Study in Germany

Technorati Profile

"The principle of the freedom of research and teaching
is a highly-valued asset at Germany's universities"

In Germany, the research and teaching are closely combined with each other for higher education. At present, there are more 102 universities which focus in teaching methodological and theoretical knowledge. Some universities have a strong technical/engineering focus and consequently call themselves technical universities or universities of technology, even though students can also increasingly study arts, humanities and social sciences subjects there today.

In comparison to the more applications and practice oriented Fachhochschulen, the universities attach great importance to basic or fundamental research. As far as possible, the orientation and interpretation of this research should be free from political targets and externally-controlled interests. The principle of the freedom of research and teaching is a highly-valued asset at Germany's universities – a response to the misuse of science and research in Germany's more recent history.

Qualifying in Germany - Study and Research Opportunities (QIG)
The QIG-Opportunities are submitted voluntarily by higher education institutions offering study programs in which a high degree of support is offered and/or for which international students are highly encouraged to apply.

These opportunities represent only a small number of all German study programs and the selection of QIG-Opportunities in no way implies a difference in academic quality.

Browse full listing QIG-Opportunities by the German Rectors’ Conference.

Semester
The academic year is divided into two semesters (= two six month periods) at German universities. Programmes can begin in the winter and summer semester, respectively. Dates may vary slightly from one university to the next. Please contact the Registrar's Office at your university of choice for the exact dates.

• For Universities of Applies Sciences (Fachhochschulen)
  -Summer semester: March to August (lectures begin: 15 March)
  -Winter semester: September to February (lectures begin: 15 September)
  
• For Universities (Universitäten)
  -Summer semester: April to September (lectures begin: 15 April)
  -Winter semester: October to March (lectures begin: 15 October)
  
• Semester vacation/recess (non-lecture period)

Universität
uni-assist universitiesThe following list gives an overview of the universities that are members of uni-assist. In general, if you want to apply for admission at one of the listed universities, you have to send your application to uni-assist.Finally, there are also universities who process the applications for certain subjects and/or of certain applicant groups for example, some master courses or applicants coming from the European Union – by themselves and not through uni-assist. In this case too, send your appllications directly to the university! (Detailed information on such exceptional cases will be given to you directly at the universities, you can find them for example on the university web sites.)
