The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has opened an office in Amman, Jordan, to advise potential exchange students and researchers on opportunities to study and work in Germany.
The centre is supposed to ensure Germany profits from the high levels of education and the budding research landscape in Jordan, the DAAD said in a statement on 13 May. “There were already 850 Jordanian students at German higher education institutions in 2011,” said Christian Hülshörster, the DAAD’s Middle East group leader. “The DAAD information centre should foster this trend.”
The DAAD said that most budding scientists in Jordan looking to do a PhD abroad are opting for stays in Canada, the United States or Australia. It is therefore important to promote Germany as a potential destination.
