EURASIA INSTITUTE SMARTGENIUS PATHWAYS – STUDY AND WORK IN GERMANY

ACADEMIC PATHWAYS – STUDY CODEX AND ONLINE LEARNING AGREEMENT

Introduction to the Programme:

You have signed up to join an academic pathway with the goal of entering a state or private university in
Germany. Formally you will be coming to Germany with a visa for study preparation and ensuing
academic studies. In Germany, academic studies require a fair amount of self-discipline as well as hard
work and responsibility. The programmes at research universities are often modular, meaning that you
are expected to build your own timetable and complete the programme within a limited period of time.
Failure to do so can result in you having to drop out without completion. Our preparation programme will
help you in acclimatising you to this kind of learning environment by giving you a knowledge toolbox to
avoid the worst pitfalls and make the most of your studies.

The Smart Genius Academic Pathway® programme will help to prepare you for this experience while at the
same time giving you the necessary German language skills to be able to master your job. High demands
will be made on you to be punctual, responsible and communicative. Our job is to support you in helping
yourself to make the most of your academic career and preparing for the future.

The successful completion of the academic pathway depends on constant hard work on your part and
secondly on the technical infrastructure during the online phase. It is your responsibility to make sure
that you understand what is required of you and that you make the same available. Please read the
following carefully and sign at the bottom.
