BAFöG for German students
Usually, German students are entitled to BAFöG which typically contributes coverage of expenses for the complete two years of study. If students seek to go abroad, they should apply for BAFög at least six months before leaving Germany. Since the costs of studying abroad are obviously higher than compared to study at home, BAFöG is granted to a broader range of students seeking to study abroad, even for applicants who would otherwise not qualify due of their parents' higher income are still recommended to file a respective application.
Information considering the new BAFöG can be found at the Site of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Further Information can be found at Studentenwerk Berlin.
This is how Leonie finances her tuition:
My name is Leonie, I am 21 years old and I come from Germany.
Since October 2014, I do my studies at the university “SRH Hotel-Akademie Dresden” in the program “International Hotel Management” that is taught in English.
To finance my studies, I decided to take out a loan at the kfw-Bank. It’s a German bank institution that offers young people a financial support during their studies for very attractive conditions.
For not being in debt for too long after my bachelor, I immediately started working right at the beginning of my studies for a big chain hotel in Dresden that is near university.There, I am currently working in service, more precisely in breakfast and banquet. I also had the chance to do my 6-week-intership in different departments there. That gave me the possibility to get to know more employees and to integrate myself better in the team. I already made friends in this new town, also thanks to my workplace.
Of course, it is not always easy to balance university, work and private life. I had to resign to many things during my first semester, especially to party nights on weekend or to go home visiting my family. On the other hand, I benefit a lot from my practical experiences for a better understanding in university and increasing trust from my employer.
Hotel Management in Action – Projects during the Degree Programme (Kopie 1)
In order to apply academic knowledge, our educators organise exciting projects with partners from the hotel industry. Starting in the first semester with the organisation of the panel discussion at the ITB. From there it gets more and more interesting with i.e. a hotel development project.
In the summer semester of 2015, 20 of our students from the sixth semester collaborated with the Hotel Bayrische Hof Dresden on the seminar “Hotel Development”. The family owned hotel operates over 56 rooms and suites as well as four apartments with exclusive design. Additionally, the guests may dine in the restaurant or make use of the conference rooms with space for up to 65 people. The hotel, which has been open for more than 20 years, faced many challenges after a change in management. Our students came to their assistance offering their help. They were divided into five groups and set the following fixed goals:
- Raise occupancy by 10% by the end of the year
- Prepare Dynamic Price Management
- Clarify Employee Division of Labour
- Raise Departmental Efficiency (or close)
- Modernisation / Style
It was very important that certain conditions of the hotel be followed:
- The buildings remain a hotel for all intended purposes
- No further rooms be built
- The brand name remain Bayrischer Hof Dresden
- An extreme change in the classification should not be made (Budget vs. 5 Start Segment)
- Three different budget varieties should be suggested for all changes (small investment, medium investment, large investment)
- The hotel technology will be upgraded at the same time
And this is how the project took place:
The students tested the hotel with mystery checks, conducted interviews with the employees and worked with them in the different departments. The individual tasks for each group were based on the recommended procedure from current and projected analyses. At the end of the semester the detailed presentation was given to the task manager. The academic procedure of the students, combined with the experience of working on the project, lead to excellent results. The students and the Hotel Bayrische Hof Dreden were pleased with the project’s many positive results.
