Make a life in Germany

In Germany, student residences and shared flats, known as WGs, are common housing choices. Sharing a home creates opportunities to make friends, practise the language and share everyday responsibilities. Accommodation is generally not automatic with university admission, so start looking early and ask the international office for guidance. Alongside your studies, make room for sports, meeting friends in cafés and exploring the city’s parks.

Plan for the whole experience

In Germany, tuition and semester contributions are separate. DAAD estimates living costs at roughly EUR 900–1,200 monthly, with rent and location making a substantial difference.

  • Tuition & study

    Many public programmes have no tuition, but state, institution and programme exceptions apply; check your own course.

  • Everyday budget

    Budget for semester contributions, insurance, food and transport alongside rent; transport-ticket coverage varies.

  • Getting started

    Keep study materials and arrival costs separate; actual spending and proof-of-funds requirements are not necessarily equal.

  • Funding & budgeting

    Research scholarships early; do not depend on prospective student work to cover all living expenses.

Figures are estimates from official guides; confirm current amounts with your institution and accommodation provider.

Admission & student visas for Germany

Check whether your prior qualification and language skills meet the German programme’s entry requirements. Visa requirements depend on citizenship and residence status.

  • Admission & enrolment

    Secure admission to a recognised institution; qualification assessment, preparation or an entrance examination may be needed.

  • Documents & preparation

    Prove funding through an accepted route, such as a blocked account, scholarship or declaration of commitment.

  • Visa & residence process

    If required, arrange a study visa before travelling and the relevant study residence permit after arrival.

The route and documents depend on your nationality, course and circumstances; check the official current checklist before applying.
