Fachhochschulen in Germany

Foreword Fachhochschulen (universities of applied sciences) occupy an established position in the modern German university system. Since their establishment, they have received praise from both the political and public arena for the practical orientation that has become their trademark. Within the German system, the educational mission and profile of the Fachhochschulen are especially adapted to the requirements and needs of professional life. An increasing number of young people interested in receiving higher education are choosing this type of university. The Fachhochschulen are gaining in popularity. This is why the federal government and the federal states – supported by recommendations from the Science Council – decided to gradually increase 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 the Fachhochschulen are applied research and development, the quality and quantity of which have risen perceptibly since the mid-1980s. Supported by programmes from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, willingness and qualifications 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 other European countries. European degree programmes in which universities from various EU member countries work together were first developed at Fachhochschulen. Young people need forms of education which consistently and purposefully both provide professional qualifications and take into account the types of qualifications needed by the economy. The Fachhochschulen have made great progress toward this goal. This brochure provides a comprehensive overview of the Fachhochschulen and their wide range of offers in Germany.

I. The Fachhochschulen in the German System of Higher Education 1. Origin and Development The system of higher education in the Federal Republic of Germany currently includes some 340 institutes of higher education. These can be divided into the following types: ■ ■ ■ ■

Universities Fachhochschulen Teacher training colleges Kunsthochschulen

The largest groups are the Fachhochschulen and the universities. The Fachhochschulen – of which there are 152 in Germany, 25 of that number in eastern Germany (status: April 1999) – are the newest type of institution in the German system of higher education.

Fachhochschulen, issued by the minister presidents of the federal states on 5 July 1968. A second important date is 31 October of the same year. The signing of the “Agreement between the Federal States and the Federal Republic on Standardisation in the Area of Fachhochschulen” established the Fachhochschulen as a new type of institution of higher education with an individual mission and profile. The establishment of the Fachhochschulen by the states was a reaction to the increasing demands of professional life – caused by scientific and technical advances – and the corresponding new qualitative requirements placed on education.

This number also encompasses non-state Fachhochschulen, including those run by churches. These institutions of higher education are state-accredited. In addition, there are some 30 administration Fachhochschulen, which can be attended only by students who are civil service employees.

The Fachhochschulen in western Germany, most of which were established between 1969 and 1971, grew from former engineering schools, academies and higher-level Fachschulen for design, for social work or for economy. The process of establishing Fachhochschulen in the new German states has been taking place since 1991. The new states have from the very start been able to build on the experience and developments gleaned from the then 20-year history of Fachhochschulen in the old federal states of western Germany.

The Fachhochschule, as a type of institution of higher education, was founded with a policy statement for the establishment of

Engineering studies oriented to these new requirements, for example, needed to provide considerably greater methodological

and scientific depth than existing educational facilities were able to offer. The growing demand for education, especially the increasing number of those interested in receiving higher education offering direct professional qualifications, was also an important factor.

2. Mission and Profile Just like all types of institutions of higher learning, the Fachschulen have the following mission: ■ Supporting the maintenance and develop-

ment of sciences and the arts through research, instruction, studies and continuing education. ■ Preparing students for occupations which

require the application of scientific findings and methods or artistic design abilities. ■ Promoting the international cooperation,

especially on a European level, in the higher educational system, as well as exchanges between German institutions of higher learning and those in other countries. ■ Encouraging the transfer of knowledge

and technology. Fachhochschulen also have their own special educational mission within the German system of higher education: ■ Studies at Fachhochschulen are strongly

oriented to the requirements and needs of professional occupations. This practical orientation has been one of the hallmarks of the Fachhochschulen since their founding.

