Degrees in Germany

As the capital city, Berlin is an excellent place to earn a degree in Germany. Berlin is home to Freie University, which happens to be the largest university in the country. Known as a “university of excellence,” Freie University is known worldwide for its Otto Suhr Institute of Political Science, the Charité, and International Summer and Winter University. Other top institutions in Berlin include Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Berlin University of the Arts.

Located in the Bavarian region, Munich is another wonderful location for international students to earn a degree abroad in Germany. Munich is Germany’s third largest city; it has been ranked the most affordable major city in Germany, and is even ranked as the world’s 14th best city for students. Students will be able to enjoy celebrating the famous Oktoberfest (get your dirndl ready!) while earning a degree in Munich. Technische Universität Munchen (TUM), one of the top 100 universities in the world, is located in Munich and has partnerships with many famous American universities, such as Stanford and MIT, due to its strengths in technical areas, like engineering, and research.

Frankfurt is a great choice for degrees abroad in Germany as well. If you choose to move to Frankfurt you won’t be the only foreigner around, as almost one in three people living in Frankfurt do not hold a German passport! International students are sure to be drawn to this diverse city boasting Germany’s financial and business sectors, including the European Central Bank. The Goethe University of Frankfurt (full name: Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main) is based across four campuses around the city. Best known for its Institut für Sozialforschung (Institute for Social Research), Goethe University is also affiliated with several Nobel Prize winners!
