Technical Universities in Germany
Originally, and as the name implies, the German technical Universities restricted their teaching to technical and engineering disciplines. However, during the course of time, they have developed into more comprehensive higher education institutions. Hence, students can now also study arts and humanities degree courses at the technical universities. Nevertheless, the focus of their activities continues to be directed towards engineering and science.
Fachhochschule Institutions
Students are increasingly deciding to study at Germany's Fachhochschule institutions, particularly because the studies are shorter and have a more practical focus than is the case in university studies with a greater research focus. The term Fachhochschule is often translated as university of applied sciences to reflect this higher educational and practical nature.More information about this type of higher education institution can be found in the section "Type of university" on the respective Fachhochschulen pages.
The academic year runs from October to July and is on the semester system. The German curriculum emphasizes independent study. Students are expected to do independent reading, prepare oral reports and papers and attend lectures and small group discussions. Student must complete a certain amount of coursework to sit for the interim exams.
German Universities grade on a scale of 1-5; 1 is the highest while 5 is failing. The academic record consists of the student's collection of Scheine, or certificates of completion for each course.
