Universities in Germany the Best in Europe According to Students

04/09/2018

EDUopinions – a unique education review site where you can find real students’ verified opinions about their university experiences – has discovered recently that Germany is the European country with the largest proportion of 5-star student reviews. This is particularly interesting given that it does not have as many universities at the top end of international league tables (as, for example, the UK).

On EDUopinions.com current and past university students write reviews which are then verified by EDUopinions and added to an institution’s page on the site, along with ratings out of 5 stars covering various topics such as ‘Student Life,’ ‘Professors,’ and ‘Facilities.’ These specific ratings are then compiled to create an ‘Overall Rating’ (also out of five stars) for the institution.

Students in Germany Rate Their Universities as the Best in Europe

German universities display impressive amounts of high-scoring reviews; specifically with 41% of reviews on German universities being 5 out of 5-star ratings. On average, Germany’s universities ratings amounted to 4.2 stars out of 5 despite many of the institutions lacking a typical ‘prestige’ or ‘reputation’ with reviewers instead focusing on current standards at their institution. Impressively, no institution in Germany has a 1-star review left by a student.

Ratings From Students in the UK Put Their Universities in Second Place

The United Kingdom’s percentage of 5-star ratings is 40% and therefore slightly lower compared to Germany. Impressively, out of its many institutions, 90% of the UK’s universities, colleges, and business schools EDUopinions reviews are either 4 or 5-star ratings. At the opposite end of the scale, only 9% of UK student reviews are 3-star ratings, and less than 1% are 2 stars. Similar to Germany, there are no reviews on UK universities with a rating of below 2 stars.
