Foreword

Fachhochschulen (universities of applied sciences) occupy an established posi-tion in the modern German university system. Since their establishment, theyhave received praise from both the political and public arena for the practicalorientation that has become their trademark. Within the German system, theeducational mission and profile of the Fachhochschulen are especially adaptedto the requirements and needs of professional life.

An increasing number of young people interested in receiving higher educa-tion are choosing this type of university. The Fachhochschulen are gaining inpopularity. This is why the federal government and the federal states – support-ed by recommendations from the Science Council – decided to graduallyincrease the admission capacity of the universities of applied sciences to 35 %and later 40 % of all first-year students.

In addition to practice-oriented instruction, other hallmarks of theFachhochschulen are applied research and development, the quality and quan-tity of which have risen perceptibly since the mid-1980s. Supported by pro-grammes from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, willingness andqualifications for applied research and development have been increased,which has been of great benefit to small-scale industry and trade.

The Fachhochschulen have established partnerships with universities in otherEuropean countries. European degree programmes in which universities fromvarious EU member countries work together were first developed atFachhochschulen. Young people need forms of education which consistentlyand purposefully both provide professional qualifications and take intoaccount the types of qualifications needed by the economy. TheFachhochschulen have made great progress toward this goal.

This brochure provides a comprehensive overview of the Fachhochschulenand their wide range of offers in Germany.

1. Origin and Development

The system of higher education in theFederal Republic of Germany currentlyincludes some 340 institutes of higher edu-cation. These can be divided into the fol-lowing types:

■ Universities■ Fachhochschulen■ Teacher training colleges■ Kunsthochschulen

The largest groups are the Fachhochschulenand the universities.

The Fachhochschulen – of which there are152 in Germany, 25 of that number in easternGermany (status: April 1999) – are the newesttype of institution in the German system ofhigher education.

This number also encompasses non-stateFachhochschulen, including those run bychurches. These institutions of higher edu-cation are state-accredited. In addition,there are some 30 administration Fachhoch-schulen, which can be attended only by students who are civil service employees.

The Fachhochschule, as a type of institu-tion of higher education, was founded witha policy statement for the establishment of

Fachhochschulen, issued by the ministerpresidents of the federal states on 5 July1968. A second important date is 31 Octoberof the same year. The signing of the“Agreement between the Federal States andthe Federal Republic on Standardisation inthe Area of Fachhochschulen” establishedthe Fachhochschulen as a new type of insti-tution of higher education with an individualmission and profile.

The establishment of the Fachhochschulenby the states was a reaction to the increas-ing demands of professional life – causedby scientific and technical advances – andthe corresponding new qualitative require-ments placed on education.

The Fachhochschulen in western Germany,most of which were established between1969 and 1971, grew from former engineer-ing schools, academies and higher-levelFachschulen for design, for social work orfor economy. The process of establishingFachhochschulen in the new German stateshas been taking place since 1991. The newstates have from the very start been able tobuild on the experience and developmentsgleaned from the then 20-year history ofFachhochschulen in the old federal states ofwestern Germany.

Engineering studies oriented to these newrequirements, for example, needed to pro-vide considerably greater methodological

and scientific depth than existing education-al facilities were able to offer.

The growing demand for education,especially the increasing number of thoseinterested in receiving higher educationoffering direct professional qualifications,was also an important factor.

2. Mission and Profile

Just like all types of institutions of high-er learning, the Fachschulen have the fol-lowing mission:

■ Supporting the maintenance and develop-ment of sciences and the arts through research,instruction, studies and continuing education.

■ Preparing students for occupations whichrequire the application of scientific findingsand methods or artistic design abilities.

■ Promoting the international cooperation,especially on a European level, in the highereducational system, as well as exchangesbetween German institutions of higher learn-ing and those in other countries.

■ Encouraging the transfer of knowledgeand technology.

Fachhochschulen also have their own specialeducational mission within the German sys-tem of higher education:

■ Studies at Fachhochschulen are stronglyoriented to the requirements and needs ofprofessional occupations. This practical ori-entation has been one of the hallmarks ofthe Fachhochschulen since their founding.

■ In addition to instruction, the tasks ofthe Fachhochschulen include appliedresearch and development. They are pro-moted by a special programme for researchand development at Fachhochschulen fromthe Federal Ministry for Education andResearch. The programme “AppliedResearch and Development atFachhochschulen” (aFuE) is designed toimprove the capability of third-party fund-ing, i.e. the successful attraction of fundingfrom third parties for applied research anddevelopment projects.

A number of federal states are also capa-ble of promoting applied research projectsat Fachhochschulen. These institutions ofhigher learning are also entitled to applyfor all other support programmes from theFederal Ministry for Education andResearch (BMBF).

