EDUopinions ranks German Universities best in Europe

Germany, which doesn’t have the same level of prestige or tradition that comes with some other institutions enjoyed a high average rating - 4.2 out of 5 which shows that it’s all about quality of teaching rather then weight of reputation. 

Despite their high proportion of 5 star ratings, students in the United Kingdom had a higher  average rating of 4.3 - with more than 90% of their reviews for the United KIngdom’s myriad of institutions were either 4 or 5 stars out of 5.

Like the UK, there are no 1 star reviews for German institutions and students in Germany were the most likely to give a 5 star review to their experience at 41.2% compared to the UK’s 40.9%.

The worst performing country in the EU was Spain, with an average review of just 3.9/5 for their various institutions.
