II. How to attract incoming students….: Internationalizing German higher education
Analysis at the end of the 90s: „Losing Attractiveness“
Decrease in the number of students and researchers from formerly important sending countries like USA, Japan, Korea, United Kingdom, Latin America
Example of competitors like US, UK, Australia, actively promoting their institutions of Higher Education
ongoing „brain drain“ to the U.S. (young researchers,
mainly in natural and bio-medical sciences)
dropping numbers of German students in natural and engineering sciences
9Dr. Annette Julius, 04/2008
II. How to attract incoming students….: Setting aims and objectives for internationalizing German higher education
Position Germany as a relevant global provider for higher education and research
Attract qualified students and researchers from abroad
Export German study programmes
• Develop new attractive study programmes for international students
• Enhance the general framework conditions of studying in Germany for international students
• Start a global marketing and public relations campaign both for the HE system itself and specific programmes of the HEIs
10Dr. Annette Julius, 04/2008
II. How to attract incoming students….: Developing new and attractive study programmes
… by introducing
more than 1.000 international degree programs (50 % taught in English)
400 international Graduate Schools
