Studying in Jena
1. The German University System
General information
Those who wish to study in Germany have a choice between different
types of institutes of higher learning: universities, technical universities,
universities of applied sciences, music and art academies. The decision
about which type of university is the right one for you depends on the aims
you have in studying. There is information available for all of the various
types of institutions of higher learning. We particularly recommend that you
take a look at the wesite of the Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst
(DAAD), in which you will find an answer to virtually all questions regarding
studying in Germany: www.daad.de.
Information about Universities of Applied Sciences
These universities are a distinctive feature of Germany and have a relatively young tradition. They were founded in the 1960s. The courses of
study they offer are primarily in areas related to engineering disciplines,
economic fields and dem social studies. They are characterised by having
shorter studying times, tight study durations and a greater emphasis on
being practice oriented. The qualification achieved at a technical university
is currently still Diploma (FH). Newly matriculated students will complete
their studies with the qualification Bachelor or Master as; in the coming
years (up until 2010) all Fachhochschulen will change their study system
system to that of bachelor and master degrees. Already, about a quarter of
all students starting studying in German at institutes of higher learning has
decided to embark on studying at universities of applied sciences. In individual subject areas such as engineering, more than half of all graduates
were from German “Fachhochschulen”.
2. The University of Applied Sciences Jena
2.1 The past and the
present
1991
founding of the FH Jena as one of the first Universities of Applied
Sciences in East Germany
2006
Anniversary of 15 years FH Jena
today Today the FH Jena counts 5.000 students
The FH Jena oofers three diferent directions of study:
Engineering
Economy
Social Science
Currently, the eight departments of the Jena University of Applied Sciences
offer 34 Bachelor and Master programs.
In the interest of a scientifically profound and practically oriented
-3-
education, the university cooperates with universities in Europe and
beyond.
There is also an intensive cooperation with various industries: worldfamous companies like Zeiss, Jenoptik, Siemens, IBM, and the industrial
research institutions in Jena represent modern technology, up-to-date
management and scientific innovation.
2.2 Location
After extensive renovation and redesigning, all disciplines of the FH Jena,
the university administration and the central library with their patent and
research office are located at the campus at Carl-Zeiss-Promenade 2.
The whole campus occupies an area extending, in total, over more than
28.000 m² of main area of use.
You can reach the campus of the FH Jena via the Autobahn exit Jena Göschwitz and then driving via Jena - Winzerla, the commercial area in the
south to Tatzendpromenade/ Carl-Zeiss-Promenade. Coming from the city
centre, you can reach the FH Jena with the bus lines 10, 13 and 40: bus
stop “Fachhochschule“. We recommend the use of public transport as
parking facilities at the university FH Jena are very limited. A site map is
available on the cover page.
2.3 Central facilities
The FH Jena has its own specialist library with a stock of more than
250,000 volumes. In the open acccess lending library, there are more than
100,000 volumes and over 800 periodicals available. There is an extensive
supply of standards and patent documents. In 2002, the library was
awarded the status of Patent Information Office (PIO) from the German
Patent and Trademark Office, Munich.
The services provided by the library and the library catalogue can be called
up and used by accessing online the URL www.fh-jena.de/bib in the internet. At the library, there are lending facilities, (also with long-distance lending online), rooms for group work and a reading room with modern online
facilities enabling users to link up to international databank facilities and
the possibility of CD-ROM research. In addition, there is the possibility of
access to diploma dissertations and the possibility of contract research. In
order to make use of the library’s facilities, you will need to register there
as a user. The opening times are printed in the appendix.
Students are also entitled to use the computer pools of the FH Jena,
following registration for this service. Recently, the possibility has been
created of allowing one’s own laptop to be released for use in the FH network, as well as our own internal WLAN.
The central contact point is the Service Zentrum Informatik (see appendix).
Food and drinks are provided for students in the students dining hall and
cafeterias of the Association for Student Affairs, at various locations on
the campus. In Jena you can find three students dining hall and six cafeterias. The most important are:
- a smaler students dining hall at Philosophenweg (near city center)
- in the city center the students dining hall at Ernst-Abbe-Platz
- the students dining hall at Carl-Zeiss-Promenade is the closest to
the FH Jena and is used together with the staff of Carl Zeiss Jena
GmbH
- at House 5 of the FH Jena you can find a cafeteria
-4-
The range of food on offer is of an exceptionally wide ranging. The prices
are affordable as a complete meal can start at just 1.50 €. Information
about the menu can be requested at http://www.stwthueringen.de/de/menu-unten/speiseplaene.html.
Those who are interested in participating in sport can make use of the
wide range of sports on offer at the FH Jena and the Friedrich – Schiller –
University. Sports on offer, training times and locations are announced at
the beginning of the semester. Registration normally takes place during the
first week after the start of lectures. If applicable, a fee may be levied.
Please ask about this. The sports representative of the FH Jena is Mr.
Schaarschmidt (please refer to the appendix).
Efforts are constantly being made to extend the range of sports offered
(badminton, basketball, fitness and weight lifting (in the TC‘s own fitness
centre), indoor football, judo/self-defence, carate, table tennis, volleyball,
aerobics etc.). Information about sports courses can also be obtained by
going to the website www.fh-jena.de/index.php/browse/252.
3. The Organisation of Study
3.1 Important dates of
the semester
The academic year is divided into two equal semesters. The winter term
starts in September and ends in February, the summer term lasts from
March till August. The key details are available in the internet at the URL:
www.fh-jena.de/index.php/browse/255. Changes can occur in case of
changing circumstances. The students´ secretariat can provide further information (see appendix).
