joined the British Army as a pharmacy captain after a two year pharmacy residency in a London hospital

she realized that working at a local chemists and in a hospital weren’t for her so she decided on the career change

speaking of her life before being a pharmacy captain, she was a good student — not at the bottom but not at the top

she primarily struggled with anything related to pharmacology but excelled with therapeutics and counseling

her blood type is O- (a universal blood donor)

before becoming a pharmacist, she had aspirations of becoming a linguist or historian

was amazing at picking up languages and learning them after some time

but she was drawn to pharmacy after seeing how it helped a close family friend who had an MRSA resistant infection

knows 10 different languages and counting (with varying speaking and writing fluency) - English obvi, Spanish, Mandarin, Greek, Latin, Russian, Arabic, Swedish, German, French, and is currently learning Portuguese

loves taking walks and runs at the base gym (she has to get in her recommended 150min of exercise a week)

if you think she’s listening to music while exercising you’re wrong, she’s listening to podcasts and always loves the medicine focused ones

always will show up to military balls or formal events and talk to you about anything under the sun

loves interacting with people 1 on 1 rather than behind a pharmacy counter

also keep in mind she’s not flirting, she just loves chatting with people and knowing how to make their day better

one time, she met a linguist and after the initial awkwardness (she thought the pharmacist was hitting on her), they had a whole conversation about the nuances of languages

if you know her well, you’ll notice how she deflects the conversation onto you and talking abt yourself as she loves observing

Gaz and Ghost frustrate her at times as she finds herself revealing things she normally won’t tell patients

despite the health risk, she loves caffeine and always has an energy drink or cup of coffee during the day

her diet is completely different, she prefers to prepare things in her room or look for the best things in the mess hall (she needs a balanced diet)

her bookshelves in her room are filled with books in a variety of languages and are often history books or classics

she also is currently reading a book that details the history of women in medicine

she has pictures in her room which show her happiest times aka being in pharmacy school

carries a large water bottle with her at all times and her tech’s have to remind her to stay hydrated during a shift

her techs are basically her siblings and she likes to take them off base occasionally to chat about something different than drugs and immunizations

her drink of choice is a tequila sunrise because tequila is the only alcohol that isn’t a depressant and also orange juice is a great source of Vit C!

her second drink of choice is a penicillin

wants to be a professor when she retires and dreams of teaching about self-care recommendations and emergency medicine

has a small tattoo of a mortar and pestle on her forearm, she got it with some of her friends when they all graduated

her tech joked that she should get a notepad tattooed on her wrist because she always writes reminders on her arms

primarily lives on base and occasionally visits her parents who live in Brighton

she updates them weekly but they know their daughter is in one of the safest places in the UK

her favorite drug to administer are any antimalarials, eye drops, nasal spray, and inhalers (she loves that she just has to count the boxes)

her least favorite is Metformin and thyroid drugs as they often are in counts of 90 or 180

constantly uses pink pen and colorful sticky notes (peep her little notes in the medical files)

the reason she hates doctors is not because of anything significant but because of an ex that told her that her degree was irrelevant because she didn’t go to med school

hates the stigma against pharmacists, in the US they’re literally considered doctors so why is there such disrespect?

she’ll never admit it but her favorite patients are the 141, they all have such unique personalities that she constantly looks for their scripts every morning

The Mystique of Leopold: How a Barber’s Spell Transformed a Generation

In a quaint little town nestled between gentle hills and winding rivers, there exists an unassuming barber shop that stands as a testament to the art of grooming and the enchantments of destiny. Here, among the hum of clippers and the comforting scent of pomade, resided Leopold, a German-born barber whose mystical abilities transcended the mere act of cutting hair. Renowned not just for his artistry, Leopold became a figure of intrigue, drawing in customers with a blend of charm, charisma, and an inexplicable influence over their choices.

Leopold was no ordinary barber. His hands wielded scissors with a deftness that could only be described as magical. It was rumored that he could weave spells into every snip and every trim. Little did the customers know that while they reclined in his vintage chair, they were often unwitting scholars under his tutelage, eagerly absorbing his techniques and styles, sometimes even desiring to replicate his unique flair. Many left with their newly transformed personas, while a few brave souls took it a step further, enrolling in barbers’ colleges to master the craft for themselves.

One such young apprentice was Martin Battersby, whose life would be forever changed the day he chanced upon Leopold’s shop. Drawn in by a combination of curiosity and an insatiable passion for styles of barbering, Martin became an unwitting participant in Leopold’s grand design. It didn't take long for Martin to succumb to the allure of the craft. Under the enchanting influence of Leopold’s scissors and his captivating stories of transformation, he soon decided to resign from his prestigious position at a car dealership. The world of automobiles paled in comparison to the artistry of barbering that beckoned him like an ancient spell.

Once he commenced his studies at a local barbers’ college, it became evident that he had absorbed much of Leopold’s essence. His once unassuming demeanor shifted; he donned a new bald and bearded look that turned heads in the community. Martin was no longer the timid young man he had once been; he was now a confident barber in the making, ready to add his own chapters to the rich story of stylistic transformations begun by Leopold.

Martin quickly gained a reputation for his unique techniques. The memories of his time in Leopold’s chair fueled his creativity, and he pushed the boundaries of traditional styles. His clients marveled at his ability to elevate their grooming experience into a journey that celebrated individuality and expression.

