Germany tops the list of the most internationalised countries in the higher education arena.
The “Global Gauge” survey named Germany as the most supportive country for overseas students, in an international league table. Germany scores on account of its internationalisation strategy, which actively promotes mobility in both directions, also through funding. The survey, implemented by the British Council, compares the higher education systems in twelve countries on various critical parameters such as accessibility, support for foreign students, quality and reputation of degrees worldwide, and the extent of mobility of university academics to study and do research abroad.
“Germany’s top position in the ranking is a well-deserved achievement of our higher education institutions. Over the last few years, they have made considerable efforts and faced global competition successfully in attracting foreign students while offering their own junior academics international training” says Dr. Dorothea Rüland, General Secretary of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is the internationalisation agency functioning in an advisory & supporting role for the German higher education institutions.
