Education System

The German education system is undoubtedly one of the best in the world. It is based on the Basic Law “Grundgesetz” rules and regulations. Germany is a haven for higher education with world-class universities and countless degree programs globally recognised. It promises high employability and an affordable lifestyle, making it one of the top destinations for international students.

The state universities in Germany are completely free. Only a handful of private institutions charge international students less than €26,000 for UG and not more than €40,000 for PG.

As aforementioned, international students wishing to continue their studies in Germany are advised to learn the German language before moving to the country. Academic performance in Germany’s various entrance exams also benefits students when it comes to admission to free public universities across the country.

Students can choose from different types of higher education institutions in Germany. There are universities, universities of applied sciences, private universities and universities of cooperative education, each with a specific specialisation in their higher education institution.