In a few short visits into his burgeoning career, Martin showcased a remarkable talent for crafting exquisite facial hair designs. One of his proudest creations—a magnificent 18th-century mustache—became the talk of the town. Each curl and twist perfectly captured the essence of sophistication, drawing admiration from patrons old and young alike. It was a mustache to remember—a work of art borne from a combination of historical influence and the lessons etched in Martin’s memory from his time under Leopold’s spell.

Leopold, observing from the shadows of his shop, couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride for his young protégé. He recognized in Martin the same fire that had once ignited within him. In his own way, Martin had become a force of influence, guiding his clients on their own journeys of stylish transformation.

In this barber’s haven, the legacy of a German-born barber's mystical abilities continued to thrive, not merely through the styles he fostered or the customers he enchanted but through those like Martin, who carried forward the baton. They were not just barbers; they were artists, curators of self-expression, and, most importantly, defenders of the spellbinding narrative of the barber shop—a place where hair was not merely cut, but where lives were changed, one snip at a time.

"Little Heaven" - Encore Performance

So you all may have noticed my absence from the Internet since late last year. I think since we're coming up close to the show dates, I'd like to share more about the (now award-winning) local stage musical my brother and I are a part of called "LITTLE HEAVEN." Not only are we in it, but also the director asked me if I would be willing to record a number of the songs she wrote for the musical to put up online to drum up hype for our Encore Performance at the end of this coming August.

"LITTLE HEAVEN is set amidst the backdrop of post-World War II Poland and weaves together the stories of those most affected by the horrors of the past as they grapple to rebuild their lives."

01) - Dance Of Life

This song's one of my favourites that I helped record for Piper and Lori Distel. "Dance Of Life" is originally sung by "The Peddler," LITTLE HEAVEN's nameless narrator. He lives around Maél Niebo, an apartment complex that refugees, the lower class, and the disparaged call their home. He is their witness and takes an interest in the ever-changing events in their small Polish town.

"Told through song, scene and monologue, the stories of Maél Niebo's residents are intertwined, exploring themes of grief, hereditary bias and the power of community.

02) - Part Of The Plan

The song "Part Of The Plan" was originally sung by the co-writer and director herself, Lori Distel in the role of Tovah Hoffson, mother of Rachel and wife of Solomon Hoffson. After the horrific tragedy that displaced many of Maél Niebo's residents, Tovah tries to remind the community that there must be a blessing hidden in their tragedy. Sadly, her message is not welcomed by everyone.

Big thanks to my brother JERO (aka John Michael Kelly) for providing the voice for Tovah's opposition in the recording.

03) Justice For All

Justice For All paints the conflicting worldviews of the German father Leo Meier, and the Romani Maestro Marik Covali, who had been hired to teach music to the Meier daughters. JERO in this recording plays the voice of Leo while I provide the voice of the Maestro.

"Leo Meier, a newspaper reporter from Berlin, wrestles with the guilt he harbours for the small part he played in perpetuating the Reich's hateful message. Romani violin virtuoso, Maestro Covali, attempts to start anew following the tragic deaths of his wife and young daughters."

04) - Land Of Broken Dreams

"The Hoffson Family; father, mother, daughter. There were sons, too, in the days before. Twins. Then, there were thousands of sons. Thousands of daughters. Not anymore..."

And at last we come to one of the songs that I actually sing in the live production of the play, "Land Of Broken Dreams." Together, JERO and I play as David and Daniel Hoffson, the only of Solomon's children to die in the Holocaust. Twins were subjected to inhumane science experiments in the camps. In this song, Solomon wrestles with the guilt he feels over doing what he had to to save his children from a fate worse than death.

The play also touches on topics of queerness, love separated by religion and tradition, and hope - even when the world is at its darkest.

Other songs recorded by and mixed by Alexander W. Halma-Reed are also up wherever you listen to music. Click here to hear some more!

LITTLE HEAVEN Music and Lyrics by Lori Robinson Distel and Book by Piper J. Distel. Orchestrations by Alexander W. Halma-Reed. The show goes live August 29-September 2, 2024 at The Guelph Little Theatre in Guelph, Ontario Canada.

My thoughts about Dawntrail

somehow a follow-up to this post I made approx 2 weeks ago (not really, I didn't go into detail there)

It will have spoilers for Dawntrail so I'll put evrything else under the cut (and: typos ahead. I try to write an okay english, but it isn't my mother tongue and I don't want to process everything through a translator tool other than my brain)

The first half

We go to Tural to help Wuk Lamat with the Rite and I was fully aware we would be in an "Assistant Role" therefore. And that was one of my concerns to be honest. This is a game, and I want to be the main character in the JRPG (MMORPG here) I play. Might be just me, but that's how I feel. I am the "enabeling side character" for the rest of my day, let me be the hero just a few hours.

However, the story writers found a good balance between Wuk Lamat and the WoL and it felt somehow "natural". We are in her homeland, the WoL doesn't know how things work there and what Lamaty'i doesn't know too, we figure out together. It was a good journey I'd say (exept the Pelupelu, that part was annoying for me).