The Fachhochschulen do not have a stan-dardised profile. They vary greatly in regardto number of students and the respectivedegree programmes offered. This is attrib-utable to the different regional back-grounds of the individual Fachhochschulenand the respective areas from which stu-dents come. The Fachhochschulen areespecially attentive to the needs of theregional economy.

The Fachhochschule have expanded theirrange of offerings since the early 1980s.Special emphasis has now been placed onactivities in the field of technology andknowledge transfer. This commitment makesthe Fachhochschulen all the more importantfor regional economies. Thanks to theiractive pursuit of applied research and devel-

■ applied research and development.

3. Number of Students

Approximately 403,700 students wereenlisted in Fachhochschulen (excludingadministration Fachhochschulen) in thewinter semester of 1998/99.

A total of 36 % of every age group mean-while have a qualification for higher educa-tion; 25 to 29 % pursue this opportunity.For the Fachhochschulen, this means thatthe number of available study places is farlower than the number of applicants. Thenumber of first-year students at Fachhoch-schulen (excluding administration Fachhoch-schulen) is approximately 27 %, while some22 % of all German students enrolled inhigher education institutions attend Fach-hochschulen. In concrete figures this trans-lates into a ratio of some 210,000 study

opment, professors are far morelikely to keep their classroominstruction up to date with cur-rent knowledge standards.

The Fachhochschulen rapidly becamecommitted to cooperation in the sphere ofhigher education, on a European as well asan international level. They were able toachieve a marked internationalisation ofthe range of courses offered throughexpansion and intensification of their inter-national ties.

In summary, the educational mission andprofile of the Fachhochschulen in theGerman system of higher education can becharacterised by the following features:

■ a close link between science and prac-tice in classroom instruction and studies;

■ efficient organisation of studies andexaminations;

■ briefer periods of study;

places for 403,700 students and 74,000first-year students in the 1998 academicyear. Openings for personnel, universityteachers and other staff have not kept pacewith this development.

4. Fachhochschulen Staff

In 1998 the Fachhochschulen in Germanyhad 14,500 job positions for academic per-sonnel and 13,500 job positions for non-academic personnel.

The personnel structure at Fachhochschu-len differs from that seen in other types ofinstitutions for higher education. Teachingwork at Fachhochschulen is, with fewexceptions, carried out by professors; theirwork is supported and augmented by anumber of additional assistant professors(some of which have a limited work contract).

Professors at Fachhochschulen mustshow evidence of a specific qualificationprofile when appointed.The list of requirements includes a universitydegree in connection with proof of specialaptitude for scientific work, usually in theform of a doctoral degree, or special artisticaptitude. Also required are an ability toteach and at least five years of practicaloccupational experience, at least three ofthose years spent outside the realm of high-er education. These special job specifica-tions for professors, stipulated by theFramework Act for Higher Education andimplemented in the laws of the states per-taining to institutions of higher education,take into account the special teachingneeds at Fachhochschulen. It is precisely

the professional experience required of pro-fessors, in close conjunction with theirexpert qualifications, that is intended toensure Fachhochschulen are able to fulfiltheir educational aims. Fachhochschulen insome of the federal states employ researchassociates (wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter).

Professors at Fachhochschulen are cur-rently required to spend 16 to 18 hours perweek each semester teaching. This numbercan be reduced for professors who areactive in research.

In some of the federal states, it is alsopossible for Fachhochschulen professors totake a six-month sabbatical from teachingand research activies at regular intervals(usually every four years) in order to main-tain up-to-date knowledge of the practicalaspects of their field.

general education system, in conjunctionwith a completed apprenticeship or practi-cal internship.

An alternative qualification for admissionto a Fachhochschule is the general highereducation entrance qualification (allgemeineHochschulreife or Abitur). Before beingaccepted at a Fachhochschule, applicantswith an Abitur must usually – depending onthe requirements of the individual course ofstudy – complete practical training or apractical internship. The percentage of first-year students with an Abitur at Fachhoch-schulen has increased significantly since themid-1970s. It is now at over 50 % (andsteadily rising), whereby most of those stu-dents with an Abitur have also attainedvocational training. The share of first-semester students with an Abitur at Fach-hochschulen was still below 20 % in 1975.In addition, nearly all of the federal statesoffer the possibility to be admitted to aFachhochschule based on professionalqualifications. Additional facilities foracquiring Fachhochschulreife are availablefor those who work. In the majority of feder-al states there are currently special regula-tions in effect for admitting especially tal-ented applicants who are already working,even if they do not have the prerequisites forattending a Fachhochschule. The Ministry ofEducation, Ministry of Science, or educationand science senate administration of thefederal states can provide information onthis topic (see appendix for addresses).

