Home « Study and research in Germany « Welcome to our country!
Our DAAD Blog has been running since September 2008 and enables students all around the world to write about their time in Germany. Interested? If so, please take a look at the DAAD Blog
Surrounded by nine neighbouring countries, Germany offers a diverse and interesting higher education landscape. You can study at one of the 104 Universities, 203 Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulen) and 51 Academies and Universities of Art, Music and Film which not only open up a chance to gain an excellent academic training in science and research. You also have the opportunity to get to know more about the country and the people who live there. Looking for a degree programme?

A country with many of sides to it
You will soon discover that Germany is a country with many different sides to it and is open for a wide and diverse range of different ideas, cultures and people from all around the world. Innovation and high tech are just as much at home here as are a deep understanding and awareness of its open culture and tradition. Economic success and participation in global competition go hand in hand with social responsibility and international solidarity.

Mai, Tomás and Nina will help
Our three Scouts Mai, Tomás and Nina explain how you can open a bank account, what you need to take into consideration when looking for a place to live, and how you can find and make German friends. You can find more information about living in Germany at http://www.studieren-in.de/ - the DAAD's new interactive website.
We wish you all the best and a successful start in Germany!
