Bachelor degree at HfG
You cannot enter a German university after the 11th grade, because schooling there lasts longer than 11 years. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference. To do this, foreign students go through a preparatory year in special educational institutions — Studienkollegs. Undergraduate studies at HfG are eligible if you pass the entrance exams.
The city campus of HfG provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Schwabisch Gmund has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students.
The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. The university has everything for sports: sports grounds and clubs. HfG regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
