Here is our guide to higher education in Germany, including a listing of universities.- Prioritise what is most important to you in the whole university experience.
- Research using the internet, career advisory services and your contacts.
- Research and compare course fees.
- Research and compare the type and cost of accommodation available.
University size
Larger universities are not always the best, but a big one can offer you more options and conveniences (more labs, libraries, residence halls and varied sport facilities). Some universities are spread over more than one location.
Accommodation
Another consideration is where you are going to live. Many colleges and universities have their students in a residence hall, at least for the first and last year.
Admission
Getting admitted to a German state university can be a trying process. Many programs are restricted regarding numbers of new students, and start only once per year. Acceptance of foreign credentials is difficult and credit transfers rarely happen without losses.
Finding more information
The DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) explains the different levels of higher education studies, along with other essential information in English. Visit their website at www.daad.de/en/.
Some information about private universities can be found at www.private-hochschulen.net (German language).
One of the best online resources for an overview of higher education in Germany is www.hochschulekompass.de.
A great resource for information on studying in Germany is www.studienwahl.de, a German site that is sponsored by the German Provincial Commission for Educational Planning and the Federal Employment Agency. The site covers every aspect of studying in Germany and includes a complete list of colleges and universities in Germany.