In fact, Yorina (in character spoken) would have enjoyed it very much (not the sun, but seeing new cultures, anrchitectures, the Yok Huy and their pictographic writings are anazing to her linguist mind) But it was good this whole Rite-journey was over after about half the expansion. I really looked forward to continue exploring the land for the sake of exploring and not a political agenda

Beginning of the second half

I start here with when you first visit Shaaloani, when you encounter the story with the corrupt sheriff. It felt like a "filler episode" to give things in the background (Lamaty'i and Koana getting into their role as rulers of Tuliyolal) time to develop. It was a fun intermezzo and I liked it (Estinien approaching was a bonus but not necessary for me but now we know that they needed him in this place later so they put him here.)

With the earthquake-explosion-dome-appearing-thing, the second story-part of the expansion started and my "Sci-Fi-and-Cyberpunk-loving heart" couldn't wait to get to the "missing" areas. Running around in Tuliyolal and helping people at first glance felt like a "unnecessary slow-down" but on the long run it helped to "feel" the situation and get a feeling about Lamaty'i's thoughts and feelings.

Heritage Found and Solution Nine are fantastic from an aesthetic point of view and I still like it there. It again was a "quest to find out about this foreign land and its residents ". And other than in the first half, I felt like being on the same level with Lamaty'i and travelling there as a fellow companion and not as some kind of "watchdog" to look after her and ensure she doesn't run off a cliff (what it was in the first half for me)

Sphene

Sphene was an interesting character imo because the writers, the translators(localization and the german voice actress (don't know about the other languages, german game-client here) made her a character I didn't trust from the first but after a few dialoges I honestly thought "maybe Zoraal Ja invaded her Kingdom (we don't know about how it was 30 years ago) and she is held hostage by him needs help because he would murder her people if she tried to get rid of him." I was wrong, I know that now and there war one point where I was sure, she wasn't held hostage or anything by him. Lamaty'i ask if she has anything to do with the attack on Tuliollal and she says (literal translation from the german line) "I would do anything to protect my people" She could have said "No", if she wasn't involved, but she didn't. She didn't lie to us (that's a good thing at least, I guess...?)

Living Memory

I'll be honest: this area caught me off guard and threw me out of the flow within seconds. My first thought "okay, here we go, this is the point where I start to hate this expansion." Coming from S9 and Heritage Found (and the sci-fi-like dungeon in between) this "20s amusement park" made me close the game after the first three dialogues. Next day, late afternoon I continued. By now, I like the "reverse Ultima Thule" idea of this zone. Shutting all those memories down made an impression on me (and working in information tecnology sector IRL made me think about if it is really necessary to store everything for eternity into some cloud storage systems when a game shows you how much energy it costs and that ressouces available will not be enough to keep these systems alive someday - it does something to me. Not that it would be new information but it made me think again)

All those quests there, the gondola ride with Raha, Krile's origin and parents, Erenville and his mother. Those were beautiful little stories but it felt "dragged out". The stories could have been handled way shorter and the last zone is the one I like the least - because of aesthetic and MSQ; the concept of a "Holodeck for the Dead" is good, it's just the execution I don't like.

The last trial

The fight was fun. And the idea of Sphene overwriting herself to be an eternal Queen who can protect all her people, is not a new concept but it is fitting here.

BUT: why this transition into the second phase of the fight. Why did they decide Lamaty'i had to do the "Gaia in Eden" move and break into the battle arena to save the day?! I don't hate Lalamty'i, I really don't. She is a great character with a wonderful character development, but in this moment, I wanted to kick her out of the arena and scream in that directon to let the WoL have their "hero moment"

WoL is a nobody there, I know that (even though I really don't buy that they didn't have noticed the final days, that they didn't know about the hero who saved the world, but that's a overall problem in this game) But let me be the hero in "my" game. I am sure Lamaty'i would not have fallen into despair if WoL defeaded Sphene.

But that's my only real issue with Dawntrail MSQ

The additional Content

The additional content (lvl 100 Dungeons, Raids, Rolequests, Crafter/Gatherer-quests) looks fun so far. The "cactuar-dungeon" has some annoying mechanics but they are only annoying as long as I don't understand them. It will get better. The normal raid is fun from a gameplay pov, interessting from a story pov (I am not a savage raider so nothing to that from me)

I still wand my guest room /apartement in S9 but I don't think I will ever get one ^^''

And that is everything I want to say at this point. Dawntrail was way better than I expected but my expectations were really low anyway. I had fun and am looking forward to the patch content :-)

"OC" FILES: Danilo & Bastian

...The fact that there's one last month before the winter holidays makes me hopeful... Can't guarantee how active I'll be during June, but at least want to try and bring one last thing for May.

First off, I recommend checking this post out, about two "mysterious" Brockenborg players (That I believe were just mistakes/placeholders by the animators). They are SO unnoticed, that not even the japanese found out about them. At first I wasn't planning to include them in my setting, but then... Guess I changed my mind.