3.2 Types of degrees
The bachelor’s degree is a university degree providing an occupational
qualification. The period of study is normally 6-7 semesters and equips
students with the ability to carry out a wide range of activities and to be
employed in a wide range of occupations. In addition, the bachelor’s degree
is a prerequisite for acceptance for studying for a master’s degree.
The master’s degree provides an occupational qualification building on a
bachelor´s degree. The period of study for a master’s degree is normally 34 semesters and serves the purpose of extending and deepening knowledge and ability gained from a bachelor’s degree. The master’s degree
forms the basis for studying for a doctorate.
Bachelor’s and master’s degrees have a modular construction. This means
that they are built up in terms of content and duration from complete teaching and learning units: modules. The organisation and duration of the
courses of study are different for different specialist subjects. You are therefore advised to obtain relevant information from the relevant faculty or department.
3.3 Lectures and teaching programmes
Various types of academic instruction and learning courses exist. At FH
Jena teaching is practised in lectures, exercises, seminars and laboratory
practical exercises.
In lectures the academic instructor gives a lecture on a particular subject
without or little interaction with the students on a highly theoretical level.
-5-
The aim of an exercise is to deepen the theoretical material covered in
lectures by means of practical exercises. This requires and promotes the
active participation of students.
Seminars are another form of lecture. They difffer only in the extent of the
possible participation of the students as discussions or presentations are
desired. Laboratory practical exercises are subject-based exercises in a
laboratory, studio or computer pool. In those exercises special working
techniques are practised under conditions similar to those encountered in
practice.
3.4 Types of final
examinations
There are a number of ways to finish a subject at the end of a semester.
Within the framework of a module, you will receive a grade for your work
(1=very good, -5=fail) as well as ECTS credits.
The most frequent type of final completion of a course is a written examination. The duration of such examinations varies from 90 min to 180 min.
Questions are based exclusively on the subject matter dealed with in the
preceding semester which the examinees have to answer in prescribed
period of time allocated for the examination.
In some subjects, evaluation of progress is also made on the basis of
homework or study work. The difference between these two alternatives
is the amount of time allocated for the task. For homework, about 40 hours
of work are expected, whereas for study work about 160 hours. In both
cases, written work is carried out on the student‘s own initiative, frequently
on a subject of his or her own choice. Frequently, the work also has to be
presented orally. In an oral examination questions are asked about material dealed with in the preceding semester which then have to be answered
orally by candidates. The duration of these examinations can differ but they
are always shorter than a written examination. Finally, the certificate is
arranged in most cases for successful participation in the course.
4. The Prerequisites for Admission
4.1 Entry prerequisites
Foreign students can only be given the direct admission for university if they
hold an entrance qualification for universities in Germany. The revision of
their handed-in certificates and the ascertainment of equivalence are conducted after the uniform evaluation standard applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany. In order to find out whether your certificates fulfil the
requirements, you should make use of the entrance requirements databank,
which can be accessed at the URL www.anabin.de in the internet. Important
information can also be found on the internet page of the DAAD, where
relevant information on this topic is coloured orange
www.daad.de/deutschland/index.de.html.
Study college
In case you don’t hold a direct admission for German university or just a
subject-linked admission which doesn’t correspond to the field of studies
you want to apply for, you have to visit the study college in Germany and
pass the entrance examination at the end of the course. You can find an
overview of all study colleges in Germany at www.studienkollegs.de. The
FH Jena recommends the study college Nordhausen (see appendix). If
needed we will inform you about courses and dates of examinations. Please
contact Mr. Scharlock of the Service Center for Students Affairs for further
information (see appendix).
-6-
Special regulations for
exchange students
Students from foreign partner universities (exchange students) obtain a
separate simplified treatment regarding prerequisites for admission to the
FH Jena. The International Office will inform you as needed.
4.2 German language
skills
International student who apply for full-time study have to pass the language exmans DSH 2 or DSH 3 or TestDAF with 4 or 5 points in all portions (at least 16 points, in individual cases exist the possibility to balance
out). If you lack knowledge of the German language we recommend a language course.
Language courses
The Friedrich-Schiller University (see appendix) offers DSH-language
courses. The TestDAF-examination can be taken at the Institut für Interkulturelle Kommunikation e.V. in Jena (see appendix).
Moreover, the adult education centre (Volkshochschule) in Jena offers
German language courses of different levels.
Please take in account that the FH Jena does not offer any study-preparing
language courses or German language examinations.
For the German language courses running during the semester the Centre
for Foreign Languages (Sprachlernzentrum) of the FH Jena is responsible.
For further information please contact Ms.Geißler, Tel. +49-(0)3641 20 55
10, Email: [email protected].
exchange students
For students from partner universities, we offer intensive language courses
before the start of a semester. Before these courses can take place, a
minimum number of participants and the availability of financial support in
the respective financial year must be demonstrated.
4.3 Limitations on
admission
In some study courses, the number of applicants is larger than the number
of available places to study. Therefore, the average grade of the admission
to university is used as a selection criterion for both, German and foreign
student applicants. A minimum grade point average (Numerus Clausus,
NC) limits admission.
However, 8% of places to study are reserved for foreign students in NC
study courses. Exceptions to this are members of the EU, EER – states and
countries. Until now, none of our international applicants have had problems
getting the admission to their designated courses.
These limitations on admission can change from semester to semester.
