Deutsch Connect head of languages, Malven Mambo said Germany is ranked among the world’s top destinations for international students with over 370 universities, globally recognised student programs, affordable tuition and working opportunities and future prospects for international students.
“Furthermore the German Dual Vocational Training program (Ausbildung) is the best in the world at enabling young people to be able to work and learn at the same time,” he said.
Mambo added that apart from providing German language courses to Rydings College they would also provide Placement, twinning with a German school, trip to Germany and links to opportunities with German universities and vocational colleges.
