Germany is an increasingly popular destination for overseas education, offering world-class universities, cutting-edge research opportunities, and minimal or no tuition fees for many programs.
Public universities, in particular, either charge very low tuition fees or are tuition-free for international students, though a small semester fee for administrative purposes is common. Private universities, however, do charge tuition, and the costs vary by program. While many undergraduate courses are taught in German, requiring proficiency in the language (B2 or C1 level), a growing number of English-taught programs are available, especially at the master's level, with students needing to demonstrate English proficiency through exams like IELTS or TOEFL.
