It becomes outright silly when US recruiters are charged with going through non-US resumes. We've had an Irish engineer being asked if this German university is "Ivy league equivalent". To which the only possible reply is "how the hell am I supposed to know?" There's 50-ish separate education systems, have fun making any sense out of it.

That’s amusing. The German university system was actively designed (or modified) after 1968 to get rid of all such prestige hierarchies. There are real universities and there are universities of the applied sciences and that’s really it. Every German university is a high quality university.

I’d say a university of applied sciences is a ‘real’ university by international standards.
