Public universities charge little or no tuition, and a growing number of master's programmes are taught entirely in English — making it one of the most affordable options for international students.
Most public universities charge no tuition fees — you pay only a semester contribution (roughly €150–€350) that usually includes public transport. Some private and certain non-EU programmes do charge fees.
Bachelor's programmes typically take three years, master's two years. German-taught programmes generally require the Studienkolleg foundation year if your school qualification isn't directly recognised.
English-taught programmes need IELTS or TOEFL; German-taught ones need TestDaF or DSH. Indian applicants usually also need an APS certificate verifying their academic documents.
You need admission confirmation, a blocked account (currently about €11,904) or a sponsor, plus health insurance. Apply at the German mission well before your intake.
You can work up to 140 full days per year alongside your studies, and apply for an 18-month post-study job-seeking residence permit after graduating.
Engineering, automotive, mechanical sciences, computer science, natural sciences and manufacturing technology are Germany's best-known strengths.
