In Europe, Germany is the most popular destination for international students due to International Degree Programmes (IDP) taught in English medium, tuition fee waivers and career opportunities after graduation. Germany tops the list of the most internationalised countries in the higher education arena. It has a lot to offer with more than 400 state and private universities, and a variety of courses. Most German universities are sponsored by the state to keep fees affordable, and there are a growing number of scholarships available.
Studying in Germany is not restricted to the German medium alone. Over 1500 IDPs offer courses that are entirely or partly taught in English. Degrees in Germany are offered in the two-tier international system of bachelor’s and master’s degrees, with credits for attendance and examination passes that can be accumulated and transferred. The German university landscape is highly diverse, comprising around sixty academies of art and music, many of them world-renowned, roughly 120 universities – some very traditional institutions amongst them – plus at least 160 Fachhochschulen (FH for short), or universities of applied science, which have established over the past thirty years or so.
