Schule in Deutschland verstehen (englische Sprachfassung)

What can you do?
1. Don’t impose your desires onto your child. Let your child decide for him
or herself and then find out together where his or her interests truly lie
and what career aspirations your child has.
2. Investigate together with your child which courses of study match his or
her career aspirations.
3. Figure out how studying can be financed: Will your child study in the
city you live in or elsewhere? How expensive is studying there? Will
your family be able to pay for it on its own? If not, how can studying be
fi nanced? Are there more cost-effective options?
4. Find out whether the higher education institution is accredited by the state.
5. Investigate what the chances are of finding employment once a degree
programme has been completed.
