PROS CONS

Preparation FOR HERTIE• About School

• Choose Your Concentration (Policy Analysis / Public Management) and Courses

• If you would like to choose ‘Policy Analysis’, you need to have a background knowledge of statistics before you come to Hertie.

• In case of Summer 2017, they have 36 courses and 24 thesis instructors. It is better to check their website and think of which courses/professor you want to choose in advance.

• Life in Berlin• Prepare Documents for Residence Application as Many as Possible (Especially when

you do not want to live in a shared house)

• Gehaltsnachweise (Income Certificate), Bank Balance Statement, Schufa-Ankunft, Mietschuldenfreiheitsbescheinigung, etc. All documents are preferably in German.

• Utilize Your Personal Connection

• Connection is really important in any aspects of Berlin life. For instance, joining in a Japanese community may help you search for a residence. Contact your acquaintances in Germany prior to leaving Japan.

＊日本人の在学生へ （For only Japanese students)

・省庁への就職を考えている人にとって、Sciences Poの学習コンテンツはかなり魅力的で

すが、一点だけ注意して頂きたいことがあります。それは、留学準備が公務員試験並びに官庁訪問の時期と丸被りすることです。ご自身の優先事項と現在～7月にかけてのキャパ

を踏まえつつお考え下さい。また、現地で単位を気にせず授業をとるためには二年の春学期までに単位をすべて取り終える必要があります。アプライする際は、このような点に留意しておいて下さい。