The one in the left is Danilo Gomez; and he is one of the many kids called for the mysterious project "Operation Sicherung"; that would lead later on onto the creation of Brockenborg. Oddly enough Danilo wasn't born in actual Germany, but in Mallorca of the spanish Isles Balears: The home of a huge german population favoured by its climate and easy accesibility. It is to say however that some germans actually tried adapting to the local culture and some did not, and unfortunately Danilo's from the latter group. If it wasn't that O.S started first, then he would have been called to play for the Spanish Community Cup instead (Alongside Joan!) and it wouldn't have been fun at all. Trust me, he does not know neither catalan or spanish except for few words…

The right one is Bastian Friedrich, the son of a wealthy conglomerate that is one of the biggest sponsors of Operation Sicherung. So his recruitment in the national selection might be nepotism or not (The german selector insists he got onto Brockenborg by his skills). He's the typical spoiled rich kid, nothing new, and he doesn't get very well with his "strange" Central Germany teammates like Maxim or Thorsten. Maybe with Danilo at least, but that's because both eventually get to share the same fate in the german team.

After a pitful performance during the Euroleague, the german coach decided to do a rough change and kick both off the team. The choice was final and there were no buts, at least until both Danilo and Bastian's sad (fake) puppy faces were enough to touch their coach's heart and win a spot in BB… As managers. It isn't easy, because they now have to share chores AND manage the residence of the team both during the FFI qualifiers in Berlin and also in Liocott. They have to prepare Kurt's kartoffelsalat, they need to help out Manuel create his sausages, they need to clean up whatever mess Maxim or their other teammates cause (Otherwise they'll have to face Erwin's rage), and most of all, they are the ones in charge when the coach isn't around. They tend to let their ego take over in this particular task. If you're familiar with the series Recess, well...

Nonetheless, neither of the two complain about their job, mostly because its better than watching BB play at home (And you get free holidays at an island). Either way I'll admit, as you can see I've been wanting to add some managers to this team… I mean, if Inazuma Japan can walk around with three girls and Megane, what's stopping the germans to do the same too!? Maybe I'll create more, maybe not... For now they are stuck with these two.

Here's them on Gacha Club btw because they deserve it... And also because I couldn't even bother drawing them atm.

Mythical Creature AU - Part 1/3 │ Diabolik Lovers

Hey I am posting? Insane right. This is for Halloween since I am kinda bored (wrote that in two days while writing an OC halloween one shot for friends haha). This is Part 1/4, the others will be posten on the next few days!!! Here is a little overview of how Mermen/Sirens work in this universe~

Mermen - Strictly fresh water creatures, they will drown in salt water. Their tales are smaller than Sirens but their fins are larger in comparison. They have more vibrant and light colours.

Siren - Sirens are salt water creatures and drown in fresh water. Other than their fresh water counterpart they eat mostly humans and are natural predators with an alluring outside and ability to switch genders, though it drains their energie quite a bit.

Next -> Shu, Yuma

Kou

Mermaid

Kou has a light blue tail with flowy fins on either side and one large one, similar to a butterfly betta on the end. The ends are a cream white and it seems to spread further with each year passing

He lives in a lake in Romania where he found shelter after escaping the facility he was experimented on. He doesn't quite remember how exactly he got there but remembers a man with white hair carrying him to the water to help him heal his wounds. Since then he hasn't left the lake, thinking that this is a safe place

Only locals know about his presence and he gets offerings quite often as they think of him as a sort of deity. That is until a few hunters trace the lake for him and take him hostage 

He wakes up in a tank in a living room not being able to go up for air except for scheduled times

The room is full of sketches of mermaids, about their skeletons and general autonomy 

A man explains how important his scales are and that he made a nice decoration. The man soon introduces himself as Reiji Sakamaki, a known hunter for mythical creatures and collector of the such

He speaks sufficient Romanian but Kou knows they aren't in Romania. Outside of communication with him, he talks a language he never heard of 

Kou misses the people admiring him and soon begins to just lay on the ground, that is until a strange young man enters 

He smells something similar to mermaids but Kou doesnt quite know what it is

That man, later revealing himself as Shin Tsukinami, explains to Kou that he is a Siren and far superior to Freshwater creatures like Mermaids 

Kou still follows him as they try to find where he comes from though it gets interrupted by his singing getting more and more recognition until he becomes a popstar though his English is still broken (he later learns the common language mythical creatures use which only takes him a week with the help of one of Shins spells as he was too frustrated to teach him)

Shin

Siren 

Shin comes from a prestigious family tree of Sirens living in the North sea/German sea that, due to constant boat traffic and the two wars, got completely wiped out 

He and his brother reside in a small town in England and only rarely go back to the sea, though still believing themselves to be the strongest of them all as their so called “original merfolk” and have abilities others lost over time

His tale is a dark blue with a shorter and see through thin at the end a spiky thin going over the entire back of his tail. Dark blue scales cover his body and he posses a row of slightly sharper teeth than normal for humans or other merfolk

He knows about the people that are after him and his brother but tries to make ties with half breds as he calls them

That is also how he sees Kou for the first time

Reiji is known to be a collector type but he didn't think he would keep an actual mermaid

For a second he thought about abandoning the guy as punishment for even being so careless as to get caught but ultimately cant and saves him, almost getting killed in the process

Kou helps his injuries but Shin finds out quite quickly that this mermaid isn't as humble as the ones he came to know before and in fact even matches his sassiness 

He promises to help him  find where he came from though it turns into him catching feelings. Shin tries to not show it but after they meet Subaru he gets so jealous that he starts killing people and blame it on the Mermaid living in the lake, getting Subaru killed and Kou believing he is a bad person 

Shin believes Kou looked through his act for a long time as they start travelling the world together to find that lake and maybe Kous origins, what slowly begins to nag at his sanity until he snaps and pulls Kou into the salt water, slowly drowning him 

