25,538 students at the University of Kassel

Exactly 25,538 people are studying at the University of Kassel in the winter semester 2017/18. This is according to the final data for the semester ("cut-off date figures"), which are now available. That is just under 500 students more than a year ago and more than ever before.

The number of newly admitted students (first-time and new enrollments) is almost stable, at 5,111; this represents a slight decrease of 100 students. 6,015 students are in their 1st semester. 12,354 of the enrollees are female.

The number of international students has increased significantly to 3,201 (previous year: 3,040). This corresponds to 12.5 percent of enrollees. The number of "Bildungsausländer", i.e. those who acquired their university entrance qualification abroad, is 2,195 (2,048). Among international students, Turkish nationals form the largest group, followed by Chinese nationals.
