List of Top Universities and Colleges in Germany for International Students Scholarships

This is a list of the universities in Germany, of which there are about seventy. The list also includes the thirteen German universities of technology, which have official and full university status, but usually focus on engineering and the natural sciences rather than covering the whole spectrum of academic disciplines. Some seventeen German universities rank among top 250 universities in world Highest ranked universities in Germany include some research oriented universities for MS, MBA and Medical and Engineering.

The list does not, however, cover the German Fachhochschulen (University of Applied Sciences) or institutions that cover only certain disciplines such as business studies, fine arts, or engineering. Those do not have all of the responsibilities and limitations of universities, and they cannot award doctorate degrees on their own.

In general, public German universities don't charge tuition fees. This usually also applies to foreign students.
