This Multidimensional ranking uses up to 40 different indicators to provide a differentiated and detailed view of the strengths and weakness of German higher education by subject areas. This is complemented by a research ranking published every fall to provide specific information on the research contribution of German higher education institutions. You can find out what the top ranked German Universities are in every subject area.

German Universities are divided in certain rank system or depend upon the practical or theoretical approach

1. Technische Universität
2. Universität
3. Fachhochschule
4. Technische Hochschule

Technische Universität is the high ranked universities in Germany which has also accreditation in world ranking system. System of teaching and standard or study is higher than any other university or institute in Germany.There are 9 Technische Universität in Germany:

• A Look at the Country’s Marketing and Recruitment Strategies

Germany has become an increasingly important player in international education in recent years. Germany gave platform to international student enrollments to become the fourth-largest host country of international students worldwide after the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Germany’s growing attractiveness as an international study destination is astonishing. Its appeal would not be possible without the well-organized, well-funded internationalization and marketing strategies pursued by the country’s government and higher education institutions (HEIs).

Growing international student mobility is a global trend. In the two decades between 1998 and 2017, the number of international students enrolled in degree programs outside their home countries spiked from 1.95 million to 5.3 million worldwide. Within that context, Germany is part of a group of countries that include Australia, Canada, and China, all of which have absorbed ever-larger numbers of these mobile students—increasingly at the expense of the declining top destination country, the United States.

Germany recently surged from 282,201 in 2013 to 374,583 in 2018 (an increase of 33 percent). This rapid uptick followed a continual rise in international student enrollments since the early 1990s that was only briefly interrupted during the Great Recession of 2008/09. Fully 13 percent of all students in Germany are now international students (up from 11 percent in 2013).

Academic institutions and government actors have somewhat divergent interests. While the federal government naturally pursues a macro-economic approach, HEIs and states are more concerned about their institutions and regions. That said, while individual HEIs have varying internationalization strategies, fostering student mobility is a shared goal. Large-scale marketing programs are coordinated and steered by national bodies like the German Council of Science and Humanities, and the German Rectors’ Conference, the country’s university association.

While Germany is generally well-suited to be an international education hub, the fact that German is not a language widely spoken throughout the world is a significant handicap.

Great emphasis has therefore been placed on the development of English-taught international study programs. The number of these programs has grown exponentially since the mid-2000s, if mostly at the graduate level in the form of new Bologna master’s degree programs. Between 2007 and 2010, the number of English-taught master’s programs jumped from less than 100 to more than 700 in 2013, before reaching 1,268 in 2010.

Tuition-free education in Germany is a major draw for international students.

Needless to say, scholarships are another big motivator for international students, particularly for those from low-income countries. Thus, they are an important element of the internationalization strategies of different countries. In Germany, measures like scholarship funding are critical to inbound mobility, because most universities aren’t dependent on tuition fees and have little incentive to bring in international students for purely economic reasons—unlike HEIs in countries like  Canada, USA, Australia where a fair amount of universities milk international students as cash cows.

Available scholarships include funding for full-fledged degree programs, as well as for short-term study or research visits of a few weeks or months. Overall, there’s a great emphasis on promoting advanced research -49% of all international PhD students in Germany received funding in 2018. While some scholarship programs are open to all students, some are limited to those from specific world regions .Average scholarship amounts in 2016 ranged from 408 euros a month for undergraduate students, to 642 euros for master’s students, to 1139 Euros  for PhD students

If you are a Non-European student and want to study and live in Germany, you will cherish the some  rights to roam and enter in Schengen countries Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland free entry, the opportunity to study and work without any additional permits.

Your student visa that allows you to reside in Germany for more than 90 days and also get a residency permit to become able to live and move around the country. The residency permit will also allow you to travel visa-free in the whole Schengen Area(26 countries in Europe -you can travel without their visa, with having German Student visa ), which makes for a wonderful opportunity to visit the countries you are interested in within the time-frame.

Once you receive the letter of acceptance from the designated German University, it is recommendable to apply for a student visa at least 3 months prior to your intended departure (the time you are expected to be in Germany).

As for the residency permit, all your documentation will be sent to the Immigration Office of the German region where your University is stationed, and after every bureaucratic procedure is done you will be issued the residency permit.

German Degree is highly valuable because it has content of well-planned research structure and internship/Thesis plays important role to find your ways better before finishing your degrees.

German Employers know how structured degree is finished even if you are outsider or international and how you integrated your self in international education system. As an international student you will present your self best to survive in the German Job Market because you have left your country and adjusted your self in the different language with best outstanding qualification.

That said, regardless of your academic field and the country where you are willing to find a job, your German degree will help you get a high paid and perfect job.

Germany has in recent years streamlined its residency requirements for international students from non-EU countries. In 2012, it extended the time international students can stay in the country to look for work after graduation from 12 to 18 months. During that period, students can work without restrictions. Those that find a job in a field related to their degree—and that pays a minimum threshold salary 43k Euro—are then entitled to the Eu Blue Card, a residency permit that since 2012 has been available to international graduates and highly skilled workers in Germany.

The card is valid for four years and allows holders to bring their spouses and children into Germany and to apply for permanent residency after 33 months. The card also opens pathways for eventual citizenship and migration to other EU countries. The current regulations therefore open long-term migration possibilities for international students, if they have adequate German language abilities and can find well-paid skilled employment.
