Previously, Germany had almost different higher educational system. Recent days they’re trying to setup their system more internationalized.
The traditional University is Called “Universitat “and they are mainly research based. Next one is University of Applied Science called “Hochschule “and they are more practical or implementing based. And last one is Colleges of art and music. They are basically controlled by state or state-accredited institutions of higher education. Basically higher education institutions in Germany is financed by the state and therefore fall under its regulatory control. However, there are also higher education institutions run by the Protestant and Catholic Churches, and by private institutions that are officially recognized by the state. Most private higher education institutions are universities of applied sciences.
