Also this year, many students have reviewed their experiences of studying at a different university. Based on these reviews, Studyportals has created the International Student Satisfaction Awards. These awards are based on thousands of reviews and opinions from international students in Europe.
Many students that went to study in Germany have shared their experience. A total of 1003 students left a review of their experience in Germany, with an overall satisfaction grade of 8.9, ranking 11th in this year’s award session! 150 different schools have been reviewed, of which 15 universities are awarded. A university is eligible for an award when having an average student satisfaction of at least 8 out of 10 based on a minimum of 20 reviews.
