German Universities among the best worldwide

Germany enjoys a remarkable reputation for its higher education sector: there are more than 400 Universities, and many of them score high in international rankings.


THE (Times Higher Education) has announced its World University Rankings 2021, and this year 21 Universities in Germany have made it into the top 200 - making Germany the third-best represented country in the world after the US and the UK.


Once again, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich is the highest-ranked university in Germany, coming in at place 32 overall, followed by the Technical University of Munich at 41 and Heidelberg University at 42nd.

    ...  host country for foreign students and ranks fourth in the world with almost 400,000 foreign students


    The reasons for this attraction besides its world-leading Universities are:


    - Germany’s leading position as a science and industry location


    - the diversity of its study options: 20,029 courses are now offered at German universities (2020)


    - including many English-language study options especially at the postgraduate level


    - a high level of education is guaranteed regardless of the study location


    - with the DIA students can directly enroll any study course at any university in Germany


    - students do not have to compete for one of the study places reserved for foreigners. With the DIA they are considered as students with German citizenship for university enrolment ('Bildungsinländer')


    -  holders of the DIA do not need the year of preparation for entering German universities ('Studienkolleg')


    - no tuition fees are charged (at public Universities)


    Given the major costs for studying at top Universities around the world, for many parents this is a decisive factor to choose the German education-path for their children.