Please make sure that you obtain the relevant information in good time from
the internet http://www.fh-jena.de/index.php/page/667/4689.
exchange students
Special regulations are applied on students from foreign partner universities. At present, no limitations on admission of any kind exist.
4.4 Preliminary practical exercises
As a rule, technical preliminary practical exercises (lasting at least 8-12
weeks) or occupational qualifications are required for admission in the technical study courses. In every study course, this is regulated by the respective study and examination regulations. Please refer any questions you may
have to the Practical Training Office of the corresponding faculty (see appendix) or at www.fh-jena.de/index.php/browse/605.

4.5 Special information
for Chinese and Vietnamese candidates
Since 2001, documents of Chinese applicants related to entitlement to admission to a German university have been assessed by an academic inspection office in Beijing (AIO). Since 2007 the same procedure is established for Vietnamese applicants who contact the AIO in Hanoi.
The China/Vietnam procedure applies to Chinese and Vietnamese student applicants respectively who live in China and Vitenam respectively and
aspire to study in Germany. The procedure includes the examination of
handed-in documents and an interview lasting 20 minutes which is carried
out in English or German. Successful applicants will be issued with 10 certificates and can participate in a simplified visa procedure. In order to participate in the procedure, please fill out the application form of the AIO. The
fee for processing the application is 2500 RMB in China and 110 USD in
Vietnam. This fee includes the cost of a visa.
The Germany procedure applies to Chinese applicants who already live in
Germany and came to Germany before April 2002, and for Vietnamese
applicants who already reside in Germany in the context of family reunion.
Even if you are already in Germany and have attended a German language
course, you will be requested by the German universities to allow the examination of your academic attainment certificate. In order to participate in
the German procedure, please fill out the application form of the AIO. For
processing the application, a fee of 1000 RMB in China and 50 USD in
Vietnam will be requested. We recommend that you ask someone in your
home country to pay this money using a money letter (post). The number of
the money letter must be entered in the application form. If the result of the
examination of your documents is positive, you will receive 10 certificates.
In the case of the Partnership programme, the application forms of Chinese and Vietnamese student applicants respectively are submitted collectively. The AIO will examine the documents presented and can dispense
with an interview if:
• a cooperation agreement between a German and a Chinese/Vietnamese university exists
• the student applicants in China/Vietnam are academically chosen
by members of German technical universities
In the case of acceptance for a partnership programme, a fee of 1000 RMB
for Chinese and 50 USD for Vietnamese is to be paid as a visa fee. The fee
has to be paid using a money letter. The number of this money letter must
be indicated in the particular application. The applicant for a partnership
programme does not receive any certificate, because he or she has not
participated in any interview and has been selected for a specific programme. A change of university within Gemany on the part of participants in
the partnership programme is not intended.
The necessary documents must be enclosed in the respective applications.
For a list of documents to be submitted, please refer to the respective information leaflets which can be obtained at the intenet site of the AIO in
Beijing:www.deutschebotschaftchina.org/de/kultur/studieren/akademische_pruefstelle.html or the AIO in
Hanoi respectively: http://www.hanoi.diplo.de/Vertretung/hanoi/de/06/

6.7 Long-term study
fees
Since the winter semester 2004/2005, long-term study fees have been collected at all Thuringian universities.
The fee has to be paid by students who exceed the time limit of a course of
study that leads to a first qualification for a career (so-called foundation
study) by more than 4 semesters (tolerance semesters).
The time limit is determined by the respective examination regulations for
the course of study. For courses of study leading to a diploma it is 8, for
courses of study leading to a bachelors’ degree it is 6 and for masters’ degrees 3 or 4 semesters respectively. In the case of foundation courses of
study which lead to a masters’ degree or MA or MSc, the time limit for the
complete course of study is decisive.
In the case of a second study course following an already completed course
of study at a university, the time limit for the course of study for the first and
second course of study are counted together when it is shown that the first
study lies well over the average (30%) of the examination year.
The fee amounts to 500 € for each semester. It only has to be paid once in
the case of matriculation at the same time in several courses of study. You
can obtain further details from the Student Secretariat (see appendix). General student fees are currently not raised in the Federal State of Thuringia.
Changes will be notified at the homepage of the FH Jena.
6.8 THOSKA – the student card
With efectual enrolment you will get your student identification card in the
THOSKA Office (see appendix). Students from foreign partner universities
have to apply for a student card separately. You can find the application
form under www.fh-jena.de/index.php/browse/813.
- 15 -
THOSKA stands for Thüringer Hochschul- und Studentenwerkskarte (Thuringia University and Student Association Card) and is multifunctional.
On receiving the card serves as:
•
•
•

replacement card can be obtained, following application, and payment of a
fee amounting to 20 €.
6.9 Double affiliation at
the FSU (FriedrichSchiller-University)
In Jena, there are two separate universities which are completely independent of one another. In addition to the “younger“ University of Applied
Sciences Jena/Fachhochschule Jena, since 1558 the Friedrich-Schiller
University (FSU) offers a wide range of subjects of a traditional German
university.
If you as a so-called “double affiliate” wish to attend courses at the FSU
Jena, please inform yourself via the internet site of the FSU under www.unijena.de about range of subjects on offer and their running times. Students
who are enrolled at another university, which is not FSU Jena, can only be
admitted on application to the FSU as a ‘double affiliate’ with entitlement to
attend lectures and take examinations. You can obtain an application form
and information on written request from the Student Secretariat of the FSU
Jena or in the internet under: www.uni-jena.de/zweithoererschaft.html.
