Why study in Germany?

Germany is one of the most popular non-English-speaking destinations, with highly ranked public universities, a strong engineering and research tradition and a growing number of programs taught in English.

  • Public universities

    Most public universities charge low or no tuition fees for many programs; a semester contribution usually applies.

  • English-taught programs

    Hundreds of master’s programs — and a growing number of bachelor’s — are taught fully in English.

  • Industry connections

    Universities of applied sciences work closely with employers and include practical semesters.

  • Stay after graduating

    Graduates can apply for a residence permit to look for a job related to their degree.

Visa, work and timing

Student visa

National visa for study purposes

Students from many countries need a visa before entry, usually with an admission letter and proof of funds such as a blocked account.
