Why Germany?

About Germany

With about 83 million people, Germany has the largest population among the European Union’s countries. The nation is renowned for its stormy past and interactions with its neighbors. But Germany has cemented its position as a major global power in the twenty-first century. Its economy is robust; as of 2017, it had the fifth-largest GDP in the world. Because of this, it’s a great spot to get work after finishing your studies. It has a free higher education system, a universal healthcare system, and environmental protection.

Popular Destination

Bordering with 9 other European cities, Germany is the ideal location for foreign students. This is, in part, due to how easy it is to explore Europe from Germany. In 2014, it was reported by the OECD that Germany was the world’s third leading destination for international study.

Reasons for study

Universität (university), Fachhochschule (university of applied sciences), and Kunstschulen, Musikhochschulen, or Filmschulen (colleges of art, music, or film) are the three main categories of higher education institutions in Germany. There is a course for everyone because there are thousands of programs available. Although many of the institution types offer comparable courses, their emphasis differs slightly. University programs are often research-driven, whereas Fachhochschule courses take a more hands-on approach to learning.

Historical Attraction

Germany has a rich history and a long-standing heritage of culture and tourism, so it’s worth visiting all of its fascinating landmarks! It is absolutely worth taking advantage of the student discounts offered by several museums and art galleries across the nation.

Opportunities

Tuition and Accommodation

Germany’s official currency is the Euro (€).

In Germany, several public institutions charge very little for their programs. The administrative/registration fee ranges from €50 to €250 per semester. Both EU and non-EU students may be affected by this, depending on the university of choice. However, in the state of Baden-Württemburg, educational institutions are permitted to charge non-EU students a fee of €1,500 per semester. Private universities are allowed to set their own tuition rates, and as a result, they may charge up to €20,000 year. Make sure you are informed of costs and have a budget that works for you while picking your college.

Study Opportunities

As an international student, Germany is a fantastic location to study because it is quite open to outsiders. You’ll probably require a visa if you’re an international student hoping to attend school in Germany. Visit our section on German Student Visas for additional details on this.

If English is not your first language, you must show proof of your linguistic ability. IELTS or TOEFL scores are accepted by the majority of German universities.

Scholarships

Germany offers diverse scholarships for international students, including the prestigious DAAD scholarships, Deutschlandstipendium, Erasmus+ scholarships, and foundation scholarships like Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and Heinrich Böll Foundation. These scholarships provide financial support, covering tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs. They recognize academic excellence, social engagement, and commitment to specific fields, offering opportunities for international students to pursue their studies in Germany.

Living Cost

It is advised that overseas students set aside €800–€900 per month for expenses. Rent, food, travel, and entertainment expenses ought to be covered by this. Be aware that your living expenses may be greater if you reside in a large city like Hamburg or Munich. Students can get discounts in numerous German cities. These are applicable to leisure activities, dining establishments, and art galleries.

Work permit

A fantastic option for students to get money while they study is through part-time employment. You are allowed to work as many hours per week as you would like.

If you are from an EU nation, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland. You are allowed to work 120 full days or 240 half days each year if you are from a non-EU nation. You must ask the Agentur für Arbeit (local employment agency) and the Ausländerbehörde (foreigners’ registration office) for authorization if you want to work more than this. If you decide to work, having some knowledge of German will be useful, and this is a fantastic opportunity to do so.

Post-Study Work permit

Germany offers a post-study work permit known as the “Jobseeker Visa” to international students who have successfully completed their studies. This permit allows graduates to stay in Germany for up to 18 months to search for employment related to their field of study. During this period, they can work full-time and have unrestricted access to the job market. If they secure a job within the visa validity period, they can transition to a long-term work visa or a Blue Card, which provides further work and residency benefits in Germany
