It sharpens the guidelines on how businesses and authorities are allowed to use personal data. For a long time it was considered exemplary, but is now being criticized from many directions.

Curiosity leads to success

They investigate sustainable sources of energy, nanotechnology applications and complex questions in finance mathematics: for more than 50 years curious students have been demonstrating their abilities in the Jugend forscht competition. In 1965 the then editor-in-chief of Stern magazine, Henri Nannen, founded the competition. It started off with around 250 participants, but today there are more than 12,000 contestants. The youngest are in the fourth grade at school and the oldest are 21 years old.

How to Become a Medical Doctor in Germany

Admission to medical universities in Germany is extremely competitive. Medical, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and dentistry training spots are limited or numerus clausus (NC, Latin for "closed number").

How to find an internship in Germany

If you are applying for an internship while still a student, then a good place to start is your university. Speak to the Careers Office about what programs are available to you. The benefits of going through your university are many: A lot of the research has already been done for you, the programmes offered through the university are tailored and pitched to you as a student of that university, and you will likely be able to speak to people and get first-hand testimonials. If you aren't quite sure of what you're looking for, or want a general overview of the process and positions available, then utilize your university's resources.

Germany’s most important book

After World War II disagreements developed between the three victorious powers Great Britain, France and the USA, and their wartime ally the Soviet Union about the future of occupied Germany. In order to push forward plans for a partial state in the west under the auspices of their military government, the three military governors authorized the West German minister presidents of the federal states to carry out concrete tasks. These authorizations became known as the Frankfurt Documents. The first, and most important document, required the setting up of a constituent assembly which should draft a federal and democratic constitution.