II. Teaching and Study

1. Admission Requirements

Fachhochschulreife (the entrance qualifi-cation for attending a Fachhochschule), or adegree officially recognised as being equiv-alent to Fachhochschulreife, are prerequi-sites for enrollment in a Fachhochschule.Those with a general higher educationentrance qualification also meet admissionrequirements. Fachhochschulreife can beattained in different ways – according tothe respective laws of the federal states. Itis usually obtained in conjunction with thedegree from a Fachoberschule (specialisedupper secondary school), requiring twelveyears of schooling.

Graduation from a Realschule (intermedi-ate school) or an educational degree offi-cially recognised as its equivalent is a pre-requisite for admission to the Fachoberschu-le. There are two kinds of Fachoberschulen:one-year programmes for applicants whohave already completed vocational trainingand two-year programmes for applicantswho have not. In addition to the generalcurriculum, the Fachoberschulen focus onvocation-oriented training, e.g. for econom-ic and technical subjects, and are alsooffered as part-time programmes in somefederal states.

Fachhochschulreife can also be attainedin nearly all federal states upon graduationfrom class 12 of a school belonging to the

Page 14: Fachhochschulen in Germany

14

The same admission requirements apply tointernational applicants to Fachhochschulen,i.e., they are qualified for admission if theyhave attained Fachhochschulreife in theFederal Republic of Germany or if they havean equivalent foreign degree and can pro-vide evidence of sufficient knowledge ofGerman. If their previous level of educationis not recognised as being at least equiva-lent to Fachhochschulreife, the applicantsmust take an assessment examination,which serves primarily to test knowledge oftheir chosen subject. This examination is usu-ally taken after two semesters of preparationspent attending a preparatory course(Studienkolleg). If the applicant holds aGerman-language diploma (Sprachdiplom,level II), he or she is exempt from theGerman-language examination. The foreignstudent offices (akademische Auslandsämter)and admission offices (Studentensekreta-riate) of the individual Fachhochschulen can

provide information on additional detailsand application and admission requirements(see addresses in appendix).

2. Application andAdmission Procedures

Application for studying at a Fachhoch-schule should usually be submitted to therespective institution. The study places for anumber of degree programmes at Fachhoch-schulen in North-Rhine Westphalia are allot-ted by the Central Office for the Granting ofStudy Places (Zentralstelle für die Vergabevon Studienplätzen - ZVS). The placementprocedures used by the institutions of highereducation vary. In the case of admissionrestrictions, which are now in effect formany subjects, the study places are allottedon a basis similar to the so-called generalselection procedure used by the ZVS in con-junction with admission restrictions. Additionalinformation on application and admissionprocedures is available from the ZVS andthe Fachhochschulen (addresses in appendix).

Theory and practice go hand in hand

Page 15: Fachhochschulen in Germany

Stage I studies (Grundstudium) rangebetween two and four semesters, followed byan intermediate examination. Examinationsat Fachhochschulen usually take place duringthe regular course of studies. In the stage IIof studies (Hauptstudium), students can nor-mally choose between various areas of spe-cialisation and optional required subjects.

The courses at Fachhochschulen areorganised in the form of lectures, seminars,practical courses and practical training. Thepreferred form of classes is small groups of15 to 30 participants each. This ensures thatdirect personal contact between teachersand students is encouraged and maintained.

4. Degree Programmes

The degree programmes offered at Fach-hochschulen, established in the majority ofGerman federal states, are based on the“Agreement of the Conference of Ministersof Education and Cultural Affairs of theFederal States concerning branches of studyand Diplom degrees at Fachhochschulen”1 of14 November 1980, in the version from 26January 1996. Particular emphasis is placedon the engineering sciences. The rangeextends from classical degree programmesin engineering, such as civil engineering,electrical engineering and mechanical engi-neering – with its total of 18 subject areas– over economics and computer science allthe way to social affairs and design (seeOverview 1, page 16)2. The actual range ofsubjects offered by the Fachhochschulen ismore extensive and varied than can be pre-sented in this overview.

3. The Basic Structure ofStudies

The institutions which preceded theFachhochschulen, a number of which couldlook back on a long and successful tradi-tion, influenced the range of subjects andthe basic structure of teaching and devel-opment at Fachhochschulen. This is espe-cially evident in the seminar style of teach-ing, the streamlined and efficient organisa-tion of the studies, briefer periods of studyand the emphasis placed on practical appli-cation. In contrast to the universities, theFachhochschulen offer an educational stylethat is more interdisciplinary and focusesmore closely on problem solving. The theo-retical-analytical style of education orient-ed to the academic aspects of the respec-tive discipline takes second place to thecommunication of a broad knowledge ofthe contents and work methods relevant inpractical occupational work.

