At the same time, the projected increase in normal government assistance to university students failed to gain approval in the upper house.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Wiarda, Jan-Martin, \u201cChance vertan\u201c, Die Zeit (Zeit-Online), 5 August 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.
