Germany offers international, highly-qualified scientists and researchers outstanding working conditions in specific fields. Some branches are looking for highly-qualified foreigners who can, under certain condition, immediately receive a residence permit. In this context, highly-qualified means, not least, academics, scientists and researchers with particular subject or specialist knowledge plus academic and research staff in key positions. In the field of research and development, in particular, the proportion of foreign staff is already very high at 8% to 10%. After graduating, foreign students can remain in Germany for up to one year to look for a job. Many opportunities are also open abroad for staff who gained experience in Germany. Numerous German companies maintain branches and subsidiaries all around the world.
