Fee)
Hampir semua perguruan tinggi di Jerman membebaskan kewajibanya mahasiswanya dalam membayar uang kuliah. Tetapi tentu saja ada program-program tertentu yang menetapkan biaya kuliah biasanya ProgramMBA (Master of Business Adminitration). Untuk Program MBA bea kuliahnyaberkisar antara Euro 4,000 s.d Euro 20,000 tergantung dari kebijakanmasing-masing perguruan tinggi yang bersangkutan, meskipun tetap adayang menyelenggarakan MBA gratis seperti di FH Pforzheim atau FHIngolstadt.
Hanya saja kebijakan untuk kuliah gratis di Program Internasional bisasaja suatu hari akan berubah. Dari tahun ke tahun peminat calon mahasiswa untuk studi di program internasional semakin meningkat. Jadi,dimungkinkan jika suatu ketika perguruan tinggi di Jerman akan menerapkan biaya kuliah bagi mahasiswanya khususnya untuk program internasional. Sebagai contoh di FH Furtwangen hingga tahun 2002 ini perkuliahnya gratis, tetapi mulai tahun ajaran 2003 akan menetapkanbiaya kuliah untuk Program Master of Computer Science (M.C.Sc.) in Software Business Consulting sekitar Euro 4,500. Memang biaya kuliah tersebut relatif rendah jika dibandingkan dengan universitas di USA, UKatau Australia. Jika di-kurs dalam rupiah 'paling hanya' Rp 40 juta-an.Hampir sama dengan biaya kuliah di MM UGM atau dua kali lebih mahal daribiaya kuliah di MM UPNVY. Tetapi jika dibandingkan dengan biaya kuliahdi UK (Inggris) yang rata-rata berkisar diatas Rp 150 juta-an untukprogram umum dan Rp 200 juta-an untuk program MBA, maka biaya kuliah diJerman tetap relatif murah. Meskipun begitu, tetap saja terbuka peluang bagi kita untuk dapat mendaftar di perguruan tinggi yang menerapkan kuliahnya gratis tanpa biaya kuliah.
Ketentuan biaya kuliah tersebut diatas sama sekali tidak berlaku untukprogram Master yang seratus persen menggunakan B.Jerman. Seluruh program master yang diselenggarakan dalam B.Jerman (bukan program internasional), biaya studinya gratis. Ketentuannya adalah dibutuhkan lulus test sertifikat B.Jerman dari Gothe Institut untuk level intermediate, ZMP (Zentrale Mittelstufenprüfung) Level.
Persyaratan untuk Mendaftar di Perguruan Tinggi Jerman
Ada beberapa persyaratan administrasi untuk mendaftar studi di Jerman pada Program Internasional. Beberapa persyaratan penting yang perlu dipersiapkan adalah:
1. Foto kopi legalisir Ijasah S-1 dalam B.Inggris atau B.Jerman.
2. Foto kopi legalisir Transkrip Nilai dalam B.Inggris atau B.Jerman
3. TOEFL B.Inggris 550
4. Sertifikat B.Jerman minimal level Grundstuffe
5. Dua surat rekomendasi dari Dosen tempat mahasiswa menyelesaikan studiS-1 dalam hal ini dosen UPNVY.
6. Surat pengalaman kerja minimal 2 tahun.
Khusus untuk surat rekomendasi dari dosen disarankan untuk mendapatkan rekomendasi dari dosen yang memiliki kualifikasi akademik minimal Doktor(S-3) dan akan lebih baik lagi Professor. Sebagai catatan hampir seluruh dosen di Jerman mempunyai kualifikasi Professor-Doktor, sehingga apabila calon mahasiswa hanya direkomendasikan oleh dosen yang berkualifikasi S-2 maka nilai rekomendasi tersebut akan minimalis. Rekomendasi daridosen yang berkualifikasi S-2 tetap punya nilai strategis apabila dosenyang bersangkutan memiliki jabatan struktural penting di lingkunganuniversitas atau fakultas.
Bea Siswa
Dimungkinkan bagi calon mahasiswa untuk mendaftar bea siswa DAAD.Persayaratan penting untuk mendapatkan bea siswa DAAD adalah Dosen atauPegawai Negeri Sipil. DAAD memang memberikan bea siswa untuk umum tetapiproporsi bea siswa untuk umum tersebut jumlahnya sangat terbatas. Untukdi Indonesia kantor DAAD beralamatkan di Gedung Summitmas II, Jl.Sudirman, Jakarta. Hanya untuk catatan penting tidak mudah untuk mendapatkan bea siswa dari DAAD.
Kesempatan mendapatkan bea siswa akan besar jika mahasiswa sudah berada di Jerman. Banyak lembaga non profit atau yayasan yang bersediamemberikan bea siswa. Syaratnya adalah nilai semester yang baik. Dengandemikian 'apply' bea siswa di Jerman baru dimungkinkan apabila kitatelah studi minimal selama satu semester.
Biaya Hidup (Living Cost), Kerja dan 'Free Fall'
Biaya hidup di Jerman relatif bervariasi. Untuk biaya hidup di kota besar relatif lebih mahal dari pada biaya hidup di kota kecil. Sebagai gambaran biaya hidup di kota besar berkisar antara Euro 600 s.d Euro 800per bulan. Sedangkan biaya hidup di kota kecil berkisar antara Euro 450- Euro 600. Perbedaan biaya hidup antara kota besar dan kota kecil memang relatif 'significant'. Tetapi keuntungan studi di kota besar adalah dimungkinkan untuk medapatkan kerja part time yang pendapatannya relatif lumayan besarnya.
Kemungkinan kerja sambil kuliah merupakan alternatif yang menarik. Sebagaimana kita ketahui bersama, sangat sulit sekali bagi calon mahasiswa untuk mendapatkan bea siswa di Indonesia. Untuk itu banyak mahasiswa yang mengambil alternatif kuliah sambil kerja mengingat sistemimigrasi di Jerman memungkin untuk itu. Pada banyak kasus para rekanmahasiswa dari India atau Cina banyak yang datang untuk studi di Jermandengan uang saku sangat 'pas-pasan' bahkan hanya cukup untuk biaya hidup3 bulan. Modal mereka hanya tekad dan nekad. Pola seperti ini biasanya disebut dengan 'free fall' (terjun bebas) berjuang sampai 'titik darah penghabisan' di negeri orang. Mereka siap hidup prihatin dan 'strugle'dengan kuliah sambil kerja, syukur-syukur mendapatkan bea siswa. Pola'free fall' ini akan lebih mudah diterapkan jika mahasiswa tinggal dikota besar karena mudah untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan part time. Banyakdiantaranya yang sukses dengan pola 'free fall' meskipun tetap ada saja yang gagal. Terlepas dari beratnya tantangan yang mesti diatasi, pola'free fall' tetap merupakan alternatif yang menarik bagi calon mahasiswa yang memiliki tingkat 'adrenalin' dan confident yang tinggi tetapi kemampuan financial resources-nya terbatas. Moral point yang pentingdalam hal ini mengapa pola 'free fall' tidak dicoba ? Toh banyak sekalimahasiswa yang sukses dengan pola free fall.
Jangan pikirkan pengorbanan dan tantangan yang mesti akan dihadapi, tetapi fokuskan pikiran tentang masa depan gemilang yang siap menyambut dikemudian hari dengan penuh senyum tentu saja....
