article of an apprenticeship
• The practical part is imparted by the company
(2-3 days per week)
The theoretical part by the vocational school (1-2
days per week)
Apprenticeships
& Vocational School

associations
• At the end, the apprentice becomes a
journeyman
• Journeymen can become a master craftsman by
visiting a master school for either full time or half
time (one to four years)
International
Qualification‘s value through Europe
• Nearly every graduate (score 1.0 to 1.5)
from a German High School got a good
rating in whole Europe for nearly every
subject in a university
• If you have such a grade, you would get an
interview with the director of the university
and the most German students got
favorited for this
International
Qualification‘s value through Europe
• Higher universities like Oxford need the highest
graduation (1.0), just for the interview, but
German students got a better basis if they are
from Bavaria or NRW
• 68% of the students with a graduation from a
German Grammar School get an interview with a
foreign university (of whom 32% a place)
International
Qualification‘s value through Europe
• 26% of the students with a lower rated
graduation (Vocational School) get one (of
whom 15% a place)

considered a bachelor in the EU
International
Differences to other European countries
• Primary education is relatively short
(four years) compared to other European
countries (5-6 in average)
• With ten compulsory years, Germany is one
over mean