Subaru

Mermaid

Subaru is the first person they encounter in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. He is the descendant of a mermaid commonly called the Lorelei

He doesn't live far away from the kliff she is said to have killed herself after she caused many man to change their course into the rock formation upon seeing her beauty

He hates the way those men lusted after his mother and lives alone until they come along and how it caused him to be raised by a friend of the family, though he doesn't really talk to the old man anymore. Subaru vaguely knows about a promise that he made to his mother, that if people should die because of Subaru he were instructed to end his life instantly

His tale is completely white and eerily similar to Kous, though significantly smaller fins

He doesn't like talking and mostly resides in the depths of the river sleeping in an undiscovered small cave. Kou, who is able to breathe underwater other than Shin tries to find answers and is very persistent about it

He often talks about how Subaru has everything he would want and still acts like a spoiled brat because his mommy died and wasn't a good person. They still somehow get along and get closer. This caused Subaru to be out more.

They spend a lot of time together and Subaru opens up to Kou but all that gets interrupted by sudden deaths around the area. First it was guys and then turned into women and even children that drowned in the part of the river. DUe to this happening in the span of a few weeks, his caretaker takes matters into his own hands as he promised his mother and shoots Subaru at the top of the cliff

Anatomy of a Scene

List A Movie : Casablanca -

The screenplay was adapted from a play of no great consequence; memoirs tell of scraps of dialogue jotted down and rushed over to the set. What must have helped is that the characters were firmly established in the minds of the writers, and they were characters so close to the screen personas of the actors that it was hard to write dialogue in the wrong tone. The opening scenes dance with comedy; the dialogue combines the cynical with the weary; wisecracks with epigrams. We see that Rick moves easily in a corrupt world. “What is your nationality?” the German Strasser asks him, and he replies, “I’m a drunkard.” His personal code: “I stick my neck out for nobody.” The dialogue is so spare and cynical it has not grown old-fashioned. Much of the emotional effect of “Casablanca” is achieved by indirection; as we leave the theater, we are absolutely convinced that the only thing keeping the world from going crazy is that the problems of three little people do after all amount to more than a hill of beans.

List B Movie : Lost in Translation -

Two lonely souls find solace in each other on the streets of Tokyo. The core protagonist of Lost in Translation, is Bob, a struggling actor from the United States who’s past his prime. He has come to Tokyo because he has been recruited to advertise a local brand of whiskey, and is staying at the Park Hyatt in Tokyo. As we clearly come to see in the minutes to come, he is deeply and utterly miserable, and he doesn’t really care for learning about the country he is residing in for the next few weeks. He’s also struggling at home with a midlife crisis and his marriage, but, as it turns out, he’s not the only one struggling with the circumstances of his life. What puts me in conflict is how it might perpetuate stereotypes about Japan because it’s touristy and eye-roll at some points. I once read this brilliant essay a while back by Moeko Fuji, and that shaped a bit of my perspective here.

This is what I was able to capture from both of the movies I decided to watch.

Why Study in Germany? Here’s Why It’s a Top Choice for International Students

When it comes to studying abroad, Germany is a name that stands out. It's not only known for its engineering marvels, historical sites, and cultural richness but also as an educational powerhouse. So, you might be asking yourself, why study in Germany? What makes it so appealing to students from around the globe? Let’s explore the reasons together and see why studying in Germany could be the best decision you make for your future.

1. High-Quality Education System

One of the primary reasons why students study in Germany is because of its globally recognized education system. German universities consistently rank among the best in the world, offering top-notch programs in diverse fields like engineering, technology, business, and the arts. But it’s not just about the big names like Technische Universität München or Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich; even lesser-known German universities have high academic standards and experienced faculty members dedicated to student success.

German degrees carry significant weight, respected worldwide by employers and academics alike. Whether you pursue an undergraduate program, a master's degree, or a PhD, your study in Germany journey will likely enhance your career prospects.

2. Affordability: Low or No Tuition Fees

It’s a surprise to many students that public universities in Germany do not charge tuition fees for undergraduate programs. Yes, you read that right! In most cases, students only need to pay a small semester fee, which is far lower than tuition fees in other popular study destinations like the United States or the United Kingdom.

The cost-effective nature of German education attracts students worldwide, making it easier to access quality education without financial strain. For students with limited resources or those looking to avoid heavy student loans, why study in Germany is quickly answered by the affordability factor.

3. Opportunities for English-Language Programs

Many students worry about language barriers, but Germany has made tremendous strides in offering English-taught programs, especially at the postgraduate level. Whether you’re fluent in German or just know a few basic phrases, you can still succeed in an English-speaking environment. Over 1,500 English-language programs are available in fields like business, engineering, and social sciences.

If you're concerned about integrating into a new culture or learning a new language, you’ll find that German universities offer excellent resources to help international students feel at home.

4. A Gateway to Career Opportunities

Germany is home to some of the world’s leading companies, including BMW, Siemens, SAP, and Bosch, which makes it a promising place to build a career after graduation. Many degree programs include internship components or partnerships with local industries, giving students valuable hands-on experience.

German universities also have strong connections with employers, making it easier for students to gain internships, research opportunities, and even employment after graduation. With Germany’s strong economy and demand for skilled professionals in fields like engineering, IT, and healthcare, why study in Germany is evident for those looking to launch their careers successfully.

