Best universities in Germany

Hello everybody!

I'm a student at the German School in Spain and I'd like to go study at a university in Germany, now that I have passed the Abitur.
I'd like to study either Übersetzen und Dolmetschen or International Business/Relationships.
Does anybody here know which is the best university for each degree, and what kind of Abschluss could I get?

Any advice would be really appreciated!
Big kisses.

AFAIK, Mannheim is considered a top-notch business school.

There's a previous thread on "Where to study languages in Germany" where you'll find some information about studying for Translation. Also there's a post with a link to the University ranking done by die Zeit (a newspaper) where you can see for different subjects which are the best universities.

However, also take into account other aspects as where do you want to live, how expensive a given city is and things like that.

What is "International Relationships"? You mean international politics?

Jules, thanks a lot I will check that uni out
Panama, I'm sorry I didn't know about that. Thanks for the information. I already used the ranking but starting with a subject I can't find Translation studies...
Tom, well,at least in Spain there is a difference between those degrees. Maybe in Germany there isn't one...
I'll check that out
Thanks everyone for the help. Really appreciate it!
Big kisses.

Munich (International) Business School is one that I know.

I was thinking about either Heidelberg or Berlin...
I've heard Munich is really expensive.
Where can I find WG's? At the university or does it go "appart"?

Usually accommodation is off-campus. You can take a look at wg-gesucht.de for private rooms or you can also take a look at www.studentenwerk.de for subsidiated student rooms run by the state.

If "International Business" is something like "Internationales Management" you could have a look at the University of Hohenheim (thats near Stuttgart). I studied there a few years back and loved it. I dont know about the quality of this explicit field of study, but quality of life is great (or at least it was at my time). It´s a very pleasant campus with a castle and a park to enjoy the sun, but you can easily go to Stuttgart by Public Transport. And the parties are (were) great too. And as we all know, thats the most important part of studying anyway.

I think she is looking for "Internationalen Beziehungen" in the sense of foreign affairs.

Maybe she changes her mind if she visits Hohenheim.

Yes it is.


Heidelberg doesn't offer business. The Heidelberg and Mannheim universities sort of work together (if you are enrolled at one university, you can take classes and get credit for them at the other). For business you would have to go to Mannheim (out of the two). But that's right by Heidelberg.
HD does offer political science

You could find a dorm through the university (Studentenwohnheim) and I am sure most universities offer some kind of housing service, or at least a board to put up ads. (Mine, Heidelberg, does anyway.)

And hello from someone else in Barcelona!

If "Internationalen Beziehungen" is what she's looking for, I study that as part of my degree in the UK. It translates as "international relations" (or so I'm told by my lectureres...)

Hmmmm, somehow until now I've been missing the business part. Doh!
