A joint hybrid study program was launched to offer students worldwide an academic degree and an entry into the German job market.

Integration of international students into the German labor market
The challenge of attracting more international students to the German job market has become increasingly important in recent years. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has found that Germany has a growing skills gap. Every year, around 75,000 international students start studying in Germany, with around half of these courses taking place in MINT subjects. A position paper with ten recommendations from the DAAD DAAD published, calls for more commitment from politicians and universities in order to double these numbers by 2030.
The central recommendations include increasing the number of international first-year students through improved marketing and better integration into the labor market. Political and structural obstacles should be removed. The DAAD has also submitted a proposal to the federal government for a funding program to support the qualifications of international students.
The role of international study programs in Germany
With a number of 319,283 registered foreign students in the 2014/2015 winter semester, the group makes up around 12% of the total 2.7 million students in Germany, as shown on bpb.de can be seen. These students can be divided into foreign students and foreign students, with the latter usually living temporarily in Germany to study. Chinese students represent the largest group of foreign students.
The German government aims to increase the number of international students from 300,000 in 2014 to 350,000 by 2020. The job search period for international graduates was extended from 12 to 18 months. Access to the labor market is intended to be made easier in order to improve career prospects for international students and promote integration into German society.
The newly developed partnership between Nexford and Constructor University could not only expand study opportunities, but also contribute to closing the skills gap in Germany.
