About The Project

Go Germany Screen Shot

As a prospective master student in Germany, I spent a lot of time searching for international programs and their related articles shared by applicants. I know there's a DAAD site which is helpful for searching the desired program; however, I don't like the way it displays search results and I think if I can find related articles shared by former applicants at the same time, that would be simply awesome, so I created this site. I want to create a search tool so amazing that it'll be the one you find your desired programs -- I think this it.

Here's why:

  • Your time should be focused on your application.
  • You shouldn't spend too much effort searching related articles from different sources.
