Path to Studying in Germany: "My GUIDE" now includes DAAD International Programmes

"My GUIDE" is a platform run by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). It provides information to support prospective international students on their journey towards studying in Germany. Until now, the search feature for study programmes was based solely on data from the Higher Education Compass, the database of the German Rectors' Conference (HRK). As of October 20, the service has been expanded to include courses offered by DAAD International Programmes.

The HRK-Higher Education Compass covers the entire study landscape in Germany, but does not distinguish between programmes with a generalized or more international focus. In response, My GUIDE has now been expanded to include content from the DAAD database "International Programmes in Germany". The degree programmes provide special advantages to prospective international students:

Classes primarily taught in English
Focus on international matters
Support from staff, who are experienced in assisting international students
Smaller group sizes and tailored support, providing a seamless transition into the new environment

The launch of the “International Programmes” section is yet another building block within the My GUIDE Campus project. In the future, the platform will be expanded to include additional features that can personalize the search for degree programmes and study prep with online self-assessments, language and subject-specific tools, and new digital services for higher education institutions. With this, My GUIDE can grow into an interactive multi-sided platform that makes German higher education institutions more visible on a global scale and supports international students on their individual paths to a German higher education institution.