10

■ In addition to instruction, the tasks of

the Fachhochschulen include applied research and development. They are promoted by a special programme for research and development at Fachhochschulen from the Federal Ministry for Education and Research. The programme “Applied Research and Development at Fachhochschulen” (aFuE) is designed to improve the capability of third-party funding, i.e. the successful attraction of funding from third parties for applied research and development projects. A number of federal states are also capable of promoting applied research projects at Fachhochschulen. These institutions of higher learning are also entitled to apply for all other support programmes from the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). The Fachhochschulen do not have a standardised profile. They vary greatly in regard to number of students and the respective degree programmes offered. This is attributable to the different regional backgrounds of the individual Fachhochschulen and the respective areas from which students come. The Fachhochschulen are especially attentive to the needs of the regional economy. The Fachhochschule have expanded their range of offerings since the early 1980s. Special emphasis has now been placed on activities in the field of technology and knowledge transfer. This commitment makes the Fachhochschulen all the more important for regional economies. Thanks to their active pursuit of applied research and devel-

The Fachhochschulen rapidly became committed to cooperation in the sphere of higher education, on a European as well as an international level. They were able to achieve a marked internationalisation of the range of courses offered through expansion and intensification of their international ties. In summary, the educational mission and profile of the Fachhochschulen in the German system of higher education can be characterised by the following features: ■ a close link between science and prac-

tice in classroom instruction and studies; ■ efficient organisation of studies and

examinations; ■ briefer periods of study;

3. Number of Students Approximately 403,700 students were enlisted in Fachhochschulen (excluding administration Fachhochschulen) in the winter semester of 1998/99. A total of 36 % of every age group meanwhile have a qualification for higher education; 25 to 29 % pursue this opportunity. For the Fachhochschulen, this means that the number of available study places is far lower than the number of applicants. The number of first-year students at Fachhochschulen (excluding administration Fachhochschulen) is approximately 27 %, while some 22 % of all German students enrolled in higher education institutions attend Fachhochschulen. In concrete figures this translates into a ratio of some 210,000 study

the professional experience required of professors, in close conjunction with their expert qualifications, that is intended to ensure Fachhochschulen are able to fulfil their educational aims. Fachhochschulen in some of the federal states employ research associates (wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter).

4. Fachhochschulen Staff In 1998 the Fachhochschulen in Germany had 14,500 job positions for academic personnel and 13,500 job positions for nonacademic personnel. The personnel structure at Fachhochschulen differs from that seen in other types of institutions for higher education. Teaching work at Fachhochschulen is, with few exceptions, carried out by professors; their work is supported and augmented by a number of additional assistant professors (some of which have a limited work contract). Professors at Fachhochschulen must show evidence of a specific qualification profile when appointed. The list of requirements includes a university degree in connection with proof of special aptitude for scientific work, usually in the form of a doctoral degree, or special artistic aptitude. Also required are an ability to teach and at least five years of practical occupational experience, at least three of those years spent outside the realm of higher education. These special job specifications for professors, stipulated by the Framework Act for Higher Education and implemented in the laws of the states pertaining to institutions of higher education, take into account the special teaching needs at Fachhochschulen. It is precisely

12

Professors at Fachhochschulen are currently required to spend 16 to 18 hours per week each semester teaching. This number can be reduced for professors who are active in research. In some of the federal states, it is also possible for Fachhochschulen professors to take a six-month sabbatical from teaching and research activies at regular intervals (usually every four years) in order to maintain up-to-date knowledge of the practical aspects of their field.

II. Teaching and Study

1. Admission Requirements Fachhochschulreife (the entrance qualification for attending a Fachhochschule), or a degree officially recognised as being equivalent to Fachhochschulreife, are prerequisites for enrollment in a Fachhochschule. Those with a general higher education entrance qualification also meet admission requirements. Fachhochschulreife can be attained in different ways – according to the respective laws of the federal states. It is usually obtained in conjunction with the degree from a Fachoberschule (specialised upper secondary school), requiring twelve years of schooling. Graduation from a Realschule (intermediate school) or an educational degree officially recognised as its equivalent is a prerequisite for admission to the Fachoberschule. There are two kinds of Fachoberschulen: one-year programmes for applicants who have already completed vocational training and two-year programmes for applicants who have not. In addition to the general curriculum, the Fachoberschulen focus on vocation-oriented training, e.g. for economic and technical subjects, and are also offered as part-time programmes in some federal states. Fachhochschulreife can also be attained in nearly all federal states upon graduation from class 12 of a school belonging to the