Since the amendments made to theFramework Act for Higher Education (HRG),the standard period of study, including timespent acquiring practical experience andpreparing for and taking examinations, iseight semesters for all subjects. The actuallength of time spent studying at Fachhoch-schulen averages out to be 4.7 years (1996),according to subject-related semesters.

Studies at Fachhochschulen are dividedinto semesters of up to 19 weeks a piece;the non-lecture period totals three to fourmonths each year and is thus shorter thanthat found in other types of higher educationinstitutions.

According to the ruling handed down bythe European Court of Justice on 21 January1992, an integrated practical semester underthe supervision of an institution of higher edu-cation is regarded as time spent in the highereducation system and thus also fulfils all cri-teria stipulated by the EU directive for therecognition of diploma from institutions ofhigher education. A practical semester at theend of studies, however, is not recognized asa part of those studies by any EU country.

6. The Diplom Degree froma Fachhochschule

The procedure applicable to final examina-tions at Fachhochschulen varies among theindividual federal states. It usually consistsof a Diplom thesis, which the student isgiven three months to write, as well as writ-ten and oral examinations. The Diplom thesisusually focuses on a practical problem in thestudent’s chosen field; in some degree pro-grammes, especially the engineering sciences,the share of Diplom theses written in coop-eration with industry is 60 to 70 %.

After successful completion of final exam-inations, the Fachhochschulen award theDiplom degree with the additional denota-tion “FH”. The subject areas listed inOverview 1 are paired with the Diplomdegrees listed in Overview 2 (see p. 18)according to the “Agreement of the Con-ference of Ministers of Education and CulturalAffairs of the Federal States concerningbranches of study and Diplom degrees atFachhochschulen” from 14 November 1980 inthe version from 26 January 1996.3

5. Practical Semesters

Practical semesters are in planning or havealready been introduced at Fachhochschulenin nearly all of the federal states. Integratedinto the studies, students spend these prac-tical semesters working in companies,administrative offices, etc. in their chosenvocational field or writing their Diplom the-ses in connection with this work. Two practi-cal semesters are required at the Fachhoch-

schulen in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg;one of the practical semesters can bewaived for students who already possess anadequate professional education or haveperformed a comparable occupation activityfor a corresponding length of time. Until now,one practical semester has been planned orintroduced in the majority of degree pro-grammes at Fachhochschulen in the other fed-eral states. If applicable, it is also possible towrite the Diplom thesis during this semester.

3 Additional degrees are granted in some states due to the particular state law in effect

7. Bachelor’s and Master’sDegrees

While the usefulness and extent towhich the German Diplom is known is limit-ed, especially in countries outside ofEurope, the Anglo-Saxon graduate model(Bachelor’s, Master’s) is generally accepted.The amendments to the Framework Act forHigher Education (HRG) in 1998 give Germaninstitutions of higher education the opportu-nity to award a Bachelor’s degree for thecompletion of first-level higher education

studies and a Master’s degree for completionof post-graduate degree programmes. This isequally applicable to universities, Fachhoch-schulen and other institutions of higher edu-cation. The final degrees may also be refer-red to as “Bakkalaureus” and “Magister”.The structural standards were adopted withthe resolution from the Standing Conferenceof Ministers of Education and CulturalAffairs (KMK) of 5 March 19994.

The standard period of study in theBachelor’s degree programmes is at leastthree and at most four years, and at leastone year and at most two for Master’sdegree programmes. The respective minimumstandard period of study is intended toensure quality assurance.

Bachelor’s and Master’s degree pro-grammes that have been tailored to matchone another and are completed in succes-sion should not, however, exceed a standardperiod of study of five years. The Fachhoch-schulen have meanwhile establishednumerous degree programmes offering pri-marily Master’s degrees as well asBachelor’s degrees.

8. Opportunities for Grad-uates of Fachhochschulento obtain Doctoral Degrees

Fachhochschulen do not have an institu-tional right to confer doctoral degrees. Thisright is one of the core elements of the uni-versities’ autonomy. Until now, doctoraldegree regulations from universities stipu-lated a university degree as prerequisitefor being admitted to a doctoral pro-gramme. Especially well qualified gradu-ates of Fachhochschulen – in keeping witha resolution from the Standing Conferenceof Ministers of Education and CulturalAffairs (KMK) of 3/4 December 1992, in theversion from 16 December 1994 – may beable to enroll in a doctoral degree pro-gramme without first having to spend addi-tional time attaining a Diplom degree froma university. According to a KMK surveyfrom March 1998, the higher education

acts of all federal states are now open tothis possibility. Some of them include regu-lations which permit professors from Fach-hochschulen to supervise doctoral work andtake part in the examination.

