Higher education

For obvious economic and demographic reasons, the German-speaking Community has neither set up universities of applied sciences with longer study programmes nor universities. Usually, most pupils from the GC complete their studies at French-speaking colleges or universities, but recently there has been an increase in the number deciding to study across the border in Germany.

Higher education organized or subsidized by the French Community consists of an association of higher education institutions into academic centers and coordinated by an Academy of Research and Higher Education (ARES).
