Is the IPSP at University of Leipzig Right for a Future in Theoretical HEP?

[HasanTanveer]

Hello Sirius, I got a two person dorm there too, Johannes R Becher Straße 7. I think it's a street with buildings 3 to 11 reserved for student dorms. What building did you get and when are you coming to Leipzig?

Hey Hasan, I got a dorm room in the same building as you did! It would be so cool if we lived in the same apartment. I can DM you when I know the exact dorm number. Perhaps we'll be housemates! I'll arrive to Leipzig on the 27th of Sep and will be staying in a hotel with a friend. When are you arriving to Leipzig? If you still need accommodation for the first couple of days, I can recommend you a cheap hotel I booked.

 

[HasanTanveer]

That would be pretty cool. I'm arriving on 19th September. Are you on the Facebook group? IPSP 2018/2019?

Wow, so soon! Guess I'm coming to Leipzig pretty late compared to the others. Unfortunately I don't have Facebook, though I'm aware of that group existing!

Hey guys . I got one at Phil Rosenthal Straße. That shouldn't be too far from where you guys are. About 4 km

That's great. Hindi bol lete ho tum?

 

[gargi kodgirwar]

Hi guys.I got a room at tarostrabe. It's closer to Phil Rosenthal strabe like 200m and about 3 to 4 km from johannes strabe.
Will be coming to Leipzig on 2 nd of October. so see you all soon.

 

[Isaak_528]

Hey all, I got a room at Strasse Des 18. Oktober 23-33. Anyone else in that dorm complex? I get to Leipzig the 30th of September.

 

[Sibasish]

Hey guys! Good to see you. As I am very worried about my future I really wanted to ask you guys that is it worth studying physics ipsc in Leipzig? A reply will do me wonders as I'll apply next year! :) thank you

 

[Sibasish]

Hey guys! Another very important question. Anyone here applied with A levels here? I need a little bit of help. Thank you :)

Sorry for the late reply. First, don't worry about your future. As cliche as it sounds, work hard. If you are not sure that IPSP is the right fit for you, then look into other universities as well. I don't know about applying with A-levels. But I do know that the International office is generous about admission in the program. Is it worth it? For the cost, yes. Best of luck! Let me know if you have other questions.

Hello to all! I recently found this program and I am really excited about it now! I still have quite a lot of time before I will apply to Bachelors.
I have some questions though:

1)How hard is it to get in? I didn't find any acceptance rate statistics. I mean, should there be any academic achievements like olympiads/projects, if yes what level (regional, national, international)? What about school grades?

2)I know that it is cheap to live in Leipzig, but still how much exactly does it cost? Have any of you received some kind of financial aid? I heard about deutschlandstipendium, but it only gives 300 euros per month.

3)About work: how much money per month is it possible to make just to cover expenses without harming the study process?

4)I think I misunderstood something, but it says on the official website that winter semester is from October 1 to March 31, and summer semester from April 1 to September 30. Does it mean the study year is the whole year? How many months are you in Leipzig for study?

 

[Doyeon Jin]

Hello.

1) Let me address that, university in Germany is not as stringent as the ones you are thinking of elsewhere in the world. They generally only look at your high school grades. If you have good grades, you should get in. I couldn't find the statistics either.

2) Deutschlandstipendium is mainly for students who have already studied in the university. If you manage things carefully, it shouldn't cost more than 600 euros a month. And I'd say 300 is a lot for thousands of students.

3) You can work up to 10 hrs during the school year and 19 hrs during the vacation period.

4) There are vacations in between, and you don't have to go to the lectures. It's just the time period that you have to do the work at home or take exams, I guess. There should be plenty of vacation.

Best of luck! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks so much! I didn't expect such a quick response^○^
Another question: Are student apartments near the campus? I mean, do you need to use some kind of transport to get there? Thanks in advance))0)

It depends on which student dorm building you get. There are quite a few student dorms situated apart from each other. There are two or three student dorm buildings that are close to the physics faculty. As for the transportation, it's included in the semester fee you pay to the university, which is nice.

Best wishes!

Hello
I have some queries about IPSP.
Can you help me?