The amendments to the Framework Actfor Higher Education (HRG) also create newpossibilities for switching between Fach-hochschulen and universities. Fachhoch-schulen are also entitled to offer Master’sdegree programmes, and students withBachelor’s degrees fundamentally have theopportunity to switch into Master’s degreeprogrammes at universities. On principle,this makes it possible for the student toafterwards acquire a doctorate.

9. The Job Market forGraduates ofFachhochschulen

Fachhochschulen currently educate near-ly all social workers/social educators andsome two-thirds of all engineers, as wellas half of all business administrators andcomputer scientists. This makes evidentthe special position they hold within thehigher education and employment systems.

The technical and scientific areas of spe-cialisation in the range of courses offeredby the Fachhochschule are more stronglyoriented to occupations in private sectorcompanies.

The special qualifications which gradu-ates of Fachhochschulen offer correspondto the economy’s need for specialists withhigher education degrees who have receivedpractice-oriented education and thus bring

with them good skills for mastering theever more complex tasks demanded in theindustrial and service society.

In keeping with this trend, the economyhas in the past repeatedly advocated amore differentiated system of higher educa-tion with a strong Fachhochschulen sector.The demand for employees with a degreefrom a Fachhochschule has, according to thetrade associates, continued to remain strong.Many companies make no distinction betweendegrees from a Fachhochschule or a univer-sity when hiring. Top and highest level exec-utive positions are open to graduates ofFachhochschulen. The lowest level of unem-ployment for all educational groups isfound among graduates of Fachhochschulen.

In trade and industry, the startingsalaries of Fachhochschulen and universitygraduates have become largely compatible.

Civil service positions are still an excep-tion. The various types of degrees frominstitutions of higher education are stillclosely linked with certain career groups inthis field. The introduction of Bachelor’sand Master’s degrees at institutions of high-er education has made a fundamental re-assessment of the degrees offered by uni-versities and Fachhochschulen in regard tothe access they provide to senior civil ser-vice positions all the more necessary.

III. Applied Research andDevelopment

The BMBF programme for Applied Researchand Development at Fachhochschulen(aFuE) began in 1992 and was instrumentalin encouraging practice-oriented researchand development work at Fachhochschulen.

After getting off to a modest financialstart, the funding for this programme hasbeen steadily expanded. The last increasecame in 1999, when funds were increased toDM 14.5 million from the DM 11 million seenin the previous year.

A total of some 3,800 applications weresubmitted to BMBF during the eight subsidyrounds between 1992 and 1999, approxi-mately 500 of these were subsidised with aproject sum of more than DM 75 million.

These figures prove that the commitmentof the Fachhochschulen to research hasbeen stimulated far beyond the financiallimits of the programme itself. and extendsto the entire range of subjects offered.

An increasing number of cooperationsand pledges of third-party funding from thebusiness community are evidence that theFachhochschulen are an accepted researchand development partner of trade andindustry, especially among small and mid-sized companies.

Always in view – a partner in the (regional) business community

Austria

In May 1993, the Austrian NationalCouncil adopted the “Federal Law onDegree Programmes at Fachhochschulen”,intended to provide a broader basis for hig-her education in Austria. Applications fordegree programmes at the Fachhochschu-len are submitted by legal entities underprivate or public law. Following approvalfrom the Fachhochschulen Council, theselegal entities then implement the program-mes. The Fachhochschulen Council is anindependent body of 16 experts – similar tothe German Science Council. The membersof the Fachhochschulen Council are appoin-ted for a three-year term of office by theAustrian Federal Minister of Science andTransport after consultation with theAustrian Federal Minister of Education andCultural Affairs. A total of 40 Fachhoch-schulen degree programmes have beenapproved in Austria since 1994, e.g. in thefields of tourism, economics, technology,information technology and multimedia.These 40 degree programmes were atten-ded by 6,500 young people in Austria duringthe1997/98 academic year. The develop-ment plan laid down by the Austrianfederal government calls for 10,000 studyplaces in the year 2000, while the numberof degree programmes could rise to 50 bythat time.

IV. International Aspects

1. Developments in Europe

Within Europe, Fachhochschulen andsimilar institutions can be found primarilyin the Netherlands and in Flanders, inAustria and in Switzerland. Reform in thehigher education systems of other Centraland Eastern European countries has led toinstitutions similar to Fachhochschulen,e.g. in Hungary and Poland.

Netherlands

The non-university-sector in the Nether-lands was newly organised in the mid-1980s with the founding of some 80 “Hoge-scholen”. These institutions of higher edu-cation offer a broad range of subjects withemphasis on teacher education, social edu-cation, business administration, enginee-ring sciences and the artistic fields. Theyalso offer programmes in journalism ormedical assistant professions. Two-thirdsof all Dutch students are enrolled at the“Hogescholen”, 26% of them as part-timestudents.

