Over the past decade, Germany has adopted the Bologna Process, a higher education agenda across the European Higher Education Area. A significant outcome of the Bologna Process is that German higher education institutions now have bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs, which give international students the flexibility to enter the higher education system at a level that best suits them. (Most international students study at the graduate level, often in English-taught programs).
What is Bologna process?
The main objective of the European study reform (“Bologna Process”) has been to create a common European Higher Education Area, supporting mobility for students and teachers at an international level and promoting the mutual recognition of grades and exams across the member countries.
The other reasons that attract international students are:
Low cost tuition fees,
Post-study work rights for Indian students,
Generous scholarships,
Promoting world-class research with millions of euros invested in dozens of university-based research projects,
Being Global research Hub.
But by 2020, enrollment rates are expected to shrink, owing to declining demographics and the pull of overseas opportunities for top German students. Owning up to this looming future, Germany has begun to implement policies that will remedy a declining pool of German graduates: significant inroads in implementing the Bologna reforms, offering subsidized or free education—with hundreds of programs in English—for international students, and liberalizing immigration policies for students with a German degree. As Germany begins to confront the challenge of declining domestic enrollment, attracting top students from around the world will become even more important.
