== Probable Timing for a Study Stay and a Postgraduate Study ==

If you wish to study at a German university or college for a limited period of time (one or two semesters), you decide for a Teilstudium (undergraduate and graduate levels). That means that you do not study towards graduation or towards a degree in Germany but rather collect credit points that count as part of your degree course at home.

Only you can decide when the time is right to go abroad. At any rate, experience shows that the period during the undergraduate phase is most appropriate (if there is a division between undergraduate and graduate study phase at your home university or college and no other point in time is recommended). 

Apart from following a full degree course and using this study stay [http://tu-dresden.de/internationales Teilstudium] to collect a number of credit points in partial fulfilment of your course requirements, there is also the possibility of completing a [http://tu-dresden.de/internationales post-graduate course] in Germany. A postgraduate course takes two to four semesters and is taken up after having completed a first degree. It is an extension degree complementing your first course. Pre-requisites for a postgraduate degree in Germany are an acknowledged university or college degree and a passed German proficiency test. The graduation degree would be either diploma or master.
