According to a press release from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), "2011 marks the first year that foreign students registered at German universities numbered over 250,000–this represents 11.4% of all students in Germany. Most of these hail from China, with Russia, Bulgaria, Poland, and Austria following by a clear margin. These results stem from the current issue of the data report 'Wissenschaft weltoffen' (Science Open to the World) which the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) publishes annually in cooperation with the HIS-Institute for Research on Higher Education (HIS-HF)."

The annual data report, "Wissenschaft weltoffen," provides details on the current status of international studies and research, and is complemented by an extensive range of data.