A double affiliate identification card will be issued to double affiliates for
particular lectures or a course of study for one semester. Double affiliates
are no members of the FSU and therefore, they do not need to pay the
semester fee. Acceptance of applications takes place until, at the latest, two
weeks after the start of lectures at the FSU.

7. Living in Jena
7.1 Student accomodation
The Association for Student Affairs currently has 20 student dormitories.
Most of the student dormitories are located in Lobeda, about 5 km from the
FH and can be reached with the bus in about 15 min. The rent for rooms
depends on size and quality and varies between 94,-€ and 299,-€.
Most student dormitories are completely furnished and are equipped with a
room with washing machines, a telephone connection for each residential
unit, television room, as well as a place for bicycles. Some student dormitories have a sports room, internet connection or an own student club.
Apart from a few exceptions, showers, bathrooms and kitchens are located
within the residential units. The Students Association makes every effort to
renovate the student dormitories, step by step, and so improve the quality
of living provided.
You can find information on the theme ”Student accommodation“ (application, entitlement to accommodation, rents, an overview of all of the student
hostels plus a site plan, as well as application forms) in the internet under
http://www.stw-thueringen.de/de/menu-oben/wohnen.html.Telephone numbers and addresses can be found in the appendix to this brochure. A fee of
10.-€ is due for each application.
Those who are interested in obtaining a place in a student dormitory
should not leave it too late applying for it as the demand is very high and
available accommodation is allocated according to the order in which applications are received. When requesting an application form, you must
enclose a stamped, addressed envelope (A 5). You can also directly
download application forms from the internet at http://www.stwthueringen.de/de/menu-oben/wohnen/bewerbung-auf-wohnplatz.html or
pick one up at the INFO-take (see appendix).
exchange students
For students from foreign partner universities (exchange students) special
regulations apply. The application for accommodation will be sent by the
International Office (see appendix). FH Jena must register the requirement
for accommodation to the Students Association by 31.07. or 31.01., respectively, so partnership students should contact the Akademische
Auslandsamt in good time in order to complete the necessary formalities.
We are not able to guarantee accommodation at short notice!
7.2 Flat sharing
Student flat share ist he most known way to live together among students.
The advantages of a room in a flat share are the price you pay for living
and the possibility of quick contact to fellow students through the flat
mates. Useful links are: www.studenten-wg.de, www.wg-gesucht.de,
www.studenten-wohnung.de, jena.studenten-wohnung.de,
www.wg-zimmer-jena.de – at all those websides students from all over
Germany offer or search rooms in flat share.
7.3 Private accommodation
It is very difficult indeed to find private accommodation in Jena at an affordable price. Those who wish to rent private accommodation are therefore advised to obtain accommodation in a student hostel and then to seek
private accommodation. It is always worth looking at notice boards, in the
internet and newspapers for offers of accommodation. The regionalresidential building cooperative can also help. The FH Jena itself does not
offer any placement service.
- 18 -
8. Insurances
Generally, all students have to have a health insurance. The fees for students are equal at all statutory insurance companies, namely 47,53 € per
month. At the age of 25 the student has to pay 9,09 € per month extra for
care insurance which was included before. You can call on the student rate
until the age of 30. Possible insurances are Techniker Krankenkasse, AOK
oder Barmer Ersatzkasse (see appendix).
Visiting a doctor
Since 2004, patients visitng a doctor have to pay a quarterly doctors fee
amounting to 10.-€. For all additional visits to the doctor in this quarter you
have to show the transfer form which the first doctor where you have paid
filled out.
The same price quarterly is to be paid separately for a visit to a dentist.
This does not apply, however, for preventive check-ups. It is recommended
that you visit a so-called Hausarzt (general practioner, GP) who will carry
out a preliminary examination. If necessary, this doctor will refer you to a
specialist.
Medication
In Germany, medicines are classified in three groups:
Those only available on doctor´s prescription (like antibiotics) can only
be obtained from a pharmacy on presentation of a prescription issued by a
doctor. For such medicines, you have to pay a small fee. You can obtain
information about this from your health insurance company.
Those only available at a pharmacy (chemist´s shop), but prescription-free (for example, nose drops, aspirin and similar tablets) can only be
obtained from pharmacies or chemist´s shops, but no prescription from a
doctor is required. But, you will have to pay the full price for such medicine.
Those not only available at a pharmacy (like vitamin tablets, cough lozenges) can also be obtained from chemists’ shops / drugstores or supermarkets. For these you do not need a prescription and you will have to pay
the full price.
8.2 Liability insurance
and Household insurance
As an enrolled student, you are automatically insured via the Association
for Student Affairs for liabilitiy insurance. Included in the insurance are
damage to persons, property and assets that occur as a result of participating in the teaching and research activities of the university.
There is no general household insurance made by the Association for Student Affairs. Insurance against theft or damage with regard to objects
brought by students into student dormitories therefore does not exist following conclusion of a rental contract. Each student should check whether
his or her parents’ household insurance also covers accommodation in
student accommodation.
8.3 Statutory accident
insurance and Accident
insurance for leisure
activities
Students of universities cared for by the Association for Student Affairs
Thuringia have statutory insurance against accidents by the Unfallkasse
Thüringen. Insurance protection extends to all activities that are associated
in time, location or causal relationship with studies, such as taking part in
- 19 -
lectures (including breaks), use of libraries, excursions, activities in student
self-administration, all routes to and from the university, as well as to banks
at which students hold accounts.
