According to the facts, there are
more than 400 universities in 175 cities across the 3.5 million km2
widespread of Germany. In general, these universities vouch for excellent education,
highly qualified professors and lecturers and good infrastructure. The
Universities in Germany are federally managed. Each state has a governing body
which regulates the education in these universities. Majority (over 240) of the universities are government funded and thus one
does not need to pay a tuition fee.
One might also opt for a private
university, which generally comes at a high tuition fee price. As of
today there are about 100 private universities, majority of which offer applied
sciences education. According to the fact stated at daad.de, only 5% of students
in Germany study in private universities. However, this number is on the rise.
One must be careful that the private university has state recognized, failing
which the education from such a private university may not be recognized in
international market.
