Is there any difference between living in eastern or western Germany?
The Berlin Wall fell on a November night in 1989 and the two German States reunited in 1990. Today, the differences between the “Ossis” from the east and the “Wessis” from the west are still noticeable, although they are increasingly fading. Young people, in particular, no longer grow up with the awareness of a divided identity. Indeed, much has become more modern in the east: This part of Germany has been undergoing a process of modernisation since German unification. Students will find smaller universities in the east which have the advantage that much more direct contact between academic staff and students is possible. You can find the International Degree Programmes in here.