In the event of an accident, services required for rehabilitation of injuries
(treatment and occupational help), pension claims and reimbursement of
costs are guaranteed. It is important that all accidents are notified to the
Association for Student Affairs (see appendix).
The Association for Student Affairs has also concluded a group insurance
for accidents that do not occur during the period of education or training.
However, in such cases, there is only insurance cover in those instances in
which this has not been taken over by other insurers. Insurance cover includes accidents throughout the world and includes benefits in the event of
invalidity, as well as rescue costs and cosmetic operations.
8.4 The service packet
for foreign students
The Association for Student Affairs offers a Service packet for foreign students. Next to the above mentioned insurance protection the student is
offered:
- a single room in a student dormitory
- midday meals at the students dining hall and cafeterias
- support by a tutor
- cultural offers and events
- semester fee including ticket for Jena short-distance traffic and train ticket
Deadlines for application are 31.06. for the winter semester and 31.01. for
the summer semester. Please address your enquiries directly to the Association for Student Affairs (see appendix).
9. Banks and bank account
9.1 Account opening
Primarily, you need a German bank account to transfer the semester fee.
Later it is also the easiest way to pay your rent or insurance. In order to
open an account in Germany, you need a valid identity document, a proof
of residence in Germany (rental agreement) and your certificate of enrolment or the student identification card to be released from account fees.
9.2 German banks
Large banks in Germany are, for example, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank,
Dresdner Bank and Sparkasse. There exist differences in terms of costs
and services among them. Therefore, it is sensible to compare the offers of
different banks. The banks are normally open 9.00 -16.00 on working days.
On one or more days (often Thursday) the opening times are longer.
In the city centre of Jena, there are a few banks, such as the Dresdner
Bank and Deutsche Bank. In the vicinity of the FH Jena, there is a branch
of the Sparkasse Jena. Addresses and opening times are listed in the appendix.
9.3 Money transfer and
online banking
There are several possibilities of transferring money:
Transfer: A transfer is used to put money from the own account into another. To do this, you need to fill out a transfer form (obtainable from your
bank) and hand it in at your bank. This form of payment transfer is normally
used when making a single payment.
- 20 -
Debit entry: Debit entry means you give a collection authorization to the
payee. This method is used for regularly occuring charges which have
variable amounts like telephone bills. You should regularly check debiting
from your account using the printouts of your account which can be obtained with your account holder´s card at automatic account printing machines at your bank or if you choose online banking on the internet.
Standing orders: You can give standing orders to your bank if you have to
transfer equal amounts on a regular basis (like your rent). The bank will
transfer the fixed amount at a date specified to a specific bank account.
Forms for this can be obtained from your bank.
Credit cards: You can use a credit card at many large shops, hotels etc.
to pay without cash. At the entrances to those signs indicate which credit
cards are accepted. If you are not sure, you can simply ask whether your
credit card will be accepted.
When making an application for a credit card, it is also worth comparing
the conditions offered by different banks. Lots of banks offer gratuitous
credit cards with the opening of an account or other interesting combinations of credit cards with other services, for example a Railcard and credit
card in one.
Going above your credit limit can be very expensive in Germany. You may
have to pay between 10% and 15% interest. However, a credit card is still
not such a common feature of money transactions as elsewhere in the
world. If you lose your customer card or credit card, you must inform your
bank right away and have your bank account blocked. On the weekend
and outside the bank´s opening hours, this is also possible. The telephone
numbers for this are given with the card, so you should take good care of
it!
Online banking: If you have your own computer and access to the internet
you can handle your payments online. Like that, you do not have to go to
the bank every time you want to transfer money via normal transfer, debit
entry or standing orders. Moreover, you can also check your account
online. Please obtain the information for this service at your respective
bank.
10. Further useful information
Telephone and mobile
phone
In Germany, public telephones operatimg with a telephone card have become more frequent than coin-operating ones. Cards are available for 5.-€
and 10.-€. The most important emergency call numbers are 110 for the
police and 112 for the fire service and/or ambulance.
If you want to use a mobile phone, there are different providers and rates
on offer. Using a prepaid-card (rechargeable), you might be able to use
your mobile phone you brought along, as long as it is activated for use in
Germany. Signing a contract, you get a mobile phone with it. Please inform
youself at the shops of the different providers or in the internet (i.e. eplus,
o2, vodafone). Almost every provider offers special rates for students.
- 21 -
Radio and television
In Germany, you need to pay a licence fee for radio and television. Information can be obtained in the internet at www.gez.de.
Post
A standard letter within Europe costs 0.55 €, a postcard 0.45 €. It is best to
send letters to foreign addresses using airmail. If you have any questions
about postal charges, you should ask at a post-office.
Traffic and driving licence In order to drive a car in Germany, you will need a “fully valid” driving licence. This means an EU driving licence, an international driving licence or
a driving licence from your native country provided with a certified translation. You should note that international driving licences and licences from
your country of origin are only valid for one year. If you want to drive for
more than one year in Germany, you will need an EU driving licence or
your will have to do a driving test to obtain a German driving licence (which
can take at least two months). Driving in Germany you always have to
carry the licence with you.
The recommended speed on autobahns is 130 km/h. Within built-up areas,
you may not drive faster than 50 km/h, outside these areas 100 km/h is
considered to be the maximum speed.
