Given the relative sizes of the countries quoted, the Netherlands is doing really rather well overall. Wonder what their secret is.

It's worth pointing out also, we have more universities overall than Germany (109 against 70-ish according to the great god Wiki), and a lower population, so rather more university places per head and, presumably, more chances for people to get into them.

Having said that, you have to wonder what sort of courses are on offer at some of them...
