Students are still interested in going to university

A study sponsored out by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) has revelead that the interest in going on to study at university after the Abitur (A-Levels) remains constant, with 71% wanting to go on to tertiary level education.

Last year this figure was slightly less at 70%. The study, which was carried out by the University Information Systems (HIS), further reveals that students with an immigrant background are more interested in going on to university than their German counterparts. There is little difference in the interest levels between the new and the old states, but there are marked individual differences; for example, Sachsen-Anhalt has 84 %, whilst Thuringia comes last with 59%. The top courses are economics and management-related subjects, as well as teaching training - followed by medicine and engineering.
