Studying in

websites which cover different relevant aspects for people interested in

The Higher Education Compass features the range of
information on all German institutions of higher education and the study
courses they offer. In addition, it lets you access the information on the
institutions' own websites. The Higher Education Compass provides important information on
all state or state-approved higher education institutions (HEIs) in the
Federal Republic of Germany: all undergraduate and postgraduate study
opportunities offered by them, all doctoral study opportunities and all
international cooperation agreements of German higher education institutions.
The Higher
Education Compass does not include information on establishments or
courses of study outside the higher education sector.
Should you require further information, e.g. on a particular higher
education institution or course of study, you are advised to contact the
institution directly as soon as possible and to address any questions you may
have in due time. In general the "Zentrale Studienberatungsstelle"
(central student advisory service) of the respective institution is the best
starting point for initial enquiries. They will also be able to provide you
with information on other establishments and organisations. Also the
on-line-version of Studien- &
Berufswahl offers you a list of all programmes of study at German higher
education institutions as well as general information on study in Germany.