The “Hogescholen” are in the process ofbecoming an independent part of the highereducation sector with clear-cut differencesto the universities. Qualified graduates havethe opportunity to transfer directly into post-graduate degree programmes at universitiesand thus have the right to attain doctoraldegrees.

Page 23: Fachhochschulen in Germany

Switzerland

Switzerland made the decision to establishFachhochschulen in 1995, conferring on themthe task of education as well as appliedresearch and development. In Switzerland,as in Germany, it is possible to obtain adoctoral degree through education at aFachhochschule. In contrast to Germany,Switzerland has no admission restrictionsto its civil service. No distinction is madebetween applicants from Fachhochschulenand those from universities. Switzerland

introduced the first Fachhochschulendegree programmes in the fields of tech-nology, economics and design in 1997.Educational programmes in health care,social affairs, art and music are in theplanning. The reforms are scheduled to becompleted by 2003. Switzerland foreseesthe establishment of seven to ten Fachhoch-schulen offering degrees recognised in all ofEurope.

Education at Fachhochschulen is (nearly) boundless

23

Poland

On 9 May 1997, the Parliment of Polandpassed a law to provide the legal backdropfor establishing public Fachhochschulen.Similar to the situation in Germany, theFachhochschulen are different, independentinstitutions within the higher educationsystem. The Polish Fachhochschulen offerinterdisciplinary subject areas oriented tothe needs of the local employment market.In principle, Fachhochschulen degree pro-grammes are offered on a compulsoryattendance basis. The institutions of highereducation can, however, also organisedistance or evening studies, as well aspost-graduate study or continuing educati-on courses. The course of study at a PolishFachhochschule takes six semesters andincludes a 15-week period of practical trai-ning. Courses of study with compulsoryattendance require 2,200 lecture hours.Distance and evening studies require1,500. The first Fachhochschulen in Polandopened their doors to students in 1998.

2. Recognition of FHDegrees throughout theentire EU

The basis for international recognition ofthe Diplom degrees awarded by GermanFachhochschulen are the directives issuedby the European Community. The architectdirective was issued in 1985, followed in1989 by the “General Directive on theRecognition of Degrees from Institutions ofHigher Education for Admission to Professions”.It is applicable to all professions not sub-ject to individual directives and dispenses

Page 24: Fachhochschulen in Germany

24

with all previous standardisation of degreeprogrammes in EU member states. Therecognition of “Diplom degrees, test certifi-cates or other certificates of qualification”attained after a minimum three-year educa-tional programme at an institution of highereducation and intended for entry into a pro-fession or occupational training within theEU is carried out according to the stipula-tions of this general regulation.

The recognition directive is based on themember states’ mutual trust in the educa-tional programmes of the other memberstates. The basic principle behind the direc-tive is that a member of a profession who hasacquired the necessary education for entryinto the profession in his or her native countryor country of origin is also capable of satis-factorily practising this profession in other EUmember states. It applies only to the so-called “regulated” professions, i.e. thosewhich require a diploma for entry into theprofession or the exercising of the profes-sion. The directive is not effective in fields inwhich such regulation does not exist.

Due to the directive’s extensive area ofapplication, it provides certain “instrumentsof adaptation” for balancing out significantdifferences in the educational programmes ofthe member states. The member states canuse these instruments, but are not required to.

The potential additional requirements aredetailed in the following:

■ When the duration of the immigrant’sdocumented education is at least one yearless than the required length of the educa-tional programme in the host country, the

host country may require occupational expe-rience from the immigrant as well as adiploma. This occupation experience – witha maximum of four years – may not exceedtwice the length of the lacking educationalperiod. The normal exercising of the occupa-tion, under conditions typical for entry-levelworkers in the profession, is fully sufficientfor meeting this requirement.

■ When the immigrant’s education encom-passes elements that vary greatly from thecontent of the education required in the hostcountry, or the occupational profile in thecountry of origin and the host country aresignificantly different, the host country mayrequire a maximum three-year adaptationcourse from the immigrant or require him orher to take an aptitude test. Such “signifi-cant differences” exist only when, after addi-tional clarification, the immigrant’s educationis found to be lacking in subject areas with-out which it would be impossible to satisfac-torily exercise the profession in the hostcountry. If this is the case, the applicant maydecide if he or she prefers the adaptationcourse or the test. The host country maystipulate which of the two is required forlegal occupations. A member state mayapply this option to other occupations onlywithin the framework of a Community proce-dure, i.e. with the approval of the EuropeanCommission.

