Studying in Germany is often more affordable than in many other European countries, particularly for public universities. Most public institutions charge minimal tuition fees, typically ranging from €150 to €350 per semester, covering administrative costs. Some states reintroduced modest fees for non-EU students, averaging €1,500–€3,500 per semester.
In contrast, countries like the UK or Switzerland have higher tuition costs, often exceeding €10,000 annually for international students. However, living expenses in Germany (€850–€1,200/month) are comparable to neighboring nations. Private universities in Germany may charge higher fees, similar to other European private institutions.