 

[Abdul Muhaymin]

Is there anyone applying in 2019 winter semester? I'm going to apply for IPSP bachelor this semester and I'm looking for a fellow applicant. I've already uploaded all the required documents in uni-assist. The application phase hasn't started yet. I'm not sure what to do after submitting the online application. How should I send the printed document to the university admission office? by airmail like DHL or just scanned copy to the mail address of course buddy?

 

[Sibasish]

Hello. I'm going to apply as soon as my A levels come out
Here are the documents I'll apply with:
A level results

Hi everyone .
i am almost done filling my application for the ipsp program and i have a questions .
i have finished my secondary school studies with a percentage of 90% .

I've finished an academic year in my home country in general engineering successfully with an overall percentage of 67% (i didnt study my first semester duo to family issues which i don't think the university should or will care about lol).

And i have an IELTS score of band 7 and a toefl pbt of 92 .
so my question is , compared to other accepted applicants and the university's criteria does these scores secure my acceptance or not ? .
i am asking because if these scores do secure a spot on the program i have some alternative decisions that i need to make in the current time period that i would probably won,t in case i do get rejected .
i hope i get an answer to my questions quick thanks allot .

Hi! There shouldn't be any problems with your English certificate, as for your grades it depends on your country and the requirements for applying to a German university, if you looked it up and saw that your certificates are equivalent to the Abitur then ypu shouldn't have any problems and be accepted.
Ipsp is a free admission program, meaning that if you meet all the requirements you'll be accepted.
Good luck!

the requirements for my country and i quote "Secondary School Certificate" and "successfully completing an academic year in the same subject or related subject" and i check both, they didn't refer to a minimum gpa or anything like , so do you think that should qualify me ? .
thanks for the quick response

You shouldn't have any problems then (:
All that is left now is doing the paper work to get here

You seem to be from Egypt my man.. contact me in messages if you need anything as I've gone through all the same procedures but, as pia told you.. you should be fine

Hello everyone , I have received the admission letter from the university for the IPSP bachelors and I am from India.

hi Rohan Kulkarni,
hello rohan congrats on getting admission:) for IPSP (sorry i am a little late). i was willing to ask you a few question currently i am studying in the 10th grade in India and i had a few questions in mind to join IPSP bachelors program. I hope you reply to them :)

1) did you complete Joint Entrance Exams JEE mains and advanced to get admission for the program?
2)from which board (HSC,ISC,AISCE[IGCSE],IB) did you complete in 11th and 12th grade?
3) the admission and procedure for IPSP you went through?
(so i know what path to take nothing personal)

I am very eager to join a physics college such as Leipzig university and i would love your response and would be waiting for it. as it would help me drastically in my college life. i hope you understand i would be more than happy for your response.
Thank you,

 

[Mohammed issa]

greetings I've got an email from uni assist today saying that i don't have German proficiency proof for the studenkolleg even though i applied for direct enrollment with two academic engineering semesters and the university website does not state any German language requirements or the necessity of completing a prep course if you have two academic semester , does anyone have an idea regarding this or had the same issues i contacted uni assist and waiting for a response .

Greets, I am from Ukraine and going to attend Physics International Programme in Leipzig in September 2020 (sad, but physics is close to dead in my country). Have a few questions:

- what is the way of sending TOEFL scores? Do I have to actually receive the original report and send its certified copy as a part of the whole package, or purchasing the report for recipient is enough? Who is the receiver -- Uni-Assist or Leipzig University?

- Buddy says only the required docs are to be sent. Is the program actually non-competitive? Do additional documents strengthen the application?

- financial matter: as I see I will need 8640 EUR for 1 year to obtain a visa, or 720 EUR/mth. This is a common Germany number, so should be > than OK for East Germany, right? What about the next years -- can I obtain some scholarships during studies (Physics is not business studies, but a subject one has to fully concentrate on, not working in parallel)?

- what about average English level in Leipzig? I am going to fully concentrate on Physics/Math for a year, perhaps learning very-very basic German, but not that much.

- does anyone know any English-taught BSc in Physics in Europe, relatively affordable (so not England)? I've already been accepted into private Jacobs University for 2019, but that was far too expensive (and for 2020 I will prefer Leipzig -- it looks more fundamental and nature-oriented, which is exactly how I see myself)

Thanks a lot!
