Study in Germany

Life as an international student

Compare programme content, teaching language and the city’s housing market. Learning German can help with everyday life even on an English-taught programme. Ask the international office about arrival, enrolment, health insurance and local registration.

Courses, costs & preparation

Check recognition of your qualifications and the university’s exact application route. Some institutions use uni-assist or require a preliminary review; others accept direct applications. Public and private costs differ, and tuition-free does not mean cost-free. Confirm financing and visa evidence with the embassy’s current checklist.