general education system, in conjunction with a completed apprenticeship or practical internship. An alternative qualification for admission to a Fachhochschule is the general higher education entrance qualification (allgemeine Hochschulreife or Abitur). Before being accepted at a Fachhochschule, applicants with an Abitur must usually – depending on the requirements of the individual course of study – complete practical training or a practical internship. The percentage of firstyear students with an Abitur at Fachhochschulen has increased significantly since the mid-1970s. It is now at over 50 % (and steadily rising), whereby most of those students with an Abitur have also attained vocational training. The share of firstsemester students with an Abitur at Fachhochschulen was still below 20 % in 1975. In addition, nearly all of the federal states offer the possibility to be admitted to a Fachhochschule based on professional qualifications. Additional facilities for acquiring Fachhochschulreife are available for those who work. In the majority of federal states there are currently special regulations in effect for admitting especially talented applicants who are already working, even if they do not have the prerequisites for attending a Fachhochschule. The Ministry of Education, Ministry of Science, or education and science senate administration of the federal states can provide information on this topic (see appendix for addresses).

Theory and practice go hand in hand

provide information on additional details and application and admission requirements (see addresses in appendix). The same admission requirements apply to international applicants to Fachhochschulen, i.e., they are qualified for admission if they have attained Fachhochschulreife in the Federal Republic of Germany or if they have an equivalent foreign degree and can provide evidence of sufficient knowledge of German. If their previous level of education is not recognised as being at least equivalent to Fachhochschulreife, the applicants must take an assessment examination, which serves primarily to test knowledge of their chosen subject. This examination is usually taken after two semesters of preparation spent attending a preparatory course (Studienkolleg). If the applicant holds a German-language diploma (Sprachdiplom, level II), he or she is exempt from the German-language examination. The foreign student offices (akademische Auslandsämter) and admission offices (Studentensekretariate) of the individual Fachhochschulen can

14

2. Application and Admission Procedures Application for studying at a Fachhochschule should usually be submitted to the respective institution. The study places for a number of degree programmes at Fachhochschulen in North-Rhine Westphalia are allotted by the Central Office for the Granting of Study Places (Zentralstelle für die Vergabe von Studienplätzen - ZVS). The placement procedures used by the institutions of higher education vary. In the case of admission restrictions, which are now in effect for many subjects, the study places are allotted on a basis similar to the so-called general selection procedure used by the ZVS in conjunction with admission restrictions. Additional information on application and admission procedures is available from the ZVS and the Fachhochschulen (addresses in appendix).

3. The Basic Structure of Studies The institutions which preceded the Fachhochschulen, a number of which could look back on a long and successful tradition, influenced the range of subjects and the basic structure of teaching and development at Fachhochschulen. This is especially evident in the seminar style of teaching, the streamlined and efficient organisation of the studies, briefer periods of study and the emphasis placed on practical application. In contrast to the universities, the Fachhochschulen offer an educational style that is more interdisciplinary and focuses more closely on problem solving. The theoretical-analytical style of education oriented to the academic aspects of the respective discipline takes second place to the communication of a broad knowledge of the contents and work methods relevant in practical occupational work. Since the amendments made to the Framework Act for Higher Education (HRG), the standard period of study, including time spent acquiring practical experience and preparing for and taking examinations, is eight semesters for all subjects. The actual length of time spent studying at Fachhochschulen averages out to be 4.7 years (1996), according to subject-related semesters. Studies at Fachhochschulen are divided into semesters of up to 19 weeks a piece; the non-lecture period totals three to four months each year and is thus shorter than that found in other types of higher education institutions.

Stage I studies (Grundstudium) range between two and four semesters, followed by an intermediate examination. Examinations at Fachhochschulen usually take place during the regular course of studies. In the stage II of studies (Hauptstudium), students can normally choose between various areas of specialisation and optional required subjects. The courses at Fachhochschulen are organised in the form of lectures, seminars, practical courses and practical training. The preferred form of classes is small groups of 15 to 30 participants each. This ensures that direct personal contact between teachers and students is encouraged and maintained.