In Germany, you are allowed to drive a car or ride a bicycle with a blood
alcohol level of up 50 millilitres. But, be warned, if you are involved in an
accident in an intoxicated state you assume full liability. So, the best rule to
follow is “Don’t drink and drive”.
Parking in the wrong place can be expensive (up to 40.-€) and, in addition,
your car may be towed away, resulting in additional costs and great inconvenience to you, as you may have to go a long way to pick up your car.
Forms of address
Normally, you may only use the “du”-form for “you” with really good friends,
otherwise you must use the “Sie”-form. Students and younger people,
however, normally use “du” when speaking to one another.
Reductions
As a student, you get frequently reductions for entry to museums, theatres,
opera houses and cinemas when presenting your student identification
card. You should therefore always carry your student identification card
with you and task if there are price reductions for students, even if there is
no sign indicating this.
Electricity
The supply voltage in Germany is 220V/50Hz. Please bear in mind that
electrical apparatus which you may have brought with you with a lower
operating voltage can be damaged. Therefore, you should make use of a
transformer.
Disposal of rubbish
In Germany, great attention is paid to eco-friendly disposal of rubbish and
thinking of the environment. Therefore great value is placed on rubbish
recycling. There are containers everywhere (for example for glass, cardboard and paper) for separate disposal of rubbish. You are requested to
make use of these.

11. Cultural offerings and leisure time facilities in and around Jena
The international centre
for cultural events and
coming together
By renovating a house in the centre of Jena, the Association for Student
Affairs reactivated an old vetust building. Different organisations and the
institutions of the universities of Jena and of the town itself which dedicate
their work to the integration of foreign students work together under the
roof of this international centre. It has mainly the function of a meeting and
counselling point as well as a place for cultural interaction and actitivty of
any kind among and for international and German students respectively.
Come along!! (Johannesplatz 26).
Pubs and cafes
Social life should not get a raw deal. There are many opportunities in Jena
for going for a coffee or drinking a beer in one of the numerous pubs and
coffeehouses. You can chat about the day´s events with your fellow students and friends. Especially the “pub miles” around the Wagnergasse and
Marktplatz are popular among students. Here is a small selection:
Fiddler´s Green (Irish Pub) – Bachstraße 39
Here you will find a true Celtic atmosphere combined with live music and a
large selection of Irish and international drinks and refreshments.
Café Stilbruch – Wagnergasse 2
One of the most popular cafes in Jena. Cosy atmosphere on three levels. It
is always full and invites you to take a tasty breakfast.
Café Boheme – Wagnergasse 26
Here you can enjoy a tea or coffee in a relaxed atmosphere.
Café Immergrün – Jenergasse 6
An alternative cafe. There is a good selection of teas, newspapers and
board games, as well as a garden. Economic prices.
Restaurants
If you have missed the midday meal, or if you want to go out for a meal at
the weekend, there are the following alternatives:
Alt Jena - Markt 9
Excellent pizzas - tasty and good value for money. It also offers local cakes
at prices which are really good value for money.
Zum Roten Hirsch - Holzmarkt 10
Traditional and cosy, in the summer it also has a well laid out beer garden.
Zur Noll – Oberlauengasse 19
Cosy pub restaurant belonging to the higher category of establishments,
with pub piano.
Haus zur Rosen - Johannisstraße 13
You will receive a discount on selected items if you present your student
identification card. For this reason, it is good value for money.
If you are looking for something a little special, or your parents are coming
and you want to take them out, then we recommend the Schwarze Bär, the
Esplanada Restaurant or the Scala Restaurant above at the landmark of
Jena, the Intershop Tower.
There are also a number of restaurants in the surrounding areas of Jena
which you will come across if you go for a walk or hike e.g. Fuchsturm,
Jenzighaus and Lobdeburg.
- 24 -
Student clubs
As expected in an university town, Jena also has some student clubs:
Rosenkeller - Johannisstraße 13
Popular meeting point for students, particularly on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Entry 2-3 €, beer at a good price and rock and metal music.
Med-Club – Grietgasse 2
Every two weeks, on Thursday evenings, you can set your dancing feet in
motion here. Entry costs 2,50 € and the prices for drinks are within your
range.
F-Haus – Johannesplatz 14
The F- house offers, in alternation at weekends, “Flirty dancing“, “ClubNight“ or “70s / 80s Party“.
OGS - Löbstedter Straße 49
This party location is located in Löbstedter Straße. Here you can have a
party to Soul & Black music, house music and also classics of the 70s/80s
party.
Theatre and cinema
Theaterhaus Jena
Constantly changing diversified repertoire – see programme at
www.theaterhaus-jena.de
Kino im Schillerhof
Arthouse-cinema – European and international productions
See programme at http://kino-im-schillerhof-jena.kino-eit.de/programm.php
Jenaer Philharmonie
A must be for every classic friend. The concert hall in the Volkshaus is very
well known for its fantastic acoustics.
Sights
Zeiss - Planetarium
The planetarium was opened in 1926 and is the longest operating planetarium in the world. It offers a changing, entertaining programme and is not
only warmly recommended for hobby astronomers, but for everyone.
Botanischer Garten
In greenhouses and gardens, you cam find about 12,000 different types of
plants from every corner of the world. Even J.W. Goethe sought inspiration
here and used it for botanical studies.
Stadtmuseum „Göhre“
The museum recounts the history of the town from the first reference in the
9th century, the founding of the university in 1558 and the battle at Jena in
1806, through to the founding of the original Students Society. The history
of the town is portrayed and explained with great care.
