Our Promise

We are neutral - and transparent

We aim to offer international students independent and professional advice. Therefore, we list all available study offers on MyGermanUniversity.com - while many other portals or agencies only list or recommend those (private) universities that pay for exposure.

However, we have to earn money to provide our services free of charge, which is our priority. We do this by allowing German universities to present their courses of study prominently (see the colored tiles with images in the result lists).
