Hear from our students

German Educare has been, since the beginning of my A Levels journey and till the end of my German Language programme, a sturdy bridge making sure that I am comfortable and provided with guidance and support throughout the way.

They have helped with almost everything to make sure my transition to Germany was smooth, with visas, the language classes, university applications and so on. I am very thankful for this opportunity and I highly recommend the team at German Educare to help you with this next major step in life.

German Educare helps me to seamlessly combine my A Level in MCKL, the German language program, and the university, and they have helped me a lot with processing visa, looking for accommodation, applying to the university and more!

In the meantime, I don't have to worry about these things and just focus on my German language study. Thanks to them, I am now studying at a German university.

I'm really glad I chose German Educare to help me realise my dream of studying in Germany. Ever since my pre university (A-Level) in college Malaysia i started learning German under German Educare parallel with A Level subjects. The blending of language studies together with A Level subjects was smooth and well organised.

Fast forward, after finishing my A Level, I came over to Germany to continue language studies here. From the start up till the transition to come to Germany, German Educare has always been there for me and my friends, by providing well-thought and detailed guidance all along.

Can I choose four A level subjects instead of three?

German universities only require for A level students to take 3 subjects. Hence, students are advised to focus on three A level subjects so that they can focus and score well as well as spend more time with learning the German language.

What happens if the subjects I want to take are not offered as part of your combination?

Speak to our study advisors and they will advice the best combination based on what you want to study.
