0:02
I'm your host AZ i hope you're all doing
0:04
well i hope everything is going great
0:06
and today we'll see the application
0:08
procedure of RWth Aan University in
0:11
Germany as always you can start by just
0:13
googling the name of the university or
0:15
you can go to globalcolarships.com which
0:17
is our free platform with a ton of
0:19
information about studying abroad and
0:21
scholarships etc etc and then type in
0:24
the name and here and the institutions
0:28
let's click on this one and the main
0:30
reason I'm making this tutorial right
0:32
now is that uh Aan University has uh two
0:36
scholarships right now uh one of them is
0:38
not really a a scholarship it's just
0:40
free tuition you might know uh most
0:43
German universities do not charge any
0:45
tuition fee at all so this is a free
0:46
university you only have to pay about
0:48
€300 per uh semester and they also have
0:51
this student assistantships uh which
0:54
will give you about uh €12,000 per year
0:57
uh for working at the university there
1:00
are like job posts etc etc this is for
1:02
bachelor's masters and PhD and of course
1:05
you can apply to the university and if
1:07
you're admitted you can apply to uh this
1:09
assistantships and if you get them you
1:11
don't have to pay any tuition fee as
1:13
well and then you will pretty much get
1:15
your living expenses completely covered
1:18
by about 12,000 per year anyway to start
1:22
our application we go here and under the
1:24
admissions page section we go and click
1:27
here and this is their page for
1:29
application bachelor as you can see they
1:32
have different guides here application
1:35
and enrollment deadlines step-by-step
1:37
instructions registration uh blah blah
1:40
blah you can look at that and here we
1:42
have the difference between applying for
1:43
an open admission single subject
1:45
bachelor's program and restricted
1:47
admission single subject bachelor's
1:49
program you can read these and decide
1:51
which whichever one is the right one for
1:54
you also keep in mind to be able to
1:56

1:58
need to complete the program self
2:00