4. Degree Programmes The degree programmes offered at Fachhochschulen, established in the majority of German federal states, are based on the “Agreement of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Federal States concerning branches of study and Diplom degrees at Fachhochschulen”1 of 14 November 1980, in the version from 26 January 1996. Particular emphasis is placed on the engineering sciences. The range extends from classical degree programmes in engineering, such as civil engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering – with its total of 18 subject areas – over economics and computer science all the way to social affairs and design (see Overview 1, page 16) 2. The actual range of subjects offered by the Fachhochschulen is more extensive and varied than can be presented in this overview.

5. Practical Semesters Practical semesters are in planning or have already been introduced at Fachhochschulen in nearly all of the federal states. Integrated into the studies, students spend these practical semesters working in companies, administrative offices, etc. in their chosen vocational field or writing their Diplom theses in connection with this work. Two practical semesters are required at the Fachhoch-

According to the ruling handed down by the European Court of Justice on 21 January 1992, an integrated practical semester under the supervision of an institution of higher education is regarded as time spent in the higher education system and thus also fulfils all criteria stipulated by the EU directive for the recognition of diploma from institutions of higher education. A practical semester at the end of studies, however, is not recognized as a part of those studies by any EU country.

6. The Diplom Degree from a Fachhochschule The procedure applicable to final examinations at Fachhochschulen varies among the individual federal states. It usually consists of a Diplom thesis, which the student is given three months to write, as well as written and oral examinations. The Diplom thesis usually focuses on a practical problem in the student’s chosen field; in some degree programmes, especially the engineering sciences, the share of Diplom theses written in cooperation with industry is 60 to 70 %. Practical exercises as vocational preparation

schulen in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg; one of the practical semesters can be waived for students who already possess an adequate professional education or have performed a comparable occupation activity for a corresponding length of time. Until now, one practical semester has been planned or introduced in the majority of degree programmes at Fachhochschulen in the other federal states. If applicable, it is also possible to write the Diplom thesis during this semester. 3

After successful completion of final examinations, the Fachhochschulen award the Diplom degree with the additional denotation “FH”. The subject areas listed in Overview 1 are paired with the Diplom degrees listed in Overview 2 (see p. 18) according to the “Agreement of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Federal States concerning branches of study and Diplom degrees at Fachhochschulen” from 14 November 1980 in the version from 26 January 1996.3

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

7. Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees While the usefulness and extent to which the German Diplom is known is limited, especially in countries outside of Europe, the Anglo-Saxon graduate model (Bachelor’s, Master’s) is generally accepted. The amendments to the Framework Act for Higher Education (HRG) in 1998 give German institutions of higher education the opportunity to award a Bachelor’s degree for the completion of first-level higher education

The standard period of study in the Bachelor’s degree programmes is at least three and at most four years, and at least one year and at most two for Master’s degree programmes. The respective minimum standard period of study is intended to ensure quality assurance. Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes that have been tailored to match one another and are completed in succession should not, however, exceed a standard period of study of five years. The Fachhochschulen have meanwhile established numerous degree programmes offering primarily Master’s degrees as well as Bachelor’s degrees.

8. Opportunities for Graduates of Fachhochschulen to obtain Doctoral Degrees

Learning new things with new media

studies and a Master’s degree for completion of post-graduate degree programmes. This is equally applicable to universities, Fachhochschulen and other institutions of higher education. The final degrees may also be referred to as “Bakkalaureus” and “Magister”. The structural standards were adopted with the resolution from the Standing Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK) of 5 March 19994.

Fachhochschulen do not have an institutional right to confer doctoral degrees. This right is one of the core elements of the universities’ autonomy. Until now, doctoral degree regulations from universities stipulated a university degree as prerequisite for being admitted to a doctoral programme. Especially well qualified graduates of Fachhochschulen – in keeping with a resolution from the Standing Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK) of 3/4 December 1992, in the version from 16 December 1994 – may be able to enroll in a doctoral degree programme without first having to spend additional time attaining a Diplom degree from a university. According to a KMK survey from March 1998, the higher education

19

acts of all federal states are now open to this possibility. Some of them include regulations which permit professors from Fachhochschulen to supervise doctoral work and take part in the examination. The amendments to the Framework Act for Higher Education (HRG) also create new possibilities for switching between Fachhochschulen and universities. Fachhochschulen are also entitled to offer Master’s degree programmes, and students with Bachelor’s degrees fundamentally have the opportunity to switch into Master’s degree programmes at universities. On principle, this makes it possible for the student to afterwards acquire a doctorate.

