Study in Germany:
Some reasons for studying in Germany
There are a number of compelling reasons why Germany should become the country of your choice for both studying and research.
The academic excellence and reputation of Germany’s more than 300 universities.
Did you know that one hundred years ago half of all students studying abroad were studying in Germany? The country can indeed look back on a long tradition in education, science and research. The oldest university for instance is the Ruprecht-Karls-University in Heidelberg that was founded in 1386.
There is hardly another country in the world that boasts such a density of higher education institutions!
More than 350 higher education institutions with a tradition of academic excellence make it hard to decide where and what to study: over 400 different degree courses are on offer, and there is virtually nothing imaginable under the sun that you cannot study somewhere in Germany. The capital Berlin alone – with roughly the population of Armenia – is currently home to no less than sixteen universities and colleges! Today, about 250,000 foreigners are studying at German universities, making it the third most popular host country for international students after the USA and UK.
The moderate cost of living and studying in Germany.
Tuition fees at public German universities are very moderate. For most of the public universities, only a small administrative fee (between 35 € and 250 € per semester) is payable. Some of the public universities charge additional tuition fees of ca. 500 € per semester. Living expenses amount to around 585 to 750 € per month, depending on the region.
An increasing number of international degree courses with English as medium of instruction.
Many German higher education institutions offer courses that are taught in English and lead to an international degree, such as Bachelor, Master or PhD. You can find them easily through the DAAD database.
Germany’s geographical location in the heart of Europe and its political and economical weight as the EU’s largest member state.
Germany is home to some of the world's leading companies in many areas, such as information technology, health care, biotechnology and the automobile industry, making it the world' s leading export nation.
Many cultural highlights, historic towns and castles, beautiful scenery and moderate climate.
The wide range of cultural activities in Germany offers something for everybody! And a trip across Germany is a journey through just about every cultural epoch.
The importance of the German language.
With over 100 million native speakers, German is the most widely-spoken first language in Europe. The strength of German business and industry and the increasing global activity of German companies and corporations shows that the German language is also gaining significance in the international market.
