Student boom: over 30% share in many university locations!

In Austria, the discussion about the number of medical study places is conducted heated. There are currently 1,900 beginners at the public universities, which are to be increased to 2,000 by 2028. According to the Austrian university conference (Uniko), however, a further increase does not make sense, since bottlenecks in health doctors are not primarily due to too few study places, but rather in the unattractive health insurance position, especially in rural regions. This information was reported by the Kleine Zeitung

student statistics in German universities

In the meantime, it is also striking that the number of students in many cities in Germany stagnate or decrease. A ranking of cities with the highest proportion of students shows that casting is an exception with 38.3% of the population and is at the forefront of the student shares. In addition, Gießen is one of the few cities with a high density of students that are not one of the largest cities in Germany. It can be surprised that Furwangen in the Black Forest and Wildau also have high student parts of over 30%, while cities such as cubes and Cologne are in absolute numbers, but are significantly fewer students in relation to the number of inhabitants. This data comes from the detailed examination of Studis online .

In recent years, it has also been found that the largest universities in Germany, especially in the field of universities of applied sciences, have a steady growth. The IU International University now has over 110,000 students and remains the country's largest university. These developments raise questions about the future educational market and indicate the need to rethink the structure of university education and to take more attention to the needs of the students and the labor market.
