GESC is an accredited organisation with links to top German Universities
Germany is home to nearly 400 higher education institutions, which collectively offer more than 19,000 study programmes. Of these, an impressive 45 feature in the QS World University Rankings 2018, and three appear in the top 100. These include:
- Technical University, Munich (64th).
- Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München (66th).
- Ruprecht-Karls-Universität, Heidelberg (68th).
Roughly 95% of students in Germany are based within the public university system. Regardless of whether the institution is public or private, it will be one of the following:
- University – university courses are academically focused and offered in a range of subjects, at Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate level. Within this group are some specialist institutions, such as technical universities, dedicated to engineering and the natural sciences, and colleges of education.
- University of Applied Science (UAS) – UAS institutions offer more practical courses in fields such as technology, medicine and social work up to Masters level. These courses are designed to prepare students for entering the workplace.
- College of Art, Film and Music – these specialist colleges are for students of creative disciplines and have varying entry requirements. While you’ll need genuine talent to be considered, you may also need to sit an entrance exam and/or present a portfolio.
Some universities and UAS institutions also offer dual qualifications, where you’ll sign a contract with a company and split your time between studying and working.
