Studying in Germany

For detailed information on studying in Germany please check the following websites which cover different relevant aspects for people interested in studying in Germany.

HRK - Association of Universities and other Higher Education Institutions in Germany

Higher Education Compass

Studien- & Berufswahl

www.studienwahl.de

 

 

 

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.
