I just had a meeting with two very nice reps sent over by the German embassy. We had a good discussion about university programs in Germany and German language classes here in Bahrain. I took German in high school and loved every minute of it, well almost. My Grandmother is German, although today her hometown is actually part of the Czech Republic, WWII and all that.
The Goethe-Institut Golf-Region is going to begin offering German language classes here through the embassy. If you are interested you can contact the embassy and check it out. You might see me there.
Thomas Bohm who represents the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst gave me a lot of good info on programs in Germany. If you have been thinking about Europe as a college destination you don't have to focus only on the UK. One interesting tidbit is that 95% of universities in Germany are government owned, which keeps the tuition low. In fact he told me that, depending on the program, it is possible to go to school in Germany for between 0 to 1000 Euros a year. That's it for a year of undergraduate study.
Some programs are offered in English only, other begin in English and finish in German for those who want to learn the language really well. He also told me that the visa process is pretty easy and can usually be handled through the embassy here. Of course there is always the travel, but isn't getting away from Bahrain part of the reason for going to college on the first place?
I have some information here in the office but you should go online and check out what is offered.
