The Federal Statistic Office (Destatis) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) are the main organizations responsible for data collection. The Ministry of Education and Research is charged with setting policies relating to international student data collection. Data have been collected over the last 20 to 25 years, to date on an annual basis. For purposes of collection, an international student is defined by country of citizenship.
Further classifications are broken down into two categories:
Bildungsauslaender: Foreign country of previous education/study (level of secondary education completed in countries outside Germany)
Bildungsinlaender: Previous education/study in Germany (level of secondary education completed in Germany).
Data are collected on: gender; field of study; academic level; ethnicity (in terms of nationality); type of host institution attended; and degree/qualification/credential awarded.