9. The Job Market for Graduates of Fachhochschulen Fachhochschulen currently educate nearly all social workers/social educators and some two-thirds of all engineers, as well as half of all business administrators and computer scientists. This makes evident the special position they hold within the higher education and employment systems. The technical and scientific areas of specialisation in the range of courses offered by the Fachhochschule are more strongly oriented to occupations in private sector companies. The special qualifications which graduates of Fachhochschulen offer correspond to the economy’s need for specialists with higher education degrees who have received practice-oriented education and thus bring

20

with them good skills for mastering the ever more complex tasks demanded in the industrial and service society. In keeping with this trend, the economy has in the past repeatedly advocated a more differentiated system of higher education with a strong Fachhochschulen sector. The demand for employees with a degree from a Fachhochschule has, according to the trade associates, continued to remain strong. Many companies make no distinction between degrees from a Fachhochschule or a university when hiring. Top and highest level executive positions are open to graduates of Fachhochschulen. The lowest level of unemployment for all educational groups is found among graduates of Fachhochschulen. In trade and industry, the starting salaries of Fachhochschulen and university graduates have become largely compatible. Civil service positions are still an exception. The various types of degrees from institutions of higher education are still closely linked with certain career groups in this field. The introduction of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at institutions of higher education has made a fundamental reassessment of the degrees offered by universities and Fachhochschulen in regard to the access they provide to senior civil service positions all the more necessary.

III. Applied Research and Development The BMBF programme for Applied Research and Development at Fachhochschulen (aFuE) began in 1992 and was instrumental in encouraging practice-oriented research and development work at Fachhochschulen. After getting off to a modest financial start, the funding for this programme has been steadily expanded. The last increase came in 1999, when funds were increased to DM 14.5 million from the DM 11 million seen in the previous year. A total of some 3,800 applications were submitted to BMBF during the eight subsidy rounds between 1992 and 1999, approximately 500 of these were subsidised with a project sum of more than DM 75 million. These figures prove that the commitment of the Fachhochschulen to research has been stimulated far beyond the financial limits of the programme itself. and extends to the entire range of subjects offered. An increasing number of cooperations and pledges of third-party funding from the business community are evidence that the Fachhochschulen are an accepted research and development partner of trade and industry, especially among small and midsized companies.

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

IV. International Aspects

1. Developments in Europe

Austria

Within Europe, Fachhochschulen and similar institutions can be found primarily in the Netherlands and in Flanders, in Austria and in Switzerland. Reform in the higher education systems of other Central and Eastern European countries has led to institutions similar to Fachhochschulen, e.g. in Hungary and Poland.

In May 1993, the Austrian National Council adopted the “Federal Law on Degree Programmes at Fachhochschulen”, intended to provide a broader basis for higher education in Austria. Applications for degree programmes at the Fachhochschulen are submitted by legal entities under private or public law. Following approval from the Fachhochschulen Council, these legal entities then implement the programmes. The Fachhochschulen Council is an independent body of 16 experts – similar to the German Science Council. The members of the Fachhochschulen Council are appointed for a three-year term of office by the Austrian Federal Minister of Science and Transport after consultation with the Austrian Federal Minister of Education and Cultural Affairs. A total of 40 Fachhochschulen degree programmes have been approved in Austria since 1994, e.g. in the fields of tourism, economics, technology, information technology and multimedia. These 40 degree programmes were attended by 6,500 young people in Austria during the1997/98 academic year. The development plan laid down by the Austrian federal government calls for 10,000 study places in the year 2000, while the number of degree programmes could rise to 50 by that time.

