3. Graduate Student Recruitment in Germany and Austria
The German education market
German universities do not offer enough capacity in graduate programmes for all interested students. This gives
international universities the opportunity to increase the influx of German students to their master programmes.
Germans are very mobile as far as their education is concerned. Therefore, many students who will receive their
bachelor degree in the coming one to two years are already looking for alternatives in other countries. The
internationalization of postgraduate programmes is very important to most international universities, and the
German situation is very promising for the success of marketing efforts
in the field of student recruitment for master programmes.
It's the mix that counts
It is recommended using more than one channel in your communication strategy. Although the internet has become
increasingly important over the last few years, the target audience uses additional channels of information. Numerous
students read magazines for information about obtaining a second degree. In addition, personal contact with study
advisors or students of a specific university is essential to them before deciding on a master’s programme. A combination
of the three channels (internet, print and recruitment fair) is therefore crucial to a successful recruitment strategy.
MASTER AND MORE – Cross-media graduate recruitment
The MASTER AND MORE campaign offers you a suitable mix of channels for the German-speaking market.
You can take advantage of the synergy resulting from communicating through complementary channels
connected to social media.
