PRO – Go abroad
You probably already know exactly what advantages a master's degree abroad has. You realize that you can improve your foreign language skills enormously. You are aware that you will immerse yourself in new cultures, strengthen your intercultural competence and make many international contacts. You know that studying abroad adds immense value to your biography and that the master's abroad makes you very attractive to many companies.
You know the benefits. However, you may still be undecided. That's why you should imagine yourself starting to think and dream in a foreign language after a few months. How to meet other international students to study. Or in the pub. How your experiences shed a whole new light on you and the people and things that really mean something to you. Last but not least: During your stay abroad you have the chance to get to know a very special person. Yourself! And if that feels good to you, you shouldn't hesitate for a moment longer. Off to abroad!

CONS: Master abroad
"Why look into the distance? A master's degree in Germany is of high quality, diverse and impresses with its very good “price-performance ratio”. Anyone who studies a consecutive master's degree at a German state university does not pay more than the usual semester fee. Students in the USA and Great Britain can only dream of this. This is also the reason why foreign students have valued the German education system for years. German education has a very good reputation abroad because word gets around about quality. In addition, Germany has the most universities in the world after the USA and Great Britain. This diversity is of course also reflected in the structuring of the master's degree programs. The different types of universities in Germany rely on innovative training concepts. In addition to the classic master's degree at a university or technical college, there are increasingly dual masters, which guarantee early contact with the employer thanks to their practical relevance. A German master’s degree is an excellent ticket for a career in Germany.”
