Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands are among the world’s favourite destinations for tertiary education. Germany hosts between 5%-10% of the world’s international students, and ranks forth among the most popular destination in absolute numbers. For Germans in reverse, the Netherlands is the most popular destination for tertiary study outside of Germany. It is evident that there is a true exchange of talents across borders.
