Definitely learning a different language in the country which speaks that language will speed up the process three times faster than trying to learn it in a class room in a country which does not speak the language in which you are learning.

“My experience at the University of Bayreuth”
Arianit B
Germany, Graduate
Economics, 2022
Overall
My Master at the University of Bayreuth has been a great experience for me. The overall high quality of education at the University of Bayreuth and the warm environment for International Students makes it a perfect Institution to study either as a German student or as an International. I have improved my German skills during my Master degree by communicating with German students and also I have had the opportunity to participate in many other things that the University of Bayreuth offers. The degree of Philosophy and Economics I think was very helpful to prepare me for an Internship.

Pros
Challenging, Inducing self-study, variety of courses, opportunity to participate in language courses, sports, research seminars
Cons
