From undergraduate degree in the USA to the accadis graduate program

niklas zielen usa accadisFirst impressions of accadis Hochschule for a student who obtained his undergraduate degree in the USA

After completing your undergraduate degree, a lot of questions arise. Will I start working right away? Will I start a Graduate program in Germany? And then ultimately, what is the right institution that suits my character and needs the most?

Personally, I studied in the US as a collegiate athlete at a fairly big college. Despite the size of the institution, the family atmosphere and caring environment really stood out to me. Small classes and a lot of committed professors made studying really enjoyable. Unfortunately, the situation in most German universities is quite the opposite. Crowded lecture halls, an anonymous atmosphere and overly busy professors are the sad reality.

Knowing my preferences fairly well after 4 years of studying abroad, attending public university was not my way to go. I was looking for an alternative that provided a high level of education in a friendly and personal environment. Now, 6 weeks into my graduate program at accadis Hochschule, I can straightforwardly say that all my needs are being perfectly met. Amazing staff that actually cares about the students and provides all needed help. The facility suits the size of the student body well, and is up to date with technological requirements. My fellow students must be specifically mentioned. It is amazing to see how quickly strangers turn into friends. Starting from orientation day, where I did not know anyone, until now, when I am looking forward to seeing my friends in the lecture room. Quite frankly, I was impressed how the prejudice of private universities was proven wrong here at accadis Hochschule. It is stunning to see how so many diverse cultures and personalities get along and work together toward their common goal.

For everyone coming from outside of Germany, I can only recommend accadis Hochschule for his/her next step in their educational career. The welcoming environment, combined with great education is the perfect fit for everyone who wants to be more than just matriculation number.