Moreover, German student visas offer opportunities for post-study work. After graduation, international students are allowed to stay in Germany for up to 18 months while looking for a job, with the possibility of obtaining a permanent residency if they secure long-term employment.

5. The Cultural Experience of a Lifetime

Studying abroad is more than just academics—it’s about cultural immersion. In Germany, students get the best of both worlds: a solid education and an incredible cultural experience. Germany boasts some of Europe’s most picturesque cities, from the cosmopolitan capital of Berlin to the medieval charm of Heidelberg.

Festivals like Oktoberfest, Christmas markets, and the Karneval season allow international students to soak up German traditions and connect with locals. Not to mention the food! German pretzels, sausages, and schnitzels are just a few of the delicious staples students enjoy.

6. Strong Support Systems for International Students

German universities have a strong support system designed to help international students adjust to life in a new country. Universities offer orientation programs, language courses, and counseling services. Many also have dedicated staff to guide students through administrative processes like visa applications, health insurance, and residence permits.

While it’s always helpful to seek guidance from an overseas education consultant (we’ll get to that later), German universities go the extra mile to ensure students have all the resources they need.

7. Safe and Comfortable Living Conditions

Germany is known for its high quality of life and safety. Most German cities have excellent public transportation systems, making it easy to get around even if you’re new to the country. Student accommodation is affordable, and there are options for both on-campus housing and private rentals. In general, Germany is considered a safe country, with low crime rates compared to other popular study destinations.

The Role of an Overseas Education Consultant in Your Study Abroad Journey

With all these benefits, the next logical question might be, “How do I begin my journey to study in Germany?” This is where an overseas education consultant can be incredibly helpful. From choosing the right university and program to navigating the complex application process, consultants are there to simplify every step of your journey.

They can provide insights into the German education system, help with visa applications, and even assist in finding scholarships or financial aid options. While the application process can seem daunting, especially when dealing with a foreign language and system, an overseas education consultant brings the expertise and experience needed to ease the process.

Tips to Maximize Your Study in Germany Experience

Learn Basic German: Even if your course is in English, learning some German will enrich your experience, especially in everyday life.

Explore Beyond Academics: Take time to travel around Europe, as Germany’s central location makes it easy to visit other countries on a budget.

Network and Build Connections: Many German companies value connections, so internships and networking events can be a great way to start your career.

Stay Informed about Visa Regulations: Understand the visa requirements to make sure you can fully enjoy your time in Germany without unexpected complications.

Wrapping Up: Why Study in Germany?

By now, you have a clear picture of why studying in Germany is a smart choice for international students. From affordable education and career opportunities to an enriching cultural experience, Germany offers everything you need to succeed both academically and personally.

If you’re serious about study in Germany, consider connecting with an overseas education consultant to guide you through the application process. With the right support and preparation, studying in Germany could be the transformative experience that opens doors to a world of opportunities. So, are you ready to start your journey?

Best immigration consultant in delhi

If you’re navigating the permanent residency (PR) process for Canada, Australia, or Germany, preparing for winter and understanding residency requirements are key aspects of your transition. Canadian winters are particularly harsh, with temperatures frequently dropping below 0°C, while Australia and Germany offer a range of climates. Picking the right winter jacket can make a big difference, especially when moving to regions with unpredictable weather. This guide covers essential insights on winter preparation and the PR process for Canada, Australia, and Germany.

Preparing for Winter

When considering permanent residency in Canada, Australia, or Germany, understanding climate differences is crucial. Whether you're working with Canada PR consultants, Australian PR consultants, or Germany PR consultants, preparation for varied climates will help ensure a smoother transition. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Expected Temperatures: In Canada, cities like Vancouver are milder with wet winters, while Toronto faces colder, often icy conditions. Regions in central and northern Canada have extreme lows, such as -19°C in Regina during January. Germany has varied winter climates, while Australia’s milder winters can still feel chilly in certain regions.

Choosing the Right Jacket: For newcomers, warm, waterproof, and windproof jackets are essential for Canadian winters. Parkas, puffer jackets, and wool coats are ideal for different climates across Canada, Germany, and Australia. Parkas offer heavy insulation and water resistance, while puffer jackets are versatile and suited for layering. Wool coats add style but lack water resistance, making them suitable for drier German winters.

Types of Insulation: When relocating, especially through global talent streams in Canada, Australia, or Germany, picking jackets with appropriate insulation—down for warmth or synthetic for water resistance—is recommended for your first winter abroad.

Budget Considerations: Budget options start at around $50, while high-end brands such as Canada Goose or Arc'teryx offer premium options for harsh winters. Mid-range choices from brands like The North Face provide a balance between quality and cost.

Navigating the PR Process and Requirements

Each country has unique pathways and requirements for permanent residency. Consulting with professionals who specialize in Canada immigration, Australia immigration, or Germany immigration can streamline the process, especially if you're applying from India or seeking a provincial nomination (like BCPNP or MPNP for Canada).

Canada PR Process: Canada offers various pathways for PR, including express entry, provincial nominee programs (e.g., BCPNP, MPNP, NBPMP), and spousal sponsorship. These programs have specific criteria, such as work experience, language proficiency, and educational qualifications. Consultants can guide you through each step, from document preparation to application submission.

