Life in Germany
Germany is situated in the heart of Europe and shares its borders with more neighbouring countries than any other European state - namely 9 in total. Indeed, you are sure to notice this when you walk, ride or drive along its streets and roads. People from all the countries of the world live here. Of the 82 million inhabitants, some 8 million come from abroad, which means that almost 10 percent of the population is of foreign origin. This has naturally left its mark for instance on the culinary landscape. Italian pizza houses, Spanish bodegas, Greek taverns and Turkish kebab stands, as well as Chinese restaurants have become part of everyday city life. Germany is a many-sided and colourful, as well as a relatively safe country.

Germany is a country blessed with an extremely
efficient industry and possesses an education system which
not only needs to meet the requirements of this industry
but has an ethical commitment, too. The country's history
is thrilling and ever present, the landscape is varied,
and the range of cultural offerings unparalleled in Europe.
In Western Europe, German is the mother tongue of almost
100 million people. Germany's very powerful industry and
the increasingly global activities of companies are lending
more and more weight to the German language, even at international
level. The manifold leisure activities organised at the
universities are supplemented by endless possibilities outside
the academic sphere. Sports, cultural events, or simply
friendly get-togethers - there is doubtless something for
everyone. It is obvious that there are many good reasons
for spending some time in Germany.