The adaptation mechanisms are the samefor all member states and all education pro-grammes from institutions of higher learn-ing. The directive does not contain specialprovisions for degrees from specific typesof higher education institutions, e.g.Diplom degrees from German

Page 25: Fachhochschulen in Germany

25

have rapidly adjusted to students’ needs aswell as reacted to the requirements of theemployment market. The Fachhochschulenwere accepted as a member of the GermanAcademic Exchange Service (DAAD) in 1987as a result of their intensive and successfulinternational ties.

Since 1998, the Fachhochschulen havereferred to themselves internationally as“universities of applied sciences” – afterthe appropriate rulings from the StandingConference of Ministers of Education andCultural Affairs (KMK) and the Associationof Universities and other Higher EducationInstitutions (HRK) – and thus make it easi-er for English-speaking partner countries toadequately classify the Fachhochschule asan institution.

The integration of the Fachhochschulenin the activities of the DAAD, both withinthe framework of the scholarship programmesas well as on an institutional basis, wassuccessfully strengthened as part of theUniversity Special Programme III (HSP III).The DAAD presented the results of a studyon the “Position of the Fachhochschulen inthe DAAD Grant Offer” in April 1998. Among

Fachhochschulen. The host country mustin all cases determine whether an immi-grant’s degree can be recognised withoutadditional requirements or if one of thedesignated adaptation mechanisms mustfirst be applied by means of comparing theimmigrant’s education with the educationnecessary for the corresponding profession.

3. Foreign Ties at theFachhochschulen

The Fachhochschulen maintain diverse bi-and multi-national cooperation and exchangerelationships with institutions of higher edu-cation in other countries. These relationshipshave revealed that it is precisely the Fach-hochschulen, with their practice-orienteddegree programmes and emphasis on appliedresearch and development, that are of spe-cial interest for students and institutions ofhigher education from foreign countries inthe East and West. There are a total of some3,450 cooperations between Fachhochschulenand foreign partner institutions of highereducation in 92 countries5.

Over the course of the past few years,the underlying conditions for foreign ties atthe Fachhochschulen have improved signifi-cantly. In this process the Fachhochschulen

26

other things, this study reveals that studentsat Fachhochschulen are proportionally under-represented in terms of scholarships, but thatthe chances of being granted a DAAD schol-arship are just as high for applicants fromFachhochschulen as they are for universityapplicants. Several programmes in the DAADscholarship offer are of special interest toGerman students at Fachhochschulen. Theseinclude the programme “Short-term Study Visitsfor Finishing Work”, stipends for travellingcosts, and scholarships for summer coursesand special courses. Starting in the 2000/2001 academic year, the DAAD will also offersubsidising of combined study and practiceprojects in the form of annual scholarshipprogramme for students at Fachhochschulen.This also includes semester stays at a foreigninstitution of higher education. European Unionsupport programmes play a significant rolein terms of aiding student mobility (e.g.SOKRATES) and increasingly as a means ofpromoting cross-border cooperation in thefields of applied research, transfer of technol-ogy and knowledge, and continuing education(LEONARDO).

The Fachhochschulen furthermore take partin the Fulbright Commission scholarship pro-gramme. The programme “Practice SemesterAbroad” from the Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft(CDG) is oriented specifically to Fachhoch-schulen students in technical and economicdegree programmes.

4. International DegreeProgrammes

Approximately one-third of GermanFachhochschulen offer international degreeprogrammes in which some portion of the

studies are to be spent at an institution ofhigher education or company in a foreigncountry. It is becoming increasingly possi-ble to attain degrees from both participat-ing institutions of higher education in thesedegree programmes. There are also a num-ber of international degree programmesavailable at Fachhochschulen.

The demonstration programme “Interna-tional Degree Programmes”, initiated byBMBF, promotes the establishment of inter-national degree programmes. It is implemen-ted by DAAD and the HRK. This programmehelps to create new first-level higher edu-cation studies and post-graduate degreeprogrammes at German institutions of high-er education which offer efficient specialis-ed qualification, multiple languages, experi-ence abroad and special supervision, in par-ticular for students from abroad. These areBachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes,especially in the fields of economics, naturaland engineering sciences as well as culturaland social sciences.

A total of 20 international model degreecourses from the BMBF model programmeare currently being tested at German insti-tutions of higher education, seven of theseat Fachhochschulen. An additional twelvemodel degree courses (five of these at Fach-hochschulen) are to be initiated in the 1999/2000 winter semester. The programme hasbeen exceptionally well received by Germanand foreign students and is initially sched-uled to run until 2003. BMBF is providingDM 65 million in funding for this programme.Further information can be requested fromthe institutions of higher education andfrom DAAD (see addresses in appendix).

■ The established task of the Fachhoch-schulen is to further develop their range ofdegree programmes and adapt to changingrequirements. This applies to the contents,the presentation and the organisation ofteaching and studies.

