German higher education institutes offer more than 20.000 degrees, programs, and qualification course opportunities e. g. Bachelor, Master, State examination, Doctorate, etc.

Most public higher education institutes are required no tuitions or very low fees. All students pay few administrative costs approximately 150 to 300 euros per semester as student contribution, thereby students receive a student ID that allows them certain benefits e.g. free usage of local public transportation or at very low prices, discount prices on meals at the university cafeteria, theaters and cinemas, etc.

It is a wonderful opportunity for those who are not proficient in the German language. According to DAAD organization, there are 1471 courses that are entirely taught in English at German higher education institutes.
The cost of living in Germany can be still considerable. On average, an international student requires approximately 800 euros per month to cover his/her expenses. As an international student, you are permitted to work for 120 full days or 240 half days (part-time for up to 20 hours a week) in a year.
Student earns anywhere between ˜7 to 15 Euro per hour and roughly around 450 Euro a month, a student earning less than 450 Euro a month need not pay any taxes contribution. Calculating that somewher around 8300 Euros is the standard limit for a year to be not eligible for attract taxation. Some students can cover 70% to 100% of their cost of living.
German and English share the same Germanic root, to make it clear let us show you some examples: Water becomes Wasser and father turns into Vater, etc. Thousands of words share the same root. In addition, German ranks second as the most commonly used scientific language and it’s the most spoken native language on the European continent.
By speaking German you are putting yourself in a position whereby many companies will be interested and will offer you a job due to the fact that many German companies are global leaders and their branches distribute all around the world.

Germany is a very safe country compared to others. It does not matter by day or by night, in town or in the countryside, you can travel and move around freely. Crime and racism in Germany are not a topic one needs to be concerned about, with some rare incidents which could happen anywhere in the world.
Germany has been a major player through important stages of mankind’s history. Studying in Germany is a great opportunity for you to visit the places where natives have given a unique contribution in human history to the historical, cultural, scientific, musical, artistic and philosophical fields.
