German students in Canada

Více o knize

The Canadian Studies Directorate of the Department of the Secretary of State of Canada has commissioned this study of German student experiences in Canada for several important reasons. Canadian Studies in the Federal Republic of Germany have grown considerably over the past ten years due, in part, to the strength and vitality of the “Gesellschaft fur Kanada-Studien.” Forty of the forty-four German universities now offer Canadian Studies, and academic linkages between the Federal Republic and Canada have been expanding accordingly, especially university exchange programmes. As well, a growing number of Canadians are interested in a variety of foreign student issues. A study such as this is intended to contribute to our understanding of how study in Canada is viewed by international students themselves. This report, prepared by the Institute for Canadian Studies at the University of Augsburg in the Federal Republic, reveals fascinating information of both a qualitative and quantitative nature, which should help to inform students, policy makers and universities about questions the Commission called vital to the health of Canada's international academic relationships.
