Abstract

[In 1971, the first Fachhochschulen (since the 1990s officially translated “Universities of Applied Sciences”) were established in the Federal Republic of Germany as a second type of higher education institutions beside the existing universities. This was the consequence of a long-lasting debate about the best possible response to the rising student enrolment quotas most countries experienced since about the 1960s. This debate absorbed views widespread in the U.S. that diversification of higher education is needed in the process of expansion of higher education, as, for example, expressed by Trow (1974, 1978), but led to different consequences than those in the U.S., i.e. the establishment of a two-type structure of the German higher education system.]
