Study in Germany

Many Master's programs — especially in engineering, computer science, and business — are taught fully in English. Basic German (~A2 level) helps with daily life and part-time work, but is not always required for admission to English-taught programs.

Most students budget €700–€900 per month for rent, food, health insurance, and other living expenses. Larger cities like Munich are more expensive (€900–€1,100/month), while smaller university cities like Aachen or Kaiserslautern are cheaper (€600–€750/month).

Yes. International students can work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year without a separate work permit. Most students work 10–15 hours per week on campus or in nearby jobs.

After graduation, you can apply for an 18-month job-seeker visa (Aufenthaltserlaubnis zur Arbeitssuche), during which you can look for a job matching your qualifications. Once employed, you can convert it to a work permit.

Most German universities accept IELTS (typically band 6.0–7.0) and TOEFL iBT. Some universities also accept Duolingo English Test or their own internal English proficiency tests. The requirement varies by program — always check with the specific university.

Public German universities charge no tuition fees for most programs (both domestic and international students). You only pay a semester contribution (€100–€500) that usually includes a public transport semester ticket for the region.

TU Munich, LMU Munich, Heidelberg University, RWTH Aachen, TU Berlin, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are among the most popular. Many also offer well-ranked programs in English.

A blocked account (Sperrkonto) is required to prove financial resources for the student visa. You need to deposit approximately €11,904/year (€992/month). Services like Expatrio, Fintiba, or Deutsche Bank offer this. Our consultants can guide you through the process.