Gedenkstätte in Cospeda (nahe Jena)
One of the most important battles in the war of the Napoleon armies
against Prussia took place in 1806 at Cospeda (the battle of
Jena/Auerstedt). The monument shows old maps, weapons, a model of the
battle and many other interesting items.
Optisches Museum
The museum shows the development of optical instruments from 5 centuries. The highlight of the museum is certainly the largest collection of spectacle glasses in Europe.

In the surroundings by
foot
Jena lies in the beautiful Saale valley. The Saale and its tributaries have
worn deeply into the shell limestone and mottled sandstone hills and created an impressive landscape. There exist numerous hiking routes which
start in Jena and run up to the elevated plains from which you will have a
panoramic view of the town and its surroundings.
You will certainly enjoy a walk to the Fuchsturm, the Steiger or the Landgrafen. The socalled “Horizontals“ lead at different heights hundreds of
kilometres around Jena and the surroundings. Those who like hiking or
mountain-biking will find a paradise here. Those who like lengthy hikes
should obtain information in advance from the Jena Tourist-Information (see
appendix). Hiking is a must in Jena!
on wheels…
Using a car, bus or train, it is very easy to find places well worth visiting in
the vicinity of Jena.
…to Weimar
Weimar is located about 20 km away from Jena and can be reached, by car
or train, in about 20 min. Without exaggeration, it can be claimed that Weimar is one of the most important towns in Germany. Weimar is known for a
number of well-known people (e. g. Cranach, Goethe, Schiller, Herder,
Liszt), its history (the Weimar Republic, the concentration camp Buchenwald), as well as a number of historical buildings (Bauhaus). Places well
worth a visit include, in particular, the Goethe house, Goethe´s garden
house, Belvedere palace and the town church with an altar painting by Lucas Cranach. A tour of the German National Theatre is recommended to all
those who love theatre or opera. You can (and should!) reserve tickets at
the Jena - Information centre. Also to be recommended is a guided tour of
the town. Weimar offers much flair and atmosphere. Night owls are fond of
the “Kasseturm”, a student club with beer cellar, wine tavern, disco, live hall,
a snack bar and a lot of good atmosphere. In 1999, Weimar was the capital
cultural town of Europe and it attracts visitors annually with a number of
interesting and spectacular events.
…to Erfurt
The capital of the federal state of Thuringia, Erfurt, is also the largest city in
the federal state. As it is the greatest tourist attraction, next to Weimar, it is
not surprising that it has been lovingly spruced up. The carefully renovated
- 26 -
half-timbered buildings in the Marktstraße, the historic Marktplatz and, in
particular, the beautiful Krämerbrücke, which was already referred to in
1117, which has houses on both sides, in which retailers offer their products
for sale, bear witness to the fact that, already in the Middle Ages, Erfurt was
one of the most important cities for trading; especially for oriental spices
and indigo (a dye for materials). If you go in the direction from the Krämerbrücke to Domplatz and encounter a large crowd of people, then you will
certainly have come to Thuringia´s best ice cafe. It will certainly be worth
your while to queue! Those who are not only interested in the history of the
city and culture can use their time to wander along the streets of the city
and make use of its excellent shopping facilities.
..to the Leuchtenburg
About 20 km away from Jena, near to the town of Kahla, located 400 m
high, you find the Leuchtenburg. The Leuchtenburg has been enthroned on
this peak since the first third of the 13th century, from which you will have a
magnificant panoramic view in all directions. There is a museum, a castle
inn, a knights hall and a youth hostel. The museum has exhibitions of the
history of the castle, grape cultivation on the Saale, Thuringian porcelain
and a history of hunting. Special highlights are the “Middle Ages spectacles”, which take place on a regular basis. You can obtain further information from the Jena Information Centre.
13. Practical advices
13.1 Visa for education
and training
Students and student applicants need a visa to enter Germany. You must
not enter Germany with a tourist visa as you can not change it into a visa
for education and training afterwards. With some countries like the EUstates special agreements exist which allow their citizens to enter Germany
without a visa. As soon as you have your admission for studying in Germany you can apply for the visa at the Germany Embassy or Consulate in
your home country. On www.auswaertiges-amt.de under „Die deutschen
Vertretungen im Ausland“ you will find the addresses.
For those, who are interested in studying in Germany but are still without
admission, can apply for a visa for student applicants. It allows them to
enter Germany and apply for university in between 3 month.
The application for a visa
You should inform yourself about how to apply for a visa for education and
training as early as possible as on the one hand providing the needed
documents and on the other hand handling the application can occupy lots
of time. The following documents are normally needed for application:
- valid passport
- entrance qualification for German university
- proof of financing (see chapter 13.2)
- admission to study of a German university or at least application
confirmation
- health insurance
You will gain detailed information at the DAAD-homepage
www.daad.de/deutschland/zulassung/visum/04694.de.html.
Immediately following your entry, you must register at the registration office
and at the aliens department (see appendix). For this purpose, you will
need the following documents:
- Registration office: passport and your rental agreement
…after the arrival
- 27 -
-
Aliens department: passport, 2 passport photographs (conforming with the biometric standard/ 35X45 mm), rental agreement,
student identification card, proof of health insurance, copy of the
registration form of the registration office, proof of financing of your
studies (60 € visa fee)
13.2 Financing the stay
Before your educational stay in Germany, you must be fully aware that
such an enterprise has to be financed. You must not have the hope or
expectation that in Germany you will have the chance to additionally earn
money, since a student visa does not automatically include a work permit.
