For example, three years ago, the University of Bonn was the first to take advantage of an additional financial opportunity that the North Rhine-Westphalian Premier, Andreas Pinkwart was able to grant it: permission to charge foreign students an extra 150 euros (US $202) per semester. The money was used to organize some cost-intensive programs such as German language courses and one-on-one counseling during exam periods.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Wiarda, Jan-Martin, \u201cAlle mal herkommen!\u201d Die Zeit, Zeit Online, 25.02.2010.<\/p>\n *In the area of engineering\/technology and computer sciences, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities compiled by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked with twenty-two other universities at 78 or below, well beneath such institutions as the Technical University of Denmark.
