The reports have been evaluated by the Wissenschaft Weltoffen 2020, DAAD, and the German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies and showing the statistics that the international students from the MENA countries are increased by 68% in the last three years.

What Is Next Target?

According to the current pandemic situation, it is difficult to evaluate that to what extent the tendency of the international students would reach. However, Germany is still under the interest of international students. DAAD has revealed that the interest of the international students is still high because of the high application rate for the 2020/21 winter semester at the uni-assist association. It is revealed that as compared to the previous year the rate of applications is at 80%.

Joybrato Mukherjee, president of DAAD said that Germany has been able to improve its good reputation among international students. However, around 80,000 students were departed from Germany temporarily and they are facing difficulties to come back. Furthermore, the possible changes in the policy are introducing to facilitate those students to make their comeback possible.
