The rest of the students belong to Universities of Applied Sciences College, Berufsakademien Vocational and Technical School and other related fields.

A comprehensive university, usually called Universit? T, focus on teaching and scientific research. These schools can award diplomas to Diplom, Magister Artium and Doctor. Higher vocational colleges, usually called junior colleges, mainly train applied talents. Students can get DiplomaFH after 4-5 years of professional study. Some professional colleges and universities also offer the course of continuing English education (Aufbaustudium), which lasts for one and a half to two years, and you can get a master's degree after graduation. Applicants generally require a bachelor's degree or equivalent. Under normal circumstances, higher vocational colleges have no right to confer doctoral degrees.

The teaching language in German universities is mainly German, and some universities have gradually opened international courses in English teaching in recent years. Foreign students usually need to pass the German Entrance Test (DSH) or the German as a Foreign Language Test (Daf). German universities have two semesters each academic year, from June 10 to February and from April to July.