The federal government faces the specialchallenge of internationalising content.The programme “Internationally OrientedDegree Programmes” is helping to do justthat. The goal is to improve the individualsupport provided to Fachhochschulen stu-dents by the DAAD and CDG. In addition,the preconditions for international coopera-tions must be further improved. The expan-sion of foreign student offices begun underthe University Special Programme III (HSPIII) must be continued.

■ In terms of the implementation of studies,general measures for improving teachingand instruction have been under discussionfor years now. Goals here include the in-creased use of media, the augmentation ofconventional teaching through distancestudies, PC and Internet. The new concep-tion of virtual degree programmes alsoplays a role here. Corresponding projectsare already being supported. The project“Virtual Fachhochschule,” a network of sev-eral (northern) German Fachhochschulenunder the leadership of the FachhochschuleLübeck is worthy of particular note. This pro-ject began in 1998.

V. Perspectives

The German system of higher educationis unique in terms of the structure, breadthand differentiation of its subject areas, whichshould prove to be a location advantagewithin the European economic region. TheFachhochschulen play an important role inthis system of higher education.

There are still a number of problems tobe solved, however:

■ The Fachhochschulen currently take in lessthan 30 % of first-year students. The mutualgoal of the federal government and the statesis to increase this figure to 40% over the longterm. Of prime importance in accomplishing thisgoal is the expansion of the Fachhochschulen,which must be reflected in the registrations ofthe states in accordance with the Law forPromotion of Construction of Higher EducationInstitutions (HBFG). This expansion goal mustbe linked with a broadening of the range of thesubjects offered to include degree programmeswhich hold great promise for the future.

■ The 40%-goal cannot be reached withthe creation of additional capacity alone.Underlying financial conditions will likelyhinder a corresponding spatial expansion ofthe Fachhochschulen sector in the future aswell. Nor does the current level of demandpermit expansion of this dimension. For thisreason, degree programmes that were pre-viously reserved for universities should alsobe offered at Fachhochschulen.

Page 28: Fachhochschulen in Germany

28

■ The Framework Act for Higher Education(HRG) created the legal basis for Fachhoch-schulen to also be able to offer Bachelor’sand Master’s degree programmes. TheFachhochschulen must be enabled to estab-lish courses which correspond to occupa-tional profiles and can hold their own withcompeting degree programmes from univer-sities. The establishment of an accredita-tion system plays an important role here,both in terms of how well graduates arereceived on the employment market aswell as the transition between the differ-ent types of institutions of higher educa-tion. This even includes making it easierfor graduates of Fachhochschulen to enrollin doctoral programmes.

■ The BMBF programme “Applied Researchand Development at Fachhochschulen”(aFuE), which has been running since 1992,has been one of the instrumental projects insetting the course. Its structural goal is toimprove the ability of the capability of theFachhochschulen to acquire third-partyfunding. The Fachhochschulen are increas-ingly implementing important, practice-ori-ented aFuE projects. They still have diffi-culties, however, in attracting sufficientproject funding. The availability of supportfor applied research and development atFachhochschulen must be further improved.New specialist programmes must also beestablished that take into account thepractical relevance and the rapid imple-mentation of application-oriented projectsat Fachhochschulen.

■ In principle, Fachhochschulen graduateshave very good chances in the employmentsystem but still encounter restrictions and

limitations in civil service. The foremostexample is access to senior civil servicepositions. The German FH Diplom is oftenundervalued on the international employ-

ment market as well, however. The intro-duction of the term “university of appliedsciences” as the international label for theFachhochschule as an institution and theestablishment of Bachelor’s and Master’sdegrees have created an important basisfor continuing improved acceptance.Wherever unjust entry restrictions are inforce, however, the goal is to make validthe political principle of institutions ofhigher education: “different yet equivalent”.

Increasing personnel and funding forhigher education cannot be effective, norcould responsibility be taken for such amove, without a far-reaching reform ofhigher education structures.

* with entrance qualification for studies at Fachhochschulen (Fachhochschulreife)1 1997 preliminary actual. 2 1997 actual data.3 The information for the forecast of first-year students is based on a 75% transition rate from secondary schools to institu-

tions of higher education (average variant). The information on first-year students refers to Model B, which assumes that,following appropriate expansion and reorientation measures, 65% of first-year students will attend universities and 35%will attend Fachhochschulen in the year 2000 and onward, and in the year 2010 and onward 60% will attend universitiesand 40% Fachhochschulen.

4 Both the information on students and successfully passed examinations at institutions of higher education is based on the75% transition rate variant of Model B. According to status quo calculation, the current length of time spent studying atuniversities (approx. 14 semesters) and at Fachhochschulen (approx. 9.7 semesters) will remain constant until 2015.
