Why?
Poor preparation
One of the most common reasons is
poor preparation for the German culture
culture and the education system.
In particular, the high degree of
independence causes most of them to fail.
In order to succeed in the German university
system successfully, you need to know the
German cultural rules.

My name is Tanya
I am an intercultural trainer at the Inside Culture Academy
Originally coming from India, I embarked on my academic journey to Germany 2.5 years ago to pursue a doctorate in cross-cultural psychology. And ever since then, both India and Germany have been an integral part of who I am.
In my training, I aim to keep the blend of my academic expertise, personal experiences, and a passion for fostering intercultural competence. Because ultimately the skill is not just about understanding cultural differences; it's about embracing them through thick and thin!