Netherlands The non-university-sector in the Netherlands was newly organised in the mid1980s with the founding of some 80 “Hogescholen”. These institutions of higher education offer a broad range of subjects with emphasis on teacher education, social education, business administration, engineering sciences and the artistic fields. They also offer programmes in journalism or medical assistant professions. Two-thirds of all Dutch students are enrolled at the “Hogescholen”, 26% of them as part-time students. The “Hogescholen” are in the process of becoming an independent part of the higher education sector with clear-cut differences to the universities. Qualified graduates have the opportunity to transfer directly into postgraduate degree programmes at universities and thus have the right to attain doctoral degrees. 22

Switzerland

Poland

Switzerland made the decision to establish Fachhochschulen in 1995, conferring on them the task of education as well as applied research and development. In Switzerland, as in Germany, it is possible to obtain a doctoral degree through education at a Fachhochschule. In contrast to Germany, Switzerland has no admission restrictions to its civil service. No distinction is made between applicants from Fachhochschulen and those from universities. Switzerland

On 9 May 1997, the Parliment of Poland passed a law to provide the legal backdrop for establishing public Fachhochschulen. Similar to the situation in Germany, the Fachhochschulen are different, independent institutions within the higher education system. The Polish Fachhochschulen offer interdisciplinary subject areas oriented to the needs of the local employment market. In principle, Fachhochschulen degree programmes are offered on a compulsory attendance basis. The institutions of higher education can, however, also organise distance or evening studies, as well as post-graduate study or continuing education courses. The course of study at a Polish Fachhochschule takes six semesters and includes a 15-week period of practical training. Courses of study with compulsory attendance require 2,200 lecture hours. Distance and evening studies require 1,500. The first Fachhochschulen in Poland opened their doors to students in 1998.

Education at Fachhochschulen is (nearly) boundless

2. Recognition of FH Degrees throughout the entire EU

introduced the first Fachhochschulen degree programmes in the fields of technology, economics and design in 1997. Educational programmes in health care, social affairs, art and music are in the planning. The reforms are scheduled to be completed by 2003. Switzerland foresees the establishment of seven to ten Fachhochschulen offering degrees recognised in all of Europe.

The basis for international recognition of the Diplom degrees awarded by German Fachhochschulen are the directives issued by the European Community. The architect directive was issued in 1985, followed in 1989 by the “General Directive on the Recognition of Degrees from Institutions of Higher Education for Admission to Professions”. It is applicable to all professions not subject to individual directives and dispenses

23

with all previous standardisation of degree programmes in EU member states. The recognition of “Diplom degrees, test certificates or other certificates of qualification” attained after a minimum three-year educational programme at an institution of higher education and intended for entry into a profession or occupational training within the EU is carried out according to the stipulations of this general regulation.

host country may require occupational experience from the immigrant as well as a diploma. This occupation experience – with a maximum of four years – may not exceed twice the length of the lacking educational period. The normal exercising of the occupation, under conditions typical for entry-level workers in the profession, is fully sufficient for meeting this requirement. ■ When the immigrant’s education encom-

The recognition directive is based on the member states’ mutual trust in the educational programmes of the other member states. The basic principle behind the directive is that a member of a profession who has acquired the necessary education for entry into the profession in his or her native country or country of origin is also capable of satisfactorily practising this profession in other EU member states. It applies only to the socalled “regulated” professions, i.e. those which require a diploma for entry into the profession or the exercising of the profession. The directive is not effective in fields in which such regulation does not exist. Due to the directive’s extensive area of application, it provides certain “instruments of adaptation” for balancing out significant differences in the educational programmes of the member states. The member states can use these instruments, but are not required to. The potential additional requirements are detailed in the following: ■ When the duration of the immigrant’s

documented education is at least one year less than the required length of the educational programme in the host country, the

24

passes elements that vary greatly from the content of the education required in the host country, or the occupational profile in the country of origin and the host country are significantly different, the host country may require a maximum three-year adaptation course from the immigrant or require him or her to take an aptitude test. Such “significant differences” exist only when, after additional clarification, the immigrant’s education is found to be lacking in subject areas without which it would be impossible to satisfactorily exercise the profession in the host country. If this is the case, the applicant may decide if he or she prefers the adaptation course or the test. The host country may stipulate which of the two is required for legal occupations. A member state may apply this option to other occupations only within the framework of a Community procedure, i.e. with the approval of the European Commission. The adaptation mechanisms are the same for all member states and all education programmes from institutions of higher learning. The directive does not contain special provisions for degrees from specific types of higher education institutions, e.g. Diplom degrees from German

Fachhochschulen. The host country must in all cases determine whether an immigrant’s degree can be recognised without additional requirements or if one of the designated adaptation mechanisms must first be applied by means of comparing the immigrant’s education with the education necessary for the corresponding profession.

