This can be confusing for international students. In this case, the consultant will assist in booking tickets for the airport closest to the apartment with various price options.

Health Insurance Service

Similar to German students, international students from Indonesia are also required to have health insurance. There are several types of insurance available on the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages for international students from non-EU countries such as Indonesia. Insurance policies protect prospective students from unforeseen accidents or illnesses that may occur during their studies.  This is regardless of the purpose of their visit, whether as a university student, a Studienkolleg student or simply a language learner. The price of the insurance is also determined by the age of the student.

When selecting a place to live during the study, students who are unfamiliar with the environment and types of apartments and rental systems, which literally are different from Indonesia may find the process confusing. Consulting agency can assist in finding information about the types of accommodation available on the market, as well as the conditions of the surrounding environment, to promote a comfort in the living space. In general, there are two types of accommodation available: living with a local family or rent an apartment.

In addition, students have the option to rent e-scooters or bicycles through a university app. Shopping options include malls, supermarkets, traditional markets, and other retail locations.

Scholarship Service

Scholarships are available for international students in a variety of fields of study at most universities and educational institutions. Merit-based scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and potential. Other types of scholarships may be in the form of financial aid for students who may be experiencing financial difficulties but who have an excellent academic record. The agency provides information that is tailored to meet the needs of different fields of study.

Part-Time Work Information Service

One way for students to help lower the financial burden of attending university is to work part-time. In Germany, students have the opportunity to work a maximum of 20 hours per week while studying, according to BMBF. To address this problem, the agency provides information on how to find a part-time job and on how to apply specifically for student jobs. Indeed, the search for additional funding may also be an option, and this experience can also be a way to build networks that may be useful in the future. Getting involved in activities outside of the campus or apartment can provide a needed break and unique international experiences. Apart from that, it can relieve boredom and offer once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
