car and university questions

Hello all,

I have a couple of questions and maybe someone can help me here. I’m planning to leave Canada to live somewhere in Germany with my girlfriend (she’s German).

1- I would like to ship my car in a container. It’s a European car so I won’t have too many modifications to do to get it in order to conform to German laws if none. As anyone here have ever shipped their car to Europe? What are the procedures? If it’s a personal item will I need to pay a VAT on it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

2- I’m searching for a university program that I could do in Germany. Do German education system have short length programs like certifications (30 credit), minors or majors?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers
