Higher Education Landscape
A Compass for German Higher Education
The Higher Education Compass of the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) provides extensive information on Germany's higher education institutions, on the range of studies and programs that they offer, on whom to contact locally, and on the institutions' international cooperation. These data are maintained and updated by the institutions themselves and are made directly available to you by Germany's state (public) or state-recognised universities of applied sciences, colleges and universities of the arts and music, and traditional universities.
The CHE University Ranking
The CHE University Ranking is the most comprehensive and detailed ranking of German higher education institutions (HEI). It includes 35 subjects and serves more than three-quarters of all first-year higher education students. In addition to facts about study programs, teaching, equipment, and research, the ranking also includes the assessments of 250,000 students on the study conditions at their HEI as well as an evaluation of the reputation of the departments by professors of the individual subjects.
Since its launch in 1998 by the Centrum for Hochschulentwicklung think tank, the CHE University Ranking has provided useful information for the primary target group of first-year students, as well as existing students and HEIs.
TU9: The German Institutes of Technology
Excellence in research and teaching, internationally attractive
TU9 is the network of the leading Institutes of Technology in Germany: RWTH Aachen, TU Berlin, TU Braunschweig, TU Darmstadt, TU Dresden, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, TU München, Universität Stuttgart.
All of the TU9 universities have a long tradition to look back on and enjoy an excellent reputation among universities at home and abroad. Founded in the age of industrialisation, they have played a significant part in the development of engineering science ever since. Their scientific potential, range of courses and student numbers have grown continuously over a period of almost 200 years. This common ground forms the basis of their cooperation in the university association TU9.

German University Applications Made Easy: UNI-ASSIST
Originally called the “Application Services for International Students”, UNI-ASSIST functions as a reliable partner for international students and its member universities. UNI-ASSIST supports the universities, enabling them to take more time for the qualitative selection of their international students and to provide them with more personal support during their course of study. UNI-ASSIST is a partner for international university applicants, helping them to apply in the right manner. That way, suitable applicants are significantly more likely to be accepted and to successfully complete their degree in Germany. An additional advantage for international applicants is the possibility of applying for admission to several universities with only one set of application documents.
