I believe many people have the impression that Germany is a developed country that respects and abides by the rules, and its military system is also very strict. Do you know the ranking of German universities? This article will introduce it to you.
1、 2022 QS ranking of German universities
Germany No.1, Munich University of Technology, ranked 50th in the world, up 5 places from the previous year.
Germany No.2, Munich University, ranked 63rd in the world, the same as the previous year.
Germany No.3, Heidelberg University, ranked 64 in the world, up 2 places from the previous year.
Germany No.4, Humboldt University of Berlin, ranked 117 in the world, up 3 places from the previous year.
Germany No.5, Free University of Berlin, ranked 130 globally, the same as the previous year.
Germany No.6, Karlsruhe University of Technology, ranked 131 in the world, down 7 places from the previous year.
Germany No.7, Aachen University of Technology, ranked 145 in the world, down 7 places from the previous year.
Germany No.8, Berlin University of Technology, ranked 148 in the world, down one place from the previous year.
Germany No.9, Dresden University of Technology, ranked 173 in the world, up 6 places from the previous year.
Germany No.10, University of Tubingen, ranked 175 in the world, down 6 places from the previous year.
Germany No. 11, Freiburg University, ranked 175 in the world, down 6 places from the previous year.
Germany No.12, University of Gottingen, ranked 195 in the world, two places higher than the previous year.

Germany No.14, University of Bonn, ranked 240 in the world, up 3 places from the previous year.
Germany No.15, Darmstadt University of Technology, ranked 267 in the world, down 7 places from the previous year.
Germany No.16, University of Cologne, ranked 282 in the world, up 26 places from the previous year.
Germany No.17, Mannheim University, ranked 307 in the world, up 7 places from the previous year.
These are the 307 German universities in the world. In fact, QS ranking is based on British and American private comprehensive universities, which has no advantage over German universities. The German university system, dominated by public universities, has been divided from the beginning into a practical university of applied technology, fachhochschule, and an ordinary university that attaches importance to academic research. In the university system, there are technologische universitaet engineering universities focusing on engineering. The well-known tu9 is only Munich University, Karlsruhe Polytechnic University and Aachen Polytechnic University, and the Berlin Polytechnic University ranks above 150 in the world. In such a QS with comprehensive strength as the criterion, it naturally has great disadvantages. Many German doctors are corporate dual systems, so most of their research papers are kept confidential by enterprises and cannot be published, so that the ranking of German universities still lags behind that of Britain and the United States.
