TESTIMONY
"My name is Leo Jie Khai and I am one of the Freshman Program’s student of year 2019/2020. Freshman Program not only provide preparation course for those who want to study in Germany’s Universities, it also taught us every important things and process studying in Germany’s University such as application of VISA, opening a bank account, applying for residence permit and more by guiding us step by step during the freshman year.
We also get to know new friends from different countries and culture of Germany. Freshman Program is a good choice for those who want to study in Germany with or without knowledge of German. I came to Germany without having knowledge of German but my German is getting better during freshman year as I able to get in touch with Germany’s culture every day. Freshman Program has helped me a lot to prepare for my Uni life."
