Europe offers many opportunities – and experience abroad will always take you further, no matter whether you do an internship, undergo training, study or start a job. Europe's open borders allow you great flexibility
deutschland.de has asked young people to report in videos on their experience in Europe. With these first-hand comments, you will be well prepared for the time you spend in Germany or another EU country.
Studying abroad
Do you like the idea of studying in a European country? Then you have a huge range of possibilities – and you can even get financial support. A course of study is a good time to get to know new things: new countries, a new language, a different culture.
The fact that all borders are open in the EU and you can decide which country you want to live in is something very special. In this video Lina from Australia tells us how she benefits from this. She studied in Germany for two semesters and gained work experience at a large recruiting agency. Today she lives in England and is studying psychotherapy.
Andy from Spain decided to study in Germany and moved to Berlin five years ago. In the video she tells you about her experiences as an international student in Germany – and even shows you the Berlin unis from the inside.
Internship abroad
An internship abroad makes you more independent, self-confident and sets you apart from the crowd. This will increase your chances if you apply later for a place at university, a scholarship or a job, for example. Here you can find all the essential information.
In this video Bharat from India tells us how he managed to find a permanent job through an internship in Germany – and even succeeded in finding personal happiness.
Training
"Germany offers everyone a chance, no matter where they come from or how they look," says Karlos. The Spaniard has been living in Germany for four years and has trained there as a media designer.
In this article, Karlos tells us how it came about and how this decision has changed his life for the better. The EU is a sought-after labour market, and Germany's system of dual apprenticeship is special. In contrast to training in many other countries, it combines vocational theory with practical work in a company, which improves your chances of being taken on in a permanent job later on.
