Germany
is a place of remarkable beauty and stunning splendor.
The country has long been associated with learning
as the oldest university in Germany was founded
in Heidelberg in 1386.
Germany currently has more than 300 institutions
of higher education that include 82 universities,
132 such institutions that offer shorter and practically
oriented courses, and other institutions. Germany
has a high turnout of foreign students as it offers
a high range of study possibilities.
German Universities are autonomous and provide special
emphasis on research and teaching. Some of the groundbreaking
discoveries that the world has seen have been the
result of German Universities. This is one of the
strongest reasons why students increasingly prefer
Germany for research studies.
German Universities offer courses in Medicine, Law,
English, German, and various other disciplines.
Academic freedom is one of the main characteristics
of the German university system and is one of the
reasons why public universities in Germany don’t
charge any fee.
All the German universities have a Foreign Student
office that looks after the queries of the foreign
students and applicants. The German Academic Exchange
Service (DAAD) facilitates academic exchange of
the institutions of higher education in Germany.
The DAAD works towards promoting international academic
relations particularly through exchange of students
and teachers.
Many universities in Germany offer academic training
necessary for a well groomed professional career. |
