The focus of German international education policy is not only on the admission of students, but also on assisting them to complete their studies and succeed in their careers. In a live EAIE report on September 15, The PIE News, DAAD Secretary-General Kai Sicks stressed talent attraction and retention, noting that universities still have autonomous decision-making space.
Background and main orientation
The official FIT programme of DAAD covers school readiness, school support and career service, and promotes cooperative networks between universities and employers. It is funded by the University Support Scheme, which cannot be directly interpreted as a scholarship for every international student.
Key figures and time
Officially 89 FIT schemes have been funded since 1 April 2024 until 2028. This is the background to the latest policy discussions that have been planned, rather than the new visa measures announced in September; Nor should the estimates in the media interviews be recast as precise university figures.
How does Taiwan's students and parents use this information?
Editorial Recommendation: When comparing the curriculum, the school is asked whether it offers language, study guidance and international career services, as well as clients and participation conditions. The existence of a plan does not constitute a guarantee of admission, internship or post-graduation work; Individual visas and conditions of employment continue to be subject to separate official requirements.