Australia PR Process: Australia's PR pathways, like the Skilled Migration Program, allow skilled professionals to work and live in Australia. The Global Talent Stream in Australia also targets specialized talent in fields such as tech and medicine, easing the immigration process for qualified individuals.

Germany PR Process : Germany offers options like the EU Blue Card and employment-based visas, making it possible for skilled workers to obtain residency. Consultants can assist with the application process and explain requirements like work contracts and proof of language proficiency.

Studying and Working Abroad

Countries like Canada, Australia, and Germany provide work and study opportunities for immigrants, making it easier to gain local experience. Programs for study and work facilitate cultural adjustment and open pathways to PR. Immigration consultants can help identify the best routes to achieve your career and residency goals, whether in education, employment, or both.

Immigrating to a new country means facing unique challenges, from adapting to climate to understanding immigration requirements. Proper winter attire ensures you stay comfortable as you settle in, and expert immigration advice helps navigate complex residency processes. With the right preparation, you can embrace your new life abroad with confidence.

How to Prepare for Your First Year of Study in Germany

Studying abroad can be a transformative experience, and starting your first year in Germany brings exciting opportunities, challenges, and adventures. Known for its exceptional education system and vibrant culture, Germany is a top destination for international students. Here’s a guide to help you prepare for your studies in Germany, from getting familiar with the German lifestyle to understanding academic expectations.

1. Research and Understand the German Education System

Germany’s education system might be different from what you’re used to, especially if you’re coming from outside Europe. German universities emphasize independent study, research, and practical experience, allowing students to gain in-depth knowledge in their fields. If you're attending a semester abroad in Germany, familiarize yourself with your program structure and credit requirements, as they may vary based on the institution and field of study. Courses often focus on self-directed learning, so it’s essential to adapt to a more autonomous approach to education.

2. Financial Planning and Budgeting

Germany is known for its affordability compared to other European countries, but you’ll still need a solid financial plan. Start by calculating your monthly expenses, including accommodation, food, transport, and study materials. International students can also apply for scholarships or part-time jobs to support their finances. Many universities offer guidance on budgeting and cost-effective living. Some students enrolled in master programs in Germany may find scholarship opportunities directly through their universities, so be sure to explore these options early.

3. Language Preparation

While many German universities offer programs in English, knowing some basic German will help you integrate into the community and make daily tasks easier. Enroll in a German language course before your arrival, or take advantage of free resources to learn foundational phrases. Having a basic grasp of the language will ease your transition and make everyday interactions smoother. If you’re considering a Master of Science in Germany, remember that many advanced programs might include some German coursework or involve interactions with German-speaking professionals, so language skills are beneficial.

4. Accommodation Search

Securing a place to live should be high on your priority list, as student housing in popular German cities can fill up quickly. You can choose from dormitories, shared apartments, or private accommodations. University residence halls are usually more affordable and located close to campus. Begin your search as soon as you receive your acceptance letter to avoid any last-minute hassles. Websites and student forums are helpful resources for finding housing, as are local student organizations, which often have networks and tips on affordable housing.

5. Getting to Know Your City

Whether you’re heading to Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, or a smaller university town, every city in Germany has its own charm. Research local attractions, transportation options, and cultural highlights to get an idea of what your new home has to offer. Knowing the area around your university will also help you find essential services like grocery stores, pharmacies, and medical clinics, so you feel more at ease upon arrival.

6. Understand German Culture and Etiquette

German culture is known for its directness, punctuality, and orderliness. While Germans are welcoming, understanding local etiquette can help you navigate social situations better. For instance, punctuality is highly valued, so always aim to be on time for classes and appointments. Additionally, Germans appreciate privacy and may appear reserved initially, but are warm once relationships are established. Take the time to immerse yourself in the culture, as it will enrich your study experience.

7. Academic Preparedness

German universities are known for their rigorous academic standards. Be prepared for a more self-directed learning style, where you’ll be expected to manage your coursework and projects independently. Reading materials are usually provided in advance, so make use of these to stay ahead. For students pursuing a Master of Science in Germany, understanding the curriculum’s research components and laboratory work will help you succeed in your program.

8. Join Student Networks and Organizations

Connecting with fellow students is a great way to feel part of the community. Many German universities have student associations, clubs, and networks where you can meet people from diverse backgrounds. These groups often organize events and activities that can help you socialize, share experiences, and make lasting friendships.

9. Manage Your Health Insurance and Documents

Health insurance is mandatory for all students in Germany, and you’ll need to ensure you have valid coverage before enrolling at your university. Many universities provide guidance on selecting suitable health insurance plans for international students. Additionally, keep copies of essential documents, such as your passport, visa, admission letter, and health insurance information, both digitally and physically.

10. Embrace New Experiences and Enjoy Your Journey

Starting your studies in Germany is a unique journey filled with personal growth and exploration. Be open to new experiences, explore the country’s diverse landscapes, and enjoy local traditions and festivities. Adjusting to a new country might come with challenges, but each experience adds to your global perspective and helps shape your future.

Preparing for your first year in Germany might feel overwhelming, but with careful planning, you’ll settle into this new chapter smoothly. From academic adjustments to exploring the country’s rich culture, Germany offers a fulfilling educational journey that equips you for success both in and beyond the classroom. Enjoy this exciting opportunity to learn, grow, and discover all that studying in Germany has to offer!

