The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 When the Government Reviewers Arrive, It\u2019s Theater-Time at German Universities \u2013 10<\/p>\n
The reactions to the review procedures were very mixed, in spite of all the preparations. It was said, for example, that the whole process at Konstanz and Freiburg had been a failure. That idea, though, was met with incomprehension at those universities. It was certainly true that it was not easy to assess how things had come off, since after the formal presentation of the university proposals, the review and inspection shifted to several small group discussions. Those involved at Konstanz did admit that the opening presentation had clearly not gone well. The examiners\u2019 questions had not been precisely answered. The discussions that followed, though, were said to have been more successful.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Maisch, Andreas, \u201eWenn die Gutachter kommen, wird die Uni zum Theater\u201c, Die Zeit Online, 13 April 2012.<\/p>\n *According to The Times of London, in its Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2011-2012, the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 88 overall among the world\u2019s universities.<\/strong> At its current ranking, the Technical University of Munich is not so very far behind many universities in, for example, East Asia. It is now only seventeen places behind China\u2019s Tsinghua University (ranked 71 in the world), only twenty-six places behind the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (ranked 62 in the world), only thirty-nine places behind Peking University (ranked 49 in the world), only forty-eight places behind the National University of Singapore (ranked 40 in the world), only thirty-five places behind Korea\u2019s Pohang University of Science and Technology (ranked 53 in the world), and, for another comparison, only eighty-one places behind the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (ranked 7 in the world).

In Hochschulkreisen hei\u00dft es beispielsweise, dass die Begehungen in Konstanz und Freiburg ein Misserfolg gewesen seien. Dort st\u00f6\u00dft die Aussage jedoch auf Unverst\u00e4ndnis. Das Abschneiden l\u00e4sst sich in der Tat schwer einsch\u00e4tzen, da die Begehungen nach der Vorstellung der Antr\u00e4ge in viele kleine Gruppengespr\u00e4che unterteilt waren. Beteiligte in Konstanz r\u00e4umen aber ein, dass die Auftaktveranstaltung mit der Pr\u00e4sentation des Antrags offenbar nicht gut verlaufen ist. Die Fragen der Gutachter seien nicht genau beantwortet worden. Die darauf folgenden Gespr\u00e4che seien jedoch erfolgreicher gewesen.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt.)<\/p>\n Quelle: Maisch, Andreas, \u201eWenn die Gutachter kommen, wird die Uni zum Theater\u201c, Die Zeit Online, 13.04.2012.<\/p>\n *Nach der Times of London, Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2011-2012, steht die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, eine durch die deutsche Regierung anerkannte \u201eElite-Universit\u00e4t\u201c, an der 88.
