Tuition Fees and Cost of Education

Public universities do not impose tuition fees on either domestic or international students. This policy applies across undergraduate and many postgraduate programs, with students only required to pay a nominal semester fee that covers administrative costs, public transportation and student services. 

Germany Increases Financial Requirements for Visa

On the other hand countries such as US, UK and Australia charge substantial tuition fees, especially for international students. According to the data collected in 2022/2023 there are 2.8 million students total in Germany with 458,210 international students.

Instruction Language