How to Prepare for Your Master’s in Germany: Tips for International Students

Germany is increasingly becoming a top destination for international students seeking a Master’s degree. Renowned for its world-class universities, affordable education, and robust economy, studying in Germany offers a wealth of opportunities. However, preparing for a Master’s program in a foreign country requires careful planning. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you’re fully prepared for your Master’s in Germany.

1. Understanding the German Higher Education System

Germany offers two main types of institutions for Master’s studies: traditional universities (Universitäten) and universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen). While traditional universities are research-focused, universities of applied sciences emphasize practical and professional training. It’s important to choose the institution that aligns with your career goals.

Master’s programs in Germany typically last two years and follow the Bologna system, which is standardized across Europe. You’ll need to complete a certain number of credits to earn your degree, with a strong focus on research or practical work depending on your field of study.

2. Application Process

The application process for German universities can vary depending on the program and institution. Start by researching the specific entry requirements for your chosen course. Common requirements include a recognized bachelor’s degree, language proficiency (either in German or English), and letters of recommendation.

Applications are often submitted through platforms like Uni-Assist or directly to the university. Make sure to keep track of deadlines, which typically fall between January and July for programs starting in the winter semester.

3. Language Preparation

Even if your program is taught in English, learning German will significantly enhance your experience living and studying in Germany. Not only will it help you navigate daily life, but many part-time job opportunities also require German proficiency.

There are plenty of resources available for learning German, including online courses, language apps, and in-person classes. If you are serious about improving your German, consider taking the Goethe Institute’s courses or finding a language partner through student organizations.

4. Financial Considerations

While tuition fees at public universities in Germany are often minimal or even free, students must still cover living expenses. These costs can vary depending on the city you live in. For example, living in Munich or Frankfurt is more expensive than smaller cities like Leipzig or Dresden.

It’s also important to budget for additional costs such as semester fees, health insurance, and textbooks. Creating a budget early on will help you manage your finances effectively during your stay.

5. Scholarships and Funding Opportunities

There are several scholarships available for international students in Germany. The DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) offers a wide range of scholarships for different fields of study. Other options include Erasmus+ and university-specific scholarships.

In addition to scholarships, students in Germany are allowed to work part-time for up to 20 hours per week during the semester, which can help supplement your income. Be mindful, though, that balancing work and studies can be challenging.

6. Student Visa and Residence Permit

International students from outside the EU/EEA will need to apply for a student visa. The process requires proof of admission, financial resources (around €11,208 per year in a blocked account), health insurance, and accommodation details.

Once in Germany, you must register your residence at the local Bürgeramt (registration office) within two weeks of arrival. After that, apply for a residence permit for the duration of your studies.

7. Accommodation Options

Securing accommodation before arriving in Germany is crucial. Most universities offer student dormitories, which are often the most affordable option. Alternatively, you can rent private apartments or share flats (Wohngemeinschaft or WG) with other students.

It’s best to start looking for accommodation early, especially if you are planning to study in popular cities like Berlin or Munich, where student housing is in high demand.

8. Cultural and Social Life

Germany is a culturally rich country, and understanding its societal norms will help you integrate more smoothly. Germans value punctuality, efficiency, and orderliness, which are reflected in both personal and professional interactions.

As an international student, you will have plenty of opportunities to meet people from diverse backgrounds. Many universities offer cultural exchange programs, language tandems, and international student organizations where you can make new friends and learn about different cultures.

9. Health Insurance and Medical Care

Health insurance is mandatory for all students in Germany. You can choose between public and private health insurance, although most international students opt for public insurance due to its comprehensive coverage and lower cost.

In the case of medical care, Germany has a high standard of healthcare, and as a student, you’ll have access to doctors, hospitals, and specialists across the country.

10. Academic Expectations

German universities place a strong emphasis on independent study, critical thinking, and research. Unlike some other educational systems, the academic environment in Germany is less about spoon-feeding information and more about self-motivation. Be prepared for a higher level of personal responsibility.

Group work is also common, as is presenting your research findings in seminars or conferences. Engaging in these activities will help you thrive academically.

11. Navigating German Bureaucracy

German bureaucracy can be overwhelming, but it’s an essential part of your experience. Beyond registering your residence and applying for a residence permit, you’ll need to open a bank account, sign up for health insurance, and enroll at the university.

Fortunately, most universities offer orientation programs to guide international students through these processes. It’s helpful to stay organized and make copies of important documents.

12. Traveling Around Germany and Europe

Germany’s central location in Europe makes it easy to explore other countries during your time off. The Schengen visa allows you to travel to other European countries without the need for additional visas.

Germany also has an excellent public transportation system, and students often receive discounts on trains and buses. This makes traveling across the country affordable and convenient.

13. Support Systems for International Students

Most German universities provide comprehensive support systems for international students. From pre-arrival guidance to student orientation programs, there are numerous resources to help you navigate life in Germany.

Additionally, many universities have international student offices, where you can get advice on academic and personal matters, and student mentors can offer support during your transition.

Conclusion

Preparing for your Master’s in Germany requires thorough planning, from selecting the right program to understanding the cultural nuances. By following these steps, you’ll set yourself up for a successful and enriching study experience in one of Europe’s leading academic destinations.