3. Foreign Ties at the Fachhochschulen The Fachhochschulen maintain diverse biand multi-national cooperation and exchange relationships with institutions of higher education in other countries. These relationships have revealed that it is precisely the Fachhochschulen, with their practice-oriented degree programmes and emphasis on applied research and development, that are of special interest for students and institutions of higher education from foreign countries in the East and West. There are a total of some 3,450 cooperations between Fachhochschulen and foreign partner institutions of higher education in 92 countries5. Over the course of the past few years, the underlying conditions for foreign ties at the Fachhochschulen have improved significantly. In this process the Fachhochschulen 5

have rapidly adjusted to students’ needs as well as reacted to the requirements of the employment market. The Fachhochschulen were accepted as a member of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in 1987 as a result of their intensive and successful international ties. Since 1998, the Fachhochschulen have referred to themselves internationally as “universities of applied sciences” – after the appropriate rulings from the Standing Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK) and the Association of Universities and other Higher Education Institutions (HRK) – and thus make it easier for English-speaking partner countries to adequately classify the Fachhochschule as an institution. The integration of the Fachhochschulen in the activities of the DAAD, both within the framework of the scholarship programmes as well as on an institutional basis, was successfully strengthened as part of the University Special Programme III (HSP III). The DAAD presented the results of a study on the “Position of the Fachhochschulen in the DAAD Grant Offer” in April 1998. Among

other things, this study reveals that students at Fachhochschulen are proportionally underrepresented in terms of scholarships, but that the chances of being granted a DAAD scholarship are just as high for applicants from Fachhochschulen as they are for university applicants. Several programmes in the DAAD scholarship offer are of special interest to German students at Fachhochschulen. These include the programme “Short-term Study Visits for Finishing Work”, stipends for travelling costs, and scholarships for summer courses and special courses. Starting in the 2000/ 2001 academic year, the DAAD will also offer subsidising of combined study and practice projects in the form of annual scholarship programme for students at Fachhochschulen. This also includes semester stays at a foreign institution of higher education. European Union support programmes play a significant role in terms of aiding student mobility (e.g. SOKRATES) and increasingly as a means of promoting cross-border cooperation in the fields of applied research, transfer of technology and knowledge, and continuing education (LEONARDO). The Fachhochschulen furthermore take part in the Fulbright Commission scholarship programme. The programme “Practice Semester Abroad” from the Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft (CDG) is oriented specifically to Fachhochschulen students in technical and economic degree programmes.

4. International Degree Programmes Approximately one-third of German Fachhochschulen offer international degree programmes in which some portion of the

26

studies are to be spent at an institution of higher education or company in a foreign country. It is becoming increasingly possible to attain degrees from both participating institutions of higher education in these degree programmes. There are also a number of international degree programmes available at Fachhochschulen. The demonstration programme “International Degree Programmes”, initiated by BMBF, promotes the establishment of international degree programmes. It is implemented by DAAD and the HRK. This programme helps to create new first-level higher education studies and post-graduate degree programmes at German institutions of higher education which offer efficient specialised qualification, multiple languages, experience abroad and special supervision, in particular for students from abroad. These are Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes, especially in the fields of economics, natural and engineering sciences as well as cultural and social sciences. A total of 20 international model degree courses from the BMBF model programme are currently being tested at German institutions of higher education, seven of these at Fachhochschulen. An additional twelve model degree courses (five of these at Fachhochschulen) are to be initiated in the 1999/ 2000 winter semester. The programme has been exceptionally well received by German and foreign students and is initially scheduled to run until 2003. BMBF is providing DM 65 million in funding for this programme. Further information can be requested from the institutions of higher education and from DAAD (see addresses in appendix).

