In many countries in the world, pursuing higher education equals high costs. Not in Germany. Of course there are the typical costs such as rent and health insurance, but it is small when compared to popular study destinations throughout the world. For German and international students, public university education is free.
Gain More Experience Doing a Paid Internship
As a student in German you are allowed to work part-time (20 hours a week, full time during vacations). You can do a paid internship in your field of study, which will enhance both your professional knowledge and your network. It also has the potential to lead you to your future dream job.
Unlock Your Potential
German people believe in enthusiasm, commitment and hard work. You can convince your future employer by your motivation, professional knowledge, and interpersonal skills – everything counts. In Germany you can unlock your potential to the fullest – and become the best version of yourself!
Benefit From Numerous Discounts for Students
Of course what matters most is the accommodation. As a student in Germany you get accommodation to student dormitories, which are well kept, comfortable to live in, and very affordable. Your student ID card enables you to use public transportation for free and discounts in cinemas, museums, galleries, and some shops. One of the biggest benefits, though, is the chance to get a bank account free of charge.
Enjoy Affordable Healthcare for Students
Healthcare is around 80€ per month and everything is fully covered. You don’t have to worry about anything if you happen to get a cold or even fall off a bike… Through sickness and health, you will be taken care of.
Dive Into The Diverse Environment
There are a lot of international students in Germany, about 11.9% to be exact!

Germany is one of the safest countries in the world and German police are some of the friendliest. You and your family won’t have to worry about your safety.
