The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 PhD Inflation in Germany: Let the doctorates begin! \u2013 2<\/p>\n
German politicians who deal with education are always deeply concerned about Germany\u2019s position in international rankings. They are thus quite happy that Germany is high on the list when it comes to doctorates. Among all of the OECD countries, the one country that produces more PhDs is the United States. The authors of a new study, “Promovierende im Profil” have concluded that only in Switzerland is there a greater intensity among young scholars for acquiring a doctorate. The study reports that at German universities, 26,981 people received doctorates in 2011, more than ever before in Germany. In other words, in 2011, 6.9 percent of all German university graduates received PhDs.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Knauss, Ferdinand, Zeit Online, 03.04.2013. \u201cWhile the traditional study-abroad sites for Americans, Britain, Italy, Spain and France, still attract more students from the United States, the report found that China is now the fifth-most-popular destination.\u201d \u2013 The New York Times<\/p>\n And what about Germany?<\/em><\/p>\n Novel: http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/revision<\/p>\n —————————————–<\/p>\n 22 AUGUST 2013, DONNERSTAG, D\u00dcSSELDORF, DEUTSCHLAND<\/p>\n Die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen* \u2013 Doktortitel-Inflation: Lasst das Promovieren sein! \u2013 2<\/p>\n Deutsche Bildungspolitiker sorgen sich um nichts so sehr, wie \u00fcber Deutschlands Abschneiden in internationalen Rankings. Da wird es sie freuen, dass Deutschland bei den Promotionen fast ganz oben steht. Unter allen OECD-L\u00e4ndern produzieren nur die USA mehr.