V. Perspectives

The German system of higher education is unique in terms of the structure, breadth and differentiation of its subject areas, which should prove to be a location advantage within the European economic region. The Fachhochschulen play an important role in this system of higher education. There are still a number of problems to be solved, however: ■ The Fachhochschulen currently take in less

than 30 % of first-year students. The mutual goal of the federal government and the states is to increase this figure to 40% over the long term. Of prime importance in accomplishing this goal is the expansion of the Fachhochschulen, which must be reflected in the registrations of the states in accordance with the Law for Promotion of Construction of Higher Education Institutions (HBFG). This expansion goal must be linked with a broadening of the range of the subjects offered to include degree programmes which hold great promise for the future. ■ The 40%-goal cannot be reached with

the creation of additional capacity alone. Underlying financial conditions will likely hinder a corresponding spatial expansion of the Fachhochschulen sector in the future as well. Nor does the current level of demand permit expansion of this dimension. For this reason, degree programmes that were previously reserved for universities should also be offered at Fachhochschulen.

■ The established task of the Fachhoch-

schulen is to further develop their range of degree programmes and adapt to changing requirements. This applies to the contents, the presentation and the organisation of teaching and studies. The federal government faces the special challenge of internationalising content. The programme “Internationally Oriented Degree Programmes” is helping to do just that. The goal is to improve the individual support provided to Fachhochschulen students by the DAAD and CDG. In addition, the preconditions for international cooperations must be further improved. The expansion of foreign student offices begun under the University Special Programme III (HSP III) must be continued. ■ In terms of the implementation of studies, general measures for improving teaching

and instruction have been under discussion for years now. Goals here include the increased use of media, the augmentation of conventional teaching through distance studies, PC and Internet. The new conception of virtual degree programmes also plays a role here. Corresponding projects are already being supported. The project “Virtual Fachhochschule,” a network of several (northern) German Fachhochschulen under the leadership of the Fachhochschule Lübeck is worthy of particular note. This project began in 1998. 27

■ The Framework Act for Higher Education

(HRG) created the legal basis for Fachhochschulen to also be able to offer Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes. The Fachhochschulen must be enabled to establish courses which correspond to occupational profiles and can hold their own with competing degree programmes from universities. The establishment of an accreditation system plays an important role here, both in terms of how well graduates are received on the employment market as well as the transition between the different types of institutions of higher education. This even includes making it easier for graduates of Fachhochschulen to enroll in doctoral programmes.

limitations in civil service. The foremost example is access to senior civil service positions. The German FH Diplom is often undervalued on the international employ-

On-site experience

■ The BMBF programme “Applied Research

and Development at Fachhochschulen” (aFuE), which has been running since 1992, has been one of the instrumental projects in setting the course. Its structural goal is to improve the ability of the capability of the Fachhochschulen to acquire third-party funding. The Fachhochschulen are increasingly implementing important, practice-oriented aFuE projects. They still have difficulties, however, in attracting sufficient project funding. The availability of support for applied research and development at Fachhochschulen must be further improved. New specialist programmes must also be established that take into account the practical relevance and the rapid implementation of application-oriented projects at Fachhochschulen. ■ In principle, Fachhochschulen graduates have very good chances in the employment system but still encounter restrictions and

28

ment market as well, however. The introduction of the term “university of applied sciences” as the international label for the Fachhochschule as an institution and the establishment of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees have created an important basis for continuing improved acceptance. Wherever unjust entry restrictions are in force, however, the goal is to make valid the political principle of institutions of higher education: “different yet equivalent”. Increasing personnel and funding for higher education cannot be effective, nor could responsibility be taken for such a move, without a far-reaching reform of higher education structures.

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 universities and 40% Fachhochschulen. 4 Both the information on students and successfully passed examinations at institutions of higher education is based on the 75% transition rate variant of Model B. According to status quo calculation, the current length of time spent studying at universities (approx. 14 semesters) and at Fachhochschulen (approx. 9.7 semesters) will remain constant until 2015. 1 2