For this, there are special regulations (see Working in Germany below).
If you do not receive a scholarship, you will need to assess very carefully
and realistically your financial situation and consider whether you can
cover all the costs you will face. You will also need to convince the German
Consulate / Embassy with documentary evidence of your financial viability.
Currently, the required amount is about 700 € per month.
Incoming costs
Beside the semester fee you have to be able to afford the costs for travelling, the visa, rent, telephone and food. Moreover you have to count on
costs for means for work (books and/or computer) and in some cases
medication and treatment expenses. 600 € per month are realistic as needed.
Possibilities of financial
support
German universities themselves do not offer scholarships. At the FH Jena,
there is only the possibility to obtain a small scholarship in an emergency
situation or shortly before finishing the studies. For detailed information,
you should contact the International Office (see appendix). In Germany,
there are a number of foundations (see appendix) where you can apply for
scholarship but the requirements are relatively difficult to fulfil.
The most extensive support programme is offered by the Deutsche
Akademische Austauschdienst (DAAD). It grants scholarships to students
and graduates with different durations, but does not finance a complete
period of study in Germany. Scholarships are normally offered according to
performance rather than social criteria. Specialist qualification, personal
aptitude as well as expert reports from university teaching staff are the
most important selection criteria for DAAD scholarships. You should obtain
information in good time at www.daad.de as deadlines for applications are
often very in advance of the possible beginning of effective payment of
scholarship. You can obtain information on the spot from the German Embassy. An application for a scholarship from within Germany is unlikely to
meet with success.
Anyway, most of the foreign students are supported financially through
their family. Only a few gain a scholarship. A rigt to gain Bafög exists only
in exceptional cases: www.studentenwerke.de/main/default.asp?id=03305.
Working in Germany
Following the introduction of a new immigrant’s law dated 01.01.2005 there
have been changes in employment law for foreign students (non-EU nationals).
According to the Federal Ministry, foreign students are allowed to work
during their studies up to 90 whole days or 180 half-days. In addition, there
is the possibility to unrestrictedly exercise a secondary student occupation.
- 28 -
Following successful completion of studies, there is also the possibility to
extend the residence permit for up to one year, in order to find employment
in Germany. The workplace must be appropriate for the academic qualification obtained.
The student must always, in his or her own interest, know how many workpermit-free working days he or she has “used up” in the current calendar
year. It is possible to ask a new employer to confirm this in writing.
EU students are not subject to the immigrant law and may work without
restriction.
For gainful employment on a non-self-employed basis, you will need a tax
card which you can obtain from the Residence Office (see appendix). In
order to obtain a tax card, you will need to present your registration confirmation, as well as your passport at the Residence Office. This applies to
both EU and non-EU students.
You can find job offers at the INFOtake of the Association for Student Affairs (see appendix) or at the job centre. On the black boards of the FH
Jena you can also find notices and the internet can be useful in this case.
But be aware of the fact that you can never rely on financing your studies
just through working.
13.3 The arrival and a
checklist
You can get to Jena by train from everywhere in Germany. Information
about train connections and running times are available at www.bahn.de.
From the station it is recommendable to take a taxi. If you want to use public transport you find the connections and running times of buses and tram
in Jena at www.jenah.de. Moreover, at www.jena.de or in the appendix
respectively you find a selection of hotels. A good alternative is the IBJugendgästehaus Jena, Am Herrenberge 3, tel: +49-(0)3641 80 64 03.
Please contact in any case the student dormitory or the Association for
Student Affairs to gain gelp from the tutor at the student dormitory.
The checklist:
□ All important documents: confirmation of admission or application confirmation, proof of financing, an original as well as a certified copy of seconDo I have everything??
dary school leaving certificate
□ Passport (valid for the whole period of stay as well as the correct visa)
□ Have I concluded the necessary insurances and do I have necessary proof
of this? (Health insurance, maybe Household insurance)
□ Enough money for the start (at least 250 € in cash)
□ Passport photographs (approx. 5, complying to biometric standard 35X45)
□ Do I have accommodation when I arrive? If not, have I booked a room in a
hotel or in a youth hostel?
□ Tickets for the flight, bus and train
□ Traveller cheques and credit card?
□ International driving licence if existent and needed
□ City map
□ Do I have all necessary information (when do I have to be where and how
do I get there?)
□ If you participate at a study college: When is the entry test in the study
college and have I registered for this in good time? (Warning: the recomjust tick!!
mened study college is located in Nordhausen, not Jena!)
- 29 -
Do you need help? The tutoring programme of FH Jena
Since, especially the first weeks after arrival, you will have lots of questions to ask and things to arrange, a helping hand is of immense value. The International Office, the Central Student Advisory Service and the ServiceCentre for Student Affairs (see appendix) should be your first address for any kind
of questions related to the study and life in Jena.
To make the start in Jena less difficult we try to find a student tutor for you. This student will help you
with all important issues (access to student accommodation, enrolment, aliens department, account
opening, health insurance, a.s.o.) and, moreover, will show you the FH and the town of Jena. This service depends on the attendance of students on the ground. Together with your admission to study you
will get the information and the application form.
The Central Student Advisory Service and the Faculties arrange with the help of student tutors at the
beginning of a new semester introductory days to facilitate the start of studying at FH Jena. Throughout
the semester the International Office and the ServiceCentre for Student Affairs organise various cultural
events and excursions for international students.
